CDC is right about Renaults. A friend of mine worked for a garage that sold Nissans, he said that they had very few problems with them. He retired from the garage and went back a several months later to see some of his workmates. The garage had changed over to Renault dealers, their yard was full of Renaults waiting to be repaired, mostly electrical faults. The mechanics said the cars were not very reliable with their electronics. There have been many warnings on this site but people still buy them.

Didn`t you do any research regarding Renaults when buying your motor?Have you seen the number of electrical problems posted on here?I have been in the trade a long time and am still to meet any mechanic/tech with a good word to say about Renaults.
