Noise on 182 any ideas

[k4thy]

Only had my 182 for a week and whenever i reverse and then go to pull away I hear this clunk, seems to be on the passenger side. It seems to happen once youve changed gear and start to release the clutch.

Anyone know what this might be?

Kathy, use the search. Most of your question regarding ownership are covered on here. Rattles, 1st gear knocking when giving the pot noodle horn and crap renault dealers.

Dont worry about the noise, its the ABS self testing. Does it on all the cars, and wont do it again until you turn off the ignition and restart it

Mines got to go back in as i had the petrol blue colour and theres some problems with the paint on the doorhandles and the tailgate so i might mention it when it goes in and see what they say.

It might be annoying, but mine (and probably everyone elses) does it only after starting the car and first pulling away. You get a scrape/vibration through the pedals. The only other thing is some people get a slightly different one when the wheels are on full lock.
