1988 Renault 19 TS 1.4 petrol
Faults:
Leak from cooling system 45k miles.
Clutch cable broke 50k miles - should have been repaired under recall but was finally repaired foc by dealer.
Door locks a problem throughout owning car.
Choke linkage fell off 70k.
Oil leak from head gasket 95k miles.
General Comments:
Owned from 30k miles to 105k miles.
Very comfortable car, but too many mechanical build standard problems. Became a bit of a rattler during later years, although body work remained immaculate.
Excellent dealer service but pricey.
Basic car but good work - horse over the years. Solid feel on the road.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
