Warranty expires in 6 mnths!

[obiw*nkenobi]

Hello all,

My clio is now in its last 6 months of warranty and have arranged for my 24thou mile service. At the same time i will be having my steering wheel replaced (rubber thumb grip coming away) is there anything i should consider mentioning to the dealer.

Ive noticed on the forums that numerous people have had probs with dampers. i also have some knocking noises when going over rough roads and my exhaust seems to rattle excessively at low revs in 4th and 5th gears. Are these common gripes with the 182 and can they be fixed gratis under the warranty.

Would appreciate a list of potential problems as it seems to me to be sensible to get these fixed under warranty rather than leaving them and paying for them myself in the near future. Im sure other owners are in the same position and would welcome your input.

Thanks

Yep the problem can be fixed depends how bad they are.

There a long list of problems but Renault dealers can only fix whats broken not what might break. Otherwise they'd have to chnage the whole car for a new one.

i wouldnt bother with an extended warranty as most arent worth the paper they're written on

Renault own one is better than there 3rd year one realy.
I agree most are worth as much as loo paper.

^ my car came with an extended warranty, and if you read it carefully it stated 'like for like' so they would use second hand parts and pay the labour. and if the part was likely to increase the value of the car (say a new clutch) then you had to pay a contribution. all in the small print of cause, so it was worthless.
