Hello all, I drive a Megane Coupe (TCE 180) built in 2009. I bought the car at the end of 2011 and had not had any significant problems. I was good every 2 years during the inspection in the workshop. The car now has about 140,000 km. A few weeks ago I noticed that some vibrations can be felt when accelerating in the 4th and 5th gear between 65-80 KM/H (between 2000-3000 revolutions). At first I thought the accelerator or the gear lever would vibrate, but My co-drivers also feel these vibrations, so it affects the whole car. It is not extreme, but noticeable… and as soon as you have about 3000 revolutions or drive over 85 km/h everything is normal again. Hard to describe, it feels as if there is some imbalance in it or something back and forth commuting/hurling under the car or in the engine room. But as I said, only in the said frame and then everything is normal again. It is also only easy to feel, had already worried that the Employees from the workshop may not even notice what I mean. Because it didn’t leave me alone I went to a Renault specialist workshop and took a test drive with an employee. He also felt these “vibrations”. I left the car there to look for the error. Now I got a first call today: In the transmission oil would be many chips and one suspects the transmission would be in no good condition and should be replaced. Only price for the transmission: 4500 € I almost fell off the chair! Apart from these “vibrations” that I feel every now and then, the car drives quite normal and doesn’t make any funny noises or the like. In addition, the employee said that the problem might not have been solved yet, it could also be something with the ignition and wanted to know how to proceed now. I told him of course that I didn’t have the gearbox replaced for 4500 €, so I can buy a new car right away… Now I would like to pick up the car again tomorrow and ask the staff more precisely how they come up with it etc. and asked me to write down the defects so that I can inform myself in peace. Can it really be that a defective gearbox leads to the problems I described it comes to? Wouldn’t it always have to be a vibration/vibration? I can’t really believe it…but I’m not a specialist either…I’m a bit at a loss. and had similar problems with his Megane? Thanks and greetings
