Renault – not long-lived? Hello, I drove a 92 R19 in 1998 which ran without any problems. The family of my buddy drives from eternal times only Renault – always satisfied. I bought in Dec. 2002 a new Megane 1,5DCI (new model) . In April 03 I rewrapped the contract because the ESP has always failed. In addition there were constantly error messages. My mother bought the same car/engine in Jan. 03, which she has now paid for a Grandtour. Verb smoke on the driven 37,000 KM: 4.5 l. She had very few problems over the running time. Only to the end came a lot of error messages: steering wheel lock out of function, failure rain / light sensor, whereby I feel 37,000 KM as no great mileage. I looked the last days after a Laguna DCI with 120 hp, BJ 01-03. There are not much positive reports, most advise off. AutoImage is also not enthusiastic about the long-term qualities. What is it about? We still have e in the 98er Alfa 156. From the 156 with the JTD from the above years one reads much less negative!
