2003 Renault Megane Dynamique 1.6 16v
Summary:
Gorgeous car, but not sure if it is reliable
Faults:
Fuel pump stopped working (R4500).
A/C is making a knocking noise.
High level brake light keeps falling off the back window.
Battery needed replacing shortly after purchase (R856).
Needed a service (R1150).
Needed two new tyres (R1250).
Needed the brake pads replaced (R690).
Needed the engine belts greased, since they were screeching on pull off.
Central locking motor in the right back door needed replacing (R800).
General Comments:
Lovely car to drive when it works.
Is very light on fuel, but is heavy on everything else.
My Megane is absolutely packed with luxury and safety features, such as curtain airbags, steering mounted audio controls and auto wipers. It looks absolutely stunning.
I am however beginning to regret the purchase, as the car seems to need constant repairs and adjustments. When parts are ordered, they take ages to arrive, and are extremely costly. I think waiting a month and a half for a fuel pump is crazy.
Whilst posting this review, the car is in for repairs again. The fuel pump seems to be giving issues again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

You're not alone in your misery owning a Renault.
Renault; great looking cars, but the dealers are shockingly over priced with bad attitudes.
The poor quality of the parts and components used to build Renaults - is in reflection why they are plagued with faults.
Will i but another Renault - 'NO CHANCE' i want an easy life, not sat waiting around renault service reception's while they fix the dam thing !
