Airbag light on/clicking from steering!
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 11:28 am
Hi fellow owners/sufferers.
My vehicle:
Renault Megane Expression
1.6 16V petrol engine
05 plate
48000 (roughly) mileage
Manual
Well I have yet ANOTHER fault with my car.
The Airbag light is intermittently coming on. As is a very annoying and quite loud clicking/grinding noise coming from within the steering cowling area (strangely also intermittent).
Having done a small amount of research it would appear likely to be the "Rotary Switch".
My questions then i suppose:
1. Do Renault replace these under warranty regardless?
2. The noise actually occurred well within the warranty period (although it is now out of warranty) and so I am assuming/demanding that they cover it anyway. I do have proof that I complained of the noise. Opinions?
3. Anyone heard of the handbrake warning light being delayed in illuminating after pulling handbrake on?
4. Any other 'regular' or known faults that are coming my way (I have been stung by the dephaser thing already!!!)?
