1992 Renault 19 16v from UK and Ireland - Comments

What things have gone wrong with the car?

2 engines in 9 months, not had the will to do anything with it yet. I'm told 16v engines are prone for the third piston to seize - must be something in it, I've done 2!

Genuine parts are bloody expensive.

General comments?

Great car to drive very quick, superb handling, leather seats are very horny.

Pity I seem to be the only one that's had not very good luck with them.

I can *assure* you, that you are not alone in having your hand permanently stuck in your wallet with this car... I call mine 'the money pit' ;)

Oh yes I agree completely. Two engines in 7 months and about £3000 spent! Despite that, the car was very comfortable with the leather and reasonably quick. I also gained a few complements on the way it looked - not bad for a 10 year old car.
