1986 Renault 25 GTX from Spain - Comments

"Big, fast, comfortable... and expensive to drive."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Broken on-board computer (petrol level).

3rd gear very noisy.

Broken ventilation control, only "all" or "nothing" positions.

It "drinks" a lot of petrol.

Electric problems, and start-engine failures.

General comments?

Good perfomance, due to a good weight-power factor (9.8 Kg/Hp), almost impossible today in a car of this class. I can drive in the line of 200 km/h without big sounds or vibrations.

Good chassis too, it handles very well. However, it has a lot of weight over the front wheels, so on mountain roads it's a little slow.

Quite good brakes, but I don't have ABS.

Very good comfort. Big and comfortable seats (better than my home!), low noise, and a lot of space (I'm 190 cm tall, and I can sleep inside!)

Drinks a lot of petrol, much more on city driving.

He lies when he speaks (He say to me "low petrol" when I have just recharged 50 liters)!

About the fan control module, have you tried to repair it? Because it is very easy to do so. There are almost no electronics, it is made of simple switches, that need simple cleaning, once in a while.

If you need some advice, that I can help, write to yassen_d@Yahoo.com

With the ventilator switch - It is probably just dirty inside, I had the same problem with the one in my R25, also in one of the power window switches was dirty inside.
