Mondeo STTDCI
I'm fucked off with Renault TBH and if someone would've said "here's £8k for your car" earlier I woulda took it.
Car has had the little temp gauge issue for a while I just havent got around to getting it in to the garage and it happens so intermittently I just left it until I could make time. Car decided to do it today driving home, temp gauge goes down to cold, car starts overfuelling or whatever and gets all lumpy. Then stop at lights and its idling at 2000rpm for some reason so I turned it off to turn it back on which has worked before. So it decides it doesnt wanna start.
After 6/7 attempts it starts so I thought better try and get it into Renault. Visited Romford Renault and explained the issue. Cant get me in until the 15th November. Ra!
So I called Toomey's explained the issue and he said "we'll need the car for a day, at least 6 hours". Realistically what would they be doing for 6 hours!!! Putting a new engine in?! SO I said "But its a known issue isnt it". He says "I dont know is it? And it'll need to go on a laptop computer to diagnose the fault". I said "Well it takes like 10mins to do a diagnostic doesnt it?". "Err well yeah but you need to leave it and not wait". So I said I'd be waiting with it and could I come on Saturday morning to which he replies "We dont have the expertise on a Saturday to deal with it".
I just found all the dealers consistently unwilling to help anyone out who has an issue. I'm not gonna go through my life story but the point is the only time I can get in in the next 2 weeks is either after 4pm or on a Satuday and no one was willing to help out. When I had a FORD I never had any problems and just went in and if I was really in the s**t they'd help out. Renault service just dont care.
So is there any dealers doing half decent hatches that DO care? I dont hate the car the opposite in fact, but the whole Renault ownership experience just doesnt make me happy because of crap dealers. I can forgive poor build quality and rattles etc because of the drive of the car. But I cant forgive unhelpful numptys.
This isn't in Other Marques cos it aint about other Marques really though i await it being moved by some mod being "useful". Its not particularly about other marques.
Its also not in Exterior, Power & Mechanical....cos its not particularly about that either.
And its not in Renault Dealers....as its not about any particular dealers really, just all of them. So I put it in here as its a Clio Discussion.
