1995 Renault Laguna RT from UK and Ireland - Comments

Door card seals failed allowing carpets to get soaked, radio remote stalks unreliable and have been replaced. Engine management system gives intermittent fault leading to jerky running at low revs plus revs fluctuating from 500 to 3000 rpm on tickover. Dealer unable to sort out problem.

Loads of space, economical(ish) on a long run, comfortable, nice design. Engine pretty gutless unless rev'ed hard and thirsty around town.

I too have the door seal problem, in my case it is the rear passenger door - is this common? I know of at least two other examples. Have Renault ever passed comment about this?

I as well have this problem with the leaking rear passenger door seals and know of a lot of other people who have had it, I got on to renault customer services claiming it to be a design flaw and they told me to get it checked out at a renault dealer and if it is they would correct the problem free of charge, I am in that process at the moment. I have noticed recently that door has slightly dropped leaving a little gap in the top of the seal, this must be the design flaw otherwise there would not be so many problems with the same door leaking, get it checked.

I have recently purchased a 98 "R" reg Laguna. When I got the car I did not notice any problems and I was delighted with my buy, BUT after a rain shower I noticed the windows misting up very badly. After a brief inspection I found the rear footwells were soaking wet, I mean I could keep gold fish in them! Since reading comments I have realised other people have the same problem, surely this MUST be a factory fault, please could you advise me as to what I can do about it? Any advice concerning this matter would be very gratefully received.

Thank you

Can anyone suggest how to fix the problem of a leaking rear passenger door?

Thanks.

Hi I'm wondering, what does RT mean on a Laguna RT?

'RT' is used to denote a police pursuit car. In the police the 'area car' or 'RT car' (so called as it has a force radio (RT mainset radio) fitted). These are fast pursuit cars that can only be driven by advanced drivers so it might be using that to portay it as fast or sporty.

I solved the leaking back door by putting a hole in the rubber seal at the bottom of the back door hence the water going out of the car rather than inside.
