Diesel leaks requiring new gaskets and starter motors, happened twice within 12 months. A known fault by Renault the dealer showed me what they had to do to repair it.
Master clutch cylinder failed within the first two weeks.
Leaks in the floor pan storage boxes, took two goes to get it repaired.
Total clutch failure at 18,000 miles, all the fluid leaked out had to be towed home by AA.
Paint on internal front door handles flaking off, replaced at 15000.
When AA turned out for the failed clutch we discovered the boot was full of water.
I really enjoy driving this car; got lots of go from the small engine, comfortable, good ride, quiet and very economical; often 55mpg on a long run.
However the reliability issues are a real problem, and the car has spent more time in the garage in the 18 months that I have had it, than most other cars I have owned over 35 years. This will be the last Renault that I buy.
I completely know where you are coming from!
I am at the end of my tether with my Renault Megane Oasis 1.5dci. I bought in Dec 2005, and after only two weeks it broke down on the motorway and the car was recovered to my local Renault dealer, who then tried telling me that I had put the wrong fuel in the car (which I had not).
After a few days in the garage I picked it up only for the same thing to happen again, so back to the garage it went, that car was never seen again as the car was replaced, which you may think to be a suitable resolution! it may have been but since receiving the second car:
The door seal leaks which they have tried to fix twice now -It STILL leaks.
The sunroof opens without any problem -
Won't close without forcing (I haven't opened it again since in case it doesn't close.
The clutch failed at the end of 2007 - and was replaced.
01 May 2008, whilst out driving today it seems the clutch it on it's way out AGAIN!
I have never needed a clutch replacing on a single car that I have owned EVER, let along twice within six months!
This will be the ONLY Renault I will EVER own and the sooner I am shot of it the better.
