Stick me down, mine bangs like a b*tch when accelerating from a standing start!
Embarrassed to say
This is starting to get out of control. When you ring up a renault dealer they play dumb and tell you to bring it in (no doubt its a good money maker).
This goes for me too. Ive yet to do any more than test drive my car, but stick me on the list.
After reading what everybody says they have, sounds like what I get too. First couple of times thought I had broken something. Reno knew nothinbg about it and said since they coulnt simulated it on a test drive there was nothing wrong. I have learnt to drive around the problem a bit now so it doesnt happen as much. I am too scared of breaking somthing.
Oh yes, count me in !

They can use mine on a test drive. It is the one thing that gets on my nerves about the car so I wil put my name down.
Attention everyone who has had this problem!!!! I have been in contact with Renault and am having problems trying to get it sorted under warranty!! They insist that no one else has registered a complaint!
Please can anyone else who has or had this problem contact Renault Customer services on 0800 072332. If everyone registers a complaint then may be they will start to recognise the problem.
You will need to get a reference number - mine is 1-45715244. Please post your ref. no. so that I can collect them together!!
Many Thanks!

That is strange because when i rang customer services they told me that they never heard of this fault before. Good idea to collect the reference numbers, will get mine tommorrow.

My reference number -
1-45570644
Told them renault solihull have a fix for it and the place i took it said the problem was in my head, they said that all the garages look at the same information so she didnt know why one garage could fix it and the other couldnt.

Under hard acceleration when you get wheel spin, your engine bangs against your subframe making a juddering/banging noise. Everyone thats been in my car and experienced it has said "your car is f*cked/you better get that seen to/its not supposed to be like that/my williams doesnt do that/my 10 year old xr2i is better made/my mk1 clio 172 can wheel spin normally etc". I have come to the point where I just like driving on my own.
If anyone in london wants to meet up and compare cars ill be up for it.

My car is like a beast now its chipped. Even with half throttle clutch out i get wheelspin.
After 2,500 happy 172 miles, the first fault has reared its ugly head. Put foot down a bit out of icy junction this morning, wheels spun followed by a big bang coming from lower/rear side of engine. It only banged once before the traction control cut in. But once was enough!!
Count me in!!!
