Ibby55 Posted 15, February 2018 Report Share Posted 15, February 2018 Hi everyone. I have purchased a 2013 megane rs265 rb8 from the dealer 2 weeks ago and has been an absolutely awesome car to drive especially after i found out it had a miltek exhaust from the previous owner. Just yesterday I started to hear some whining noise from near the pulleys, very light. Is this normal? Also, i can hear a little pinging as i strecth out the gears. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ibby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 15, February 2018 Report Share Posted 15, February 2018 Was this the one in Wollongong? Either way, maybe take it back to the dealer; though if they're not Renault dealers (and even if they are) they've probably got no idea. There are recommended mechanics in Sydney and Melbourne, I'd suggest doing this before the 3 month dealer warranty expires regardless. Also I've no idea what those noises are, so if you're nearby you're welcome to drive mine and see if it's the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibby55 Posted 15, February 2018 Author Report Share Posted 15, February 2018 Thanks mate. I have got in touch with Renault essendon who are hopeless and kept referring me back to the holden dealer i bought it from. I have just booked it in at Renault in Bundoora on the 16th march. Seems a lot more promising. Still got manufacturer warranty so hopefully should be good. Would be great if i could grab the names of those mechanics in melbourne aswell. Cheers.
