Excess vibration through steering wheel when accelorating hard.
Excess Wind noise.
Peeling of glossy trim on inside door handle.
sticky clonk when pulling away after 1/2secs.
Seat/seatbelt vibration/rattle.
So off i went to renault and left her there for the day, however they just called me and said cars ready for collecting, no faults were found. ?? But i listed the faults? Where did they go wrong? hummm.....hears where it starts then!? Could someone help me out and list what causes the problems in point 1,2,3,5,6 Peeling is just quality issue. Cheers for the help guys, and sorry to repeat boring sh*t.

Excess Wind noise = sound proofing (i.e lack of) ??

Excess vibration through wheel = driveshaft..maybe

Clunk is the gearbox mount under the battery. The rest just sounds like build quality.

sticky clonk when pulling away??? can you describe it more? Same as on/off throttle clonk?

 

[Dust]

Almost the same noise, but it only happens once, after you pull away, like the brakes were sticking or something else mechnical? Whereas the clunking from on & off throttle happens all the time.

seat rattle could be broken subframe - i had mine replaced. Put your hand on the passenger seat when going over bumpy corners, you should feel the vibration.

Get Renault to them to tighten up the engine mounts when its in next time - they seem to cause a fair few clonks and bangs.

@dust

Clunk when on & off the throttle. (got my steering rack replaced under warranty now all ok. Also when in 5th and putting back in 4th when you let the clutch go it makes the same noice. Latter is still there, but not irritating
Excess vibration through steering wheel when accelerating hard. Not with mine
Excess Wind noise. not with mine
Peeling of glossy trim on inside door handle. Yip me too !
sticky clonk when pulling away after 1/2secs. same as 1st but gone now, when you drive over a puthole put a hand on your steeringrack and you can feel the clunk, if so same prob. I had
Seat/seatbelt vibration/rattle. Yip always put the seatbelt on the passenger side behind the handle (to push the seat back)
for the rest all is ok

Ahh, nice one...will look into that.

I thought, as the dealer couldnt find the problem, ill take the techi out for a test drive and show him the problems, and teach him a lesson..
