Car looks a bit like this at the minute!When do the problems stop?
After the problem with the trip computer reseting itself diagnosed as a faulty instrument panel and replaced. We had the car back and felt like this again
However this only lasted about 2 days as a more serious problem developed. Engine progressively started to sound more diesel like and eventually like a tractor. So out came the AA to see if it was drivable to the dealers. They said no and towed it to the dealers for us. The dealers have now had the car for 2 days and dont know what the problem is. On the first day i phoned up to see what progress they had made. Only to find they had "had a look" and "need to fetch someone technical". Now between you and me i thought the receptionist wasnt used primarily to diagnose problems anyway. Today i have more news they think its a pulley failure but they cant tell me which one and how long or how they intend to fix it. We are without curtesy car as they dont have one available yet and we arnt priority as Renault only cover you for the first year regards courtesy cars. The car is a 172 exclusive, 1 year old and has done 8k please tell me all this work will be covered under warrenty. Has anyone got that address to write to a renault HQ as i am thinking of giving the car back, or asking for some better service. The car seemed to lose power recently and fuel economy has droped from 40-50mpg to 31 - 33mpg is this connected?
