Problems with Clio transmission?
We haven't had any specific complaints about the transmission in the Renault, but no dual-clutch auto should be above suspicion. Getrag supplies transmissions to many carmakers, Renault included. The troublesome Ford PowerShift transmission is also a Getrag product.
Why are clutches regarded as wear and tear items?
There is no inconsistency. The clutch in a regular manual car is operated and controlled by the driver but the clutch pack in a double-clutch setup such as those used by Ford, Renault and Volkswagen is controlled by the car's computer. So any wear or damage in a double-clutch is a fault in the car and not down to the driver.
Leaking brake fluid in Clio
Emily Fadayev of Renault Australia replies: "We have carried out extensive testing since the repair work was completed and have been unable to reproduce his concerns. This is the first case we've encountered so we've contacted head office. Our customer service team are remaining in constant contact with Glen as it is our desire to resolve this for him as soon as possible."
Renault steps in
Renault spokeswoman, Emily Fadeyev, says: "The brake fluid leaking in Mr Gibson's Clio is not the normal operation of a Clio. Our head office customer service team have been in contact with Mr Gibson since we became aware of this issue and we've asked him to take his vehicle to the nearest dealership so they can investigate what is happening with his car. The dealer has been advised to ensure Mr Gibson has a loan car so he isn't inconvenienced further".
