The first-forward-clutch of the automatic gearbox failed at 110000km, resulting in an expensive repair of USD2000. Seems to be a "normal" problem for this type of transmission between 60000 and 150000km.
Small leakage in airco compressor, replacement costs USD600. Refilling every 6 years only costs USD100.
Damp windows if airco is switched off on rainy days.
"service" light on climate control lights up. The cause for this is unknown. This is not related to compressor leakage.
Absolutely fabulous car to drive, I am still having fun every day.
Very silent, spacey, comfortable and powerful.
The automatic gearbox repair was worth the money.
Unfortunately, Renault has no good successor for this car.
Cheap car to buy second hand: almost no Dutch person wants an gas-guzzler of 1500kg (we pay tax per kilogram). Automatic transmission has an a non-sportive image.
This is my first automatic transmission, and I never want a manual again, despite of the high repair costs. It drives smooth, comfortable, lazy or very quick.
Hi yes some service lights kept coming on on my 3lt rt,so my local garage checked for a fault (power steering) then because the light was still on we simply removed the bulb. Now I have the power steering belt and pump checked on a regular basis
