1988 Renault 11 GTL review from Venezuela
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch cable went at 2 years.
Accelerator cable (3 years).
Gas tank leaked (5 years).
Wiper motor (5 years).
Tailpipe went at 6 years.
Clutch and clutch pedal (6 years).
Timing chain made all kinds of noises at the end. Sold it - the new owner changed a chain puller or straightener or something for $50 and is still running. It now has 200.000 kms.
General comments?
Excellent little car. Wish they still sold them here. I'd buy one again.
