Mkl22 Twincharged February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 my opinion is that a renault is only as good as a display car. Park it and enjoy the interior. it last the longest that way. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 (edited) Those on timing belt, change your timing belt @ 3 year mark or 60,000 km whichever comes first to prevent belt piang = engine piang piang..... Unfortunately, this is the most expensive wear and tear part to change for Reno cars. Other parts like air and aircon filters, spark plugs are very cheap and easy to DIY change.

Hamburger Hypersonic February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 What would be a good diesel Renault model? Maybe Fluence????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Headlight still not too bad after your first attempt, but the orange turning signal bulb is even higher up and unless your hand/arm is "snake" = can wriggle up to reach it, ...... ya. except headlight bulbs for the megane. dumbass french design. only they can ever come up with such a C0CK design. All (Grand Scenic, Fleuence, Megane) using the same 1.5 diesel as kangoo, Nissan NV van, MB Citan. Only tuning is different; varies from models. What would be a good diesel Renault model?Maybe Fluence????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
