Sorry to hear you’re out of RS ownership. Interesting looking car. Like the pug version of a regular car. Build thread?

Ph2 (Q3 2021) has different shaped lights, an updated centre console/dash and that’s about it. They might have the Euro6 engine. AFAIK the 2021 PH2 and 2022 PH2 are exactly the same. Tyres, The rears wear as well with the rear steer but depends on the tyres you have. Every 5k should be fine. Lightweight battery was sorted with the PH2 I believe. Why Auto? Better colour and the much desired Performance Pack…

Did you get something it writing that the issue would be fixed if you had 4 of the same tyres? I’d be asking for them to compensate you for the cock about. what tyres did you get btw? Potenza sports are normally 25% off and they rip

Matt I think you’re the least of our problems. Where thems gear knobs at?!

Welcome Zane. You’ll find a huge amount of knowledge on here and a fair chunk of irreverent trash that’s pretty entertaining.

If it's a daily I doubt you'll miss the LSD especially if you're dealing with crappy roads. The Sport chassis is more than capable even if the Cup has the prestige of 'race car' and the black wheels look much better than the diamond cut ones There are a couple of places that do them but they're probably a cookie cutter type standardised tune. Paul from RS Tuning in the UK occasionally comes out here for tuning. He was here last year and @squibby generally is the organiser.

Welcome! Lovely car! Best Megane ever IMO but i am biased...

Might have a boost leak. The dv isn’t designed to increase boost, just improve the lag when changing gears. If it’s not hitting peak boost the the ecu is stopping it likely. Could be a solenoid issue. Might want to reseat it or tightening it

Did you have a look at the boost before the DV+ was installed?

Unfortunately, or fortunately whichever way you look at it, the 147/156 GTAs were a genre all on their own. The sound, torque, looks and way they devoured bushes and timing belts is something that was never seen before or after. the megane 280 is a far cry from the Alfa life.

Welcome mate! were you part of the AusAlfa community? The transition from Alfa to Renault is quite an easy one and there are several Alfisti here including myself. you’ll find the crushing depression from having an Alfa that doesn’t work will disappear quickly however the crushing depression from owning an RS will replace it.

This did you get the correct colour?

Nice one! Pictures are a must even if there are several other TO 280s on here. the PS4S is probably the best bang for buck tyre out there. They’re not cheap tho

I live in Canberra and our roads are dog water. The cup chassis is fine.

Welcome! The Orange is the best colour but then I'm biased. The only thing that has been an issue is the fuel pump but that should have been sorted under the recall. The 2019 should have a 5 year warranty so still have one year left. Service costs are relatively good. Im getting my 2018 serviced today and im looking at roughly $440 plus a loan car (Koleos!). The EDC is a nice box and doesn't really have issues. If it's been well maintained, they're a reliable car much like any modern passenger vehicle. Good luck with your search
