This is a case of premature failure that happened to one of our readers, the owner of a Renault Twingo III novelty.
Christiane D, minor a very bad surprise to see what his clutch gave up only… 3900 km!
Bad use? Premature failure? In any case, Renault refuses to help our motorist. Confused, he addressed AutoPlus development.
HS clutch on Renault Twingo only for 3900 km
Although she does not drive very much now, Christiane Delrio from Rilliers-la-Pape (69 years old) decides to buy herself a new car in the fall of 2019.
His choice falls on a Renault Twingo 1.0 SCe 65. A little car that she takes great care of and doesn’t miss, only a year after owning it and when she’s only driven 2,500km to get it serviced at her dealership as required by the maintenance plan service.
Last April, she again had to entrust her small city car to a man of art, because landslide it becomes very difficult. From the analysis of the car, it follows that the complete clutch, including the flywheel, needs to be replaced!
Our reader challenged the diamond company
While the car has only 3900 kmto pay the bill for the sum 1582 euros seems abnormal to this unfortunate reader.
A registered letter is then sent to the developer demanding reimbursement of this amount. Renault’s response might be laughable if the financial stakes weren’t so high.
Indeed, the error is rejected due to “coverage, bad weather”, but also possibly due to Christiana’s behavior. An argument that seems completely inappropriate, the flywheel is damaged and Christiana’s driving is not sporty.
To get to the heart of the matter, she decides to ask us about the position Renault.
Our defense strategy
If Christiana’s behavior was the cause of this failure, it would be necessary to go to the simple replacement of the clutch disc.
Having left the spirit and the flywheel, Renault cannot but admit that this element turned out to be too fragile, which is confirmed by the reviews of many readers.
In this case, the mark will not disappear on a car less than 2 years old and with a mileage of less than 4,000 km. and must reimburse his client 100% of the bill paid.
