The LAGUNA Workshop Repair Manual has been prepared by specialists in repair methods and diagnostics.
The document covers the methods and the diagnostic operations required in order to carry out high quality repairs
on this vehicle.
However, if a removal refitting operation involves no particular features, difficulties or special tools, the method is
not described in this manual, being considered very simple for a vehicle repair specialist.
The labour times are the result of time and motion studies carried out in our workshops, even though certain
methods have not been described in the Workshop Repair Manual.
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
●All dimensions are given in millimetres (mm) except where stated otherwise.
●Tightening torques are expressed in decaNewtonmetres (daNm.)
●Pressures are expressed in bar (rappel: 1 bar = 1 Pa).
●Electrical resistance is expressed in ohms (Ω).
●Voltages are expressed in volts (V).
TOLERANCES
Tightening torques given without a tolerance must be accurate to within:
●In degrees: ± 3˚.
●In daNm: ± 1 %.
MATERIALS AND TOOLS
The repair methods described for the vehicles in the RENAULT range require special materials and tools in certain
cases. There is a wide choice in the catalogue of special materials and tools.

LIFTING
Trolley jack - Axle stands
Safety symbol (special precautions to be taken when carrying out operations)..
The vehicle must not be raised by placing the jack
beneath the front suspension arm or under the rear
axle.
Depending on the type of trolley jack, use sockets
Cha. 4 8- 1 or Cha. 4 8- 2 for accommodating the
cup Cha. 28 - 2.
To lift at the front or the rear of the vehicle, position the
jack beneath the side jacking points.
TROLLEY JACK AT THE SIDE
Use cup Cha. 28 - 2.
Position the jack beneath the valance at the level of
the front door.
Position the flange correctly in the groove of the cup.
AXLE STANDS
When the vehicle is to be placed on axle stands, these
must be positioned:
– either beneath the reinforcements provided for
raising the vehicle with the tool kit jack,
– or beneath the studs located behind the
reinforcements.
Axle stands are positioned at the rear by raising the
vehicle at the sides.
ESSENTIAL SPECIAL TOOLS
Cha. 28 - 2 Adaptor cup for trolley jack
Cha. 4 8- 1
or
Cha. 4 8 - 2
Adaptor socket for trolley jack
If a trolley jack is used, appropriate axle
stands must always be used.

SAFETY ADVICE
Various cases have to be considered:
1 - REMOVING COMPONENTS
As a general rule, never use a two-post lift whenever
a four post lift can be used.
If this is not possible, place the lifting pads beneath the
underbody flange by the tool kit jack supports.

2 - REMOVING AND REFITTING HEAVY
COMPONENTS
WARNING: always use a safety harness if using a
two post lift to remove heavy components.
For your safety, take care to ensure that the vehicle is
balanced when placed on a two post lift.
This is because removing heavy components (such as
the engine and transmission assembly, rear axle or
fuel tank, etc.), depending on:
– the vehicle load,
– its length,
– the position of the lifting pads,
may cause the vehicle to become unbalanced.
It is therefore essential to put a strap around or inside
the bodywork and fix it to the arms of the lift between
the pads.
TOOLING REQUIRED
Straps:
–1 metres long,
–25 mm wide.
Straps are available from SODICAM under Part No.:
77 11 172 554.
This type of strap should only be used to immobilise a
vehicle on a two post lift (for safety reasons, they
should not be used for any other purpose).
Use straps that are in good condition and clean (so as
not to dirty the interior or the bodywork). Avoid
damaging the vehicle by pulling the strap too tight (the
sill panels can be protected at the point where the
strap passes over them).

FITTING THE SAFETY STRAPS
Fastening the vehicle with straps allows work to be
carried out beneath the vehicle free from obstruction.
The strap must be placed at the front and/or rear of the
vehicle during any operation involving the transfer of
weight.
Check the strap before each use.
The lift pads are placed under the vehicle by the tool
kit jack support.
Lift the vehicle a few centimetres.
Protect the vehicle interior (seats, etc....).
Place the strap through under the arms of the lift and
pass twice around the vehicle, placing the strap
protectors correctly so as not to damage the bodywork
or upholstery.
Do not pull too tight.
The following example shows a vehicle secured at the
front.

TOWING

All types
OBSERVE THE TOWING REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTRY YOU ARE IN.
NEVER USE THE DRIVESHAFTS AS AN ATTACHMENT POINT.
The towing points may only be used for towing the vehicle on the road. They should never be used for removing the
vehicle from a ditch or to lift the vehicle, either directly or indirectly.
