GT 86
Following on from my post STOP steering fault.
Some may have read it some not, to cut a long story short if you haven't, my car came up with the above and complete loss of power steering, diagnosed independently as a failed EPS, then confirmed by Renault as the same.
Total cost for job £1450, though Renault have paid 50% in fairness to them as my car is 3 1/2 years old with 27000 miles, so out of warranty. Still leaves me £700+ out of pocket.
The repair requires a complete steering column.
My main point is that after speaking with Renault again today they initially told me there was no issue however when pressed there would appear to be an issue with the EPS system on 2009 to 2012 Clio 200's. Strangely enough they seem to be failing just outside of warranty. Maybe there was a bad batch manufactured.
So if your car is coming to the end of its warranty just a heads up that there could be a problem ( this part is NOT covered under extended warranties).
Also a consideration if you are thinking of buying a 200.
