| ![]() I recently bought a pre worshipped duster 85ps rxl optional 50k run, march 2015 manufactured. How to know the warranty status of the car? According to Team BHP official review of the duster, it comes with 4 years/80k kms standard warranty, which means it's still in the initial warranty period? Thanks |

| ![]() Best thing is to contact the Renault dealer in Coimbatore immediately and ask them for a solution. Somebody else may have the key and it is not safe to leave the vehicle with this possibility. |

| ![]() I just gave in my Duster for the 4th year service to and received a call from the service adviser telling me that the shockers need the oil replacement and that shocker mounts are damaged. I did not notice any noise in the vehicle until now.The vehicle is out of warranty now, and the odemeter shows 26212 Kms. Have been advised a charge of Rs. 16,000 to fix this. For now, I have asked him not to perform the replacement of mounts and oiling of the shockers because I feel that I may be better off in seeking a second opinion at another Renault workshop. What would you suggest? Should the shocker mounts be replaced from another Renault workshop or am I better off getting it checked and corrected an an outside garage. Again, I have not come across any noise, or jerk while driving yet. |

The dealer can deactivate the lost key so that it cannot start the vehicle. Later you can order a new key and add it in your UCH (body computer) using the diagnostic tester. | |

| ![]() Is it an AWD or 2WD model? I have ever heard Shock oil change story by ASC. They usually say the shocks have failed by seeing the oil leak out of the oil seals and their remedy has been to change the shock absorbers altogether. If he says they need an oil change I doubt what they are cooking now. How has he determined that the oil inside the shocks has gone bad? Is he going to get the shocks overhauled? Since when did Renault start being so cost conscious for the benefit of the customers? Advise you to take a second opinion. For a vehicle with 26k on the Odo I doubt if there is anything wrong with the suspension. You may rest in peace and check the tyre pressures for starters. Worst come worst, you can buy a set of Monroe (OEM replacement) shocks and VIR bushing/mount kits for all four corners for about 12K. PM me your number. Installation at a decent garage would cost about 2-4 K. so for the same amount of money you would have new suspension. |

Upon delivery of the serviced vehicle, the SA told me that there was a seepage of oil in the shockers. He had suggested complete replacement of shockers for an approximate work order value of Rs. 16,000. For now, I just politely asked him to desist from this work order and I will see if I run into any issues at a later day. I do not think there is a need for second opinion at this point of time. It's a 2WD model and I read your comment from within the workshop and asked the guy desist from replacement of shockers. If need be, I will get the shockers replaced at a trusted workshop. Thanks for your timely help; it did help in taking a quick decision. I took delivery of the vehicle and all is fine. No noise or rattles. Last edited by ampere : 23rd April 2018 at 06:52.

| ![]() I usually don't reply so soon, good to know it was of help to you. Your case seemed like a perfect example of fleecing a customer with such little mileage on the car. They do the same thing with the wheel bearings, be careful in the future. |

| ![]() If the shocks are leaking, needs replacement as it affects the stability, braking distance and uneven wear on the tyres. A failed shock wont give any sound. Do a bouncing test on the suspension and if it bounces more than 4 then most probably needs a replacement |

| ![]() I recently changed from Bridgestone to Michelin Primacy SUV. I feel that the road noise is a little louder than what the new Bridgestones made. Everything else is on par with the Bridgestones! wonder why the Michelins cost higher then? I hope they last longer with lesser punctures. |
