warrenty question

[Dyewitness]

my mate has a 1.2 16v and is based down in manc, car is now just over 1 year old, he is finding that there is what he calls a squeak when he is turning the steering wheel, sorry i know it sounds vague and he promises he aint been playing with small furry animals but question is if he puts in into renault dealer will they charge him to find out what it is?

Id imagine its a 50/50 thing. they may well try to spin the line fair wear and tear

But Id ask first, and if its not then live with the squeak.

If its a faulty steering colum etc. it will be 100% warranty, if its a noise caused by a trim etc it will be a contribution from Renault and the extra has to be paid.

hmm, dunno?!

 

[JAY172]

if its a trim rattle/squeak then thats only covered in your first years warranty.if its an electrical/mechanical component causing the problem(rotary switch,steering column etc) then warranty will pay.

it is the rotary switch without a doubt. Ive had it replaced under warrenty so you should have no problem! its a similar sound to crumpling a leather jacket or something.
