First post on this forum, warning, it's a bit of a rant!!!
My 2.0t sporthatch has been in the local dealer at least six times now for this problem. So far they have replaced coils, injectors (had to order the parts so that was another visit), replaced part of the fuel line (they didn't tell me i had to empty the tank, so that was anoher few hours wasted waiting for them to do work on the car then being told they couldn't as there was petrol in it!) given it back without disclosing what work was done, and on my last visit, I was told I was using the wrong type of fuel and running it nearly empty. I told them I that i leave it in to them nearly empty as I was told to earlier, they implied this was a possible cause of the problem!
Checking the manual and the fuel filler flap, they said 95 or 98 ron, unleaded or super unleaded respectively. I've been running 95 ron, but I was told by the dealer I had to use super! So I filled it with super, and guess what, the problem persists.
I have come to the conclusion that they have no idea what the problem is, the diagnostics say there is "no fuel"?!
So i have a car that has very variable MPG, even over the same route at the same speed, has a noticeable vibration at idle, the emissions warning light comes on (usually when stopped at lights but not always) and I'm spending as much time at the dealership as i do at work.
Dont think I'll be getting another renault anytime soon, unfortunately this is a company car and I'll have it for another two years.
Anyone had an accurate diagnosis of the problem that fixed the fault?
Thanks,
Andy
P.S.sorry about the mini novel there
