1999 Renault Clio RT review from Singapore
"A lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Immediately after the warranty ran out, the main crankshaft oil seal needed replacing and also the timing belt as a result.
The CV boots were replaced.
The a/c evaporator coil needs replacing.
Battery barely made 22,000 kms.
Some electrical problem made it impossible to start.
General comments?
Nice little car with a comfortable ride, but mechanical reliability is pathetic.
