satsuper Posted 7, July 2016 Report Share Posted 7, July 2016 Hi All, Bought this car second hand about 6 months ago and has been great so far. I signed up to the forums around the same time but it was not obvious I was stuck in the spam filter here . Liking the driving experience so far and want to track it some day. The only things I don't like so far is the headlight angle(distance?) is useless for night driving and the RS monitor glitches. Its a 2014 model with 17k kms on it now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No152 Posted 7, July 2016 Report Share Posted 7, July 2016 Welcome to the forum and great choice of steed. Utterly brilliant aren't they?!!! Sorry to hear about the glitches with the RS monitor. What's happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unusual Posted 7, July 2016 Report Share Posted 7, July 2016 That's a great photo. Most people only put up photos after hours of detailing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satsuper Posted 8, July 2016 Author Report Share Posted 8, July 2016 Sorry to hear about the glitches with the RS monitor. What's happening? Occasionally it seems to stop reporting any figures so all gauges are at zero. I discovered renault AU store and downloaded a system and maps update recently so hopefully the problem goes away.

I thought the system had been pretty much perfected now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its pretty weird and annoyingly only seemed to happen when in sport mode going for a nice drive. Haven't checked out much in RS monitor since doing the system update so hopefully the problem is gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosts in the machine can be annoying.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzNick Posted 8, July 2016 Report Share Posted 8, July 2016 My RS monitor has never missed a beat so I'm reluctant to update it in case it suddenly starts playing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barny Posted 8, July 2016 Report Share Posted 8, July 2016 Can you guys explain how the oil temp works with the monitor please. If you do some hard driving, will it record the max temp during that period? Or just monitor as your driving showing what ever the temp is at that time?

satsuper Posted 10, July 2016 Author Report Share Posted 10, July 2016 Can you guys explain how the oil temp works with the monitor please. If you do some hard driving, will it record the max temp during that period? Or just monitor as your driving showing what ever the temp is at that time? Yeah it just shows the current temp as far as I have seen. If you leave it open it seems that it will draw a line indicating what the max temp was at some point in time. Had a nice drive on Saturday and no RS monitor glitches so hopefully its gone for good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBWL265 Posted 10, July 2016 Report Share Posted 10, July 2016 Hi mate. I see you said you aren't happy with headlight beam height/distance. I have a 2014 as well. Not a trophy mind you. But right next to the rs sport/esc off button near my tight knee there is a dial that changes The headlight angle in mine? Is it the same in yours?

But right next to the rs sport/esc off button near my tight knee there is a dial that changes The headlight angle in mine? Is it the same in yours? Yeah I have the same dial. It is set to zero which I believe points them in the most upwards angle. The lights seem bright enough just pointed quite low relative to some other cars I have driven. My plan is to get them looked at by the dealer during my next service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx777 Posted 10, July 2016 Report Share Posted 10, July 2016 The problem that you mentioned about the RS Monitor was a common problem around 2 versions of firmware back. I had that when I first bought the car, but it's been flawless since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBWL265 Posted 11, July 2016 Report Share Posted 11, July 2016 No worries. Mine seem to be too high at their highest so hopefully they will be able to fix yours at service then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
