waso1234 Posted 7, August 2022 Report Share Posted 7, August 2022 Hi everyone I'm looking to purchase a 2014 clio rs200 edc and I'm wondering if there's anything I should look out for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 7, August 2022 Report Share Posted 7, August 2022 Main issue is, like any dct, the gear box. Do the usual drive and see if it's shuddering or hesitating. A pre purchase inspection is a must, but at a private recalls specialist. The dealers probably won't care or know enough. FYI it's basically a Nissan Juke turbo underneath so very reliable. Bizarrely on the Juke the accessory belt doesn't need changing but it is required in the Renault. Do you have a link to a car you're looking to inspect?

Deet Posted 8, August 2022 Report Share Posted 8, August 2022 How old is the battery? Has it got a good service history? Does it drive well? That covers 95% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove the car today actually and it does drive quite well, they are apparently replacing the module for the paddle shift at Renault. the manual selection from the gear stick works correctly goes into gear fine no shuddering Link : https://www.autotrader.co.za/car-for-sale/renault/clio/rs-200/26505810?vf=2&db=1&s360=0&so=1&pl=1&po=1 thank you for the quick reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
