"Unreliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

We bought a Megane 2000 Coupe 3 years ago with the first 2000 motor. After a few months it started cutting out for no reason and refused to start. Once it was in a Renault garage in Germany for 3 weeks before they were able to start it - they didn't know why it eventually started. Because Renault were unable to locate the problem they eventually changed the car. After less than a year the new one starts missing very badly. Changing the whole injection system helped for one week...

After going to several dealers and the importer without them being able to solve this problem, we were reliably informed by a Renault source that there is a known design fault in this engine and that it is now out of production.

The current owners sitting with this problem have no solution - Renault France respond by just saying - 'clean the injection system' which doesn't help...

Who else has experiences with this engine???

General comments?

How can a Renault leave their customers with a design problem which makes the car virtually unsellable and just basically say 'hard luck'. This is unbelievable...

This is a problem that even the worse manufacturer should accept responsibility for... but Renault - no way!!

Hi,

I'm from Germany. I bought the same

car. It's the Scandinavin type or?

Are there always the lights on? I have

problems with my engine. It stucks

when I want to accelerate. The German

Renault garage can't locate the problem.

Can someone help me?

Greets.

Wolfgang.

Mine has the same problems with the injection. The car went back to the garage today after it's been there for 6 weeks.

I am surfing for Consumers' rights. There need to be someone able to help us.
