182 has now gone!
Right.. both my key fobs stopped working a few weeks back.. Can still lock/unlock the car with the key. But the fobs wont work,
Been in to Renault near enough allday today, cost me £123! for the diagnostic and a courtesy car.
Problem.. Keys work and are transmiting fine..
The broken part is within the UCH control unit, which is a sealed unit..
Therefore this has to be replaced.. New unit £174.00+ VAT, fitting and re programming of keys = nearly £400!!!
Now the technican said some clios have the key fobs units seperate, which are easier to get to and cheaper to replace... but mine is one of the ones that is within the UCH unit..
The car is just over 3 years old, and out of warrenty. I thinking of writting a letter to Renault UK as I am not happy about paying for this, especially for a whole new unit!
Anyone had this happen to them??
or written to Renault and had much luck??
Thanks... :dapprove:
