Clio 200 4th gear crunch misery...

[eorpa]

Hey chaps, appreciate people are probably sick of seeing posts on this issue but I would be grateful for any help / advice..

I've had my Clio 200 at the dealer and it's confirmed 4th gear synchro problems as is always the case.. According to RUK because it is 'not a known/common issue' they won't track the fault or have a standard response, so have asked for a reference number / reg where RUK have offered a contribution to a replacement. Would someone who has been through this process possibly PM me a case ref/reg where they have had a good outcome or RUK have acknowledge this frequent fault? (arisaig@gmail.com)

Many thanks for any help!

Liars.

It's as known a fault as the pope shitting in the woods.

Hopefully someone comes along soon with some proper advice for you.

It's definitely a known fault as they've changed the synchro rings to steel now!!!!

Op hope someone comes in here to help you take the fight to RUK.

Not common ha ha ha

They're talking sh*te. It's probably THE most common mechanical defect on the 200s.

There's lots of threads on here about it which you can use to bolster your argument.

There's a thread on Clio197.net that is tens of pages long, just on this issue.

Odd that they made them out of that to start with then changed them to steel.

If the synchros are more durable, I wonder what will break next.

Assuming they were originally made to wear
