    French Turbo/Turbo 2 forum with online manuals

    Like all normal people, I've always had an interest in the Renault 5 Turbo/Turbo 2. I just thought I would share this site I came across while looking for French por.....I mean cars:

    http://www.5turbo.org/f39-manuels-de...es-de-rechange

    It's a French 5 Turbo/Turbo 2 site, the section linked above has some online manuals in PDF format. I used to work for a French company and always fancied brushing up on my technical French........so I am having a go at translating the Turbo 2 user manual into English.



    Accès au moteur:

    Pour ôter les panneaux à l'aide de la clé 5 fixée dans le coffre, sous la tablette arrière droite, manoeuvrez les verrous 4 d'un quart de tour dans le sens inverse des aigulles d'une montre.

    Pour replacer les panneaux, pressez les verrous 4, puis tournez-les d'un quart de tour dans le sens des aigulles d'une montre.

    Après utilisation, replacez la clé 5 dans sa fixation.

    Access to the engine:

    To remove the panel with the key 5 fixed in the trunk, under the right rear shelf, manipulate locks 4 a quarter turn in the opposite direction to the pointers.

    To replace the panels, press thebolts 4, then turn them a quarter turn in the direction of the pointers.

    After use, replace the key 5 in its bracket.

    ////////

    and so on! Hopefully these are available in English somewhere but anyway giving it a go here

    19. Indicateur de la pression turbo
    Aiguille dans la 1ere zone: alimentation d'air en dépression.
    Aiguille dans la 2e zone (orange): alimentation d'air en pression.
    Aiguille dans la 3e zone (rouge): elle ne doit jamais se situer dans cette zone.

    ///

    19. Turbo pressure indicator
    Needle into the first zone: air supply in depression.
    Needle into the second zone (orange) air supply pressure.
    Needle in the 3rd zone (red): it should never be in this area.

    That bit was my favourite so far
