Hi Guys,
I have the opportunity to buy a 52 plate 1.6vvt dynam facelift model. it has 96000 miles on it and is up for a reasonable price... kindda getting scared by reliability issues. Should I go ahead and buy it or is it money pit??
appreciate all your comments.
cheers
Matt

early models were bad. to be fair, the problem parts would have been replaced by now. the 1.6 engine does have it's problems though which can crop up now and again like any engine. but i'd say no still.

does anyone know what year onwards these problems were fixed? Im looking at an o4 plate now would i be likely to come across the same problems as the earlier ones?

The problems were addressed in the order that they became more apparent. Therefore, unless you have inside knowledge of the the Renault Brand, and the evolution of the marque, stay away. Having said that, if you are a mechanic with experience of French cars, go ahead. I would, as has been posted, bee extremely cautions.

Red 03 plate 5dr 1.9 Dynamique dci120
Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

wasnt the facelift done 04/05? which means this is a phase one that has been made to look like a phase 2 Megane 2. I would assume... please correct if wrong someone

It's an old thread and the original poster was discussing a 52 plate as 'facelift' so I assume he meant MK II vs MK I, rather than Phase II vs. Phase I.
MK II Phase II was Feb '06 I seem to remember.
That's my interpretation anyhow.

Clio 1.5 dCi 88 Dynamique Tom Tom in Oyster Grey + Twingo GT in Pearl Black on a '58'.
