1992 Renault 19 16V review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings worn by 40,000 miles.
Cooling system leaking by 42,000 miles.
Clutch cable snapped 3 times in 15,000 miles.
Alternator was not charging at idle, ie lights would dim at traffic lights.
General comments?
Great car when it was running.
It was my 2nd example of this car, the first was written off.
Both were great fun to drive, quick, smooth, handled well.
Very noisy on motorway, very high revving engine.
Needs constant engine oil top ups.
