"Not too bad"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The gear shift in 2nd gear, did not work after 30000 kilometres, they changed the gear oil and now it works.

The electrical windows made a loud noise, they also got fixed.

The radio sometimes changes channel by itself, the dealer can not solve that problem.

The manifold sealer broke, also got fixed.

General comments?

In general I had a lot of problems with the car.

The dealer always was nice and helped us, also after the warranty, so no complaints about them.

But in general I am a little disappointed with the car - too many problems especially the gear shift, it still ain't good but the warranty is finished, so now I have to pay.

If anyone else has experienced something similar, e-mail me, please: Dadi1@usa.net

You got to change the oil on cars, you know... Even more often when they are new, as small barbs of metal will inevitably get produced from the still sharp edges of gears, and float around in your gearing box, as sand in muddy waters, getting in the way...

Oil change is the first thing to take care of, on any vehicle, whichever type, make and model, if you don't want it to break.

30,000 km? You're a lucky man... First 2 oil changes should be done far before that... Consult your maintenance manual.

Just a friendly advice :-)

Nothing to do with Renault ;-)
