I had the same issue in my Verna and my clutch master cylinder went kaput after sometime. Infact, when it failed I used to put the car in second gear (in switched off postion)) and start the car and drive it as I could not change gears went to service station that way.

Hi All, My 2014 Duster AWD warranty is getting expired this month (2+2 years). Has anyone tried the Renault Anytime Warranty? It comes to 17k for two years. Is this worth it? I have done 36K kilometers and the car hasn't developed any issues till now. It is driving like a dream for now. I am worried that if it's waiting the warranty to get over

Any extended warranty should be taken as chances of things going kaput increases with time. The stress on components rises and few things have a shelf life. I myself got an year's extended warranty for 17K on my Scorpio 4WD and my Scorpio too has proven to be as reliable as Japs in its 4 years and 70,000 kms.

Please buy the extended warranty, you have driven very less in 4 years, but it does not guarantee any less service expenses in future.

I went ahead and extended it today. It actually came to 18k for 1 year. That much for some peace of mind! The service adviser was not very keen on selling the warranty. He kept on saying that the vehicle would be fine if you do the maintenance on time etc. Not sure if it was a genuine concern or a clever business foresight.

BHPians, I got another problem, but this time with the My Renault India App.

The app was working fine, but when I logged after some days, the message popped up saying that my registered mobile number is changed to some other number. As the other number first 5 digits were masked I could not get whose number has this been updated to.

I called one of the service centers where I got my Dusty serviced (Renault Whitefield), but they confirmed that my number is same as previous one (my original number) and there is no change.

I tried uninstalling and installing the app, but it shows me the same message. Has anybody faced that issue?

Cheers!

Checked with SA in the last service and they told it would be resolved with service but the problem still persists. It’s very random and difficult to reproduce. Also I’ve a bit of shuddering effect in 1st gear and that also is random.

The car has run around 30k and mostly in Bangalore traffic.

Anybody faced the same issue and have pointer ?

30k is too less for clutch wear, gear getting stuck is either synchroniser ring or master clutch cylinder. If gear is stuck vehicle switched off then it's definately master clutch cylinder, I changed mine a few days back for 6.3k (rs 5.85k genuine Renault replacement part +Rs 500 labour) at my FNG.

Hello, my AWD is finishing 4 years soon and has run only 29k. I went for the service yesterday and the SA was recommending me to go for the 5th year extended warranty (its called any time warranty?). Any warranty extension makes a lot of sense but whats covered and what isnt? He wasnt very forthcoming on this. Has anybody taken this?
thanks!

I am also not very sure if this has to be clutch issue. The problem is it’s very random and I am not seeing the issue now . Drove last week in Bangalore in bumper to bumper traffic and never had this issue. But had the gear getting stuck to 1st gear two three times during a recent trip to Kerala. So I am planning to wait for some more time and if the issue persists, then will give Ito service centre.

Equus, it is advisable to go for the fifth year extended warranty. The big advantage is free roadside assistance and some of the parts are covered; however the clutch, shocks, glass items are not covered.

Can you please explain with the help of a picture. I had a problem with a stuck door latch which was solved quickly.

In your case it will be the Anytime Warranty that is only available on a per year basis (1 year or 20,000 KM) and can be renewed yearly upto 7 years or upto 1 Lac Kilometers , whichever is earlier. The warranty is transferable to a new owner on resale.

What is covered can be found here, while the prices can be found here.

During a recent drive I again found the gear getting stuck in 1st. I have a trip planned during year end to Kerala so to be on safer side, I gave the car to Renault service centre in Silk Board. Initially they did some road test and said this might be the clutch issue because of shuddering and they need to open the gear box to confirm on the same.

I insisted them to check on the master slave cylinder or the synchroniser as this is common issue in 85PS duster. Today I got a call saying the clutch kit needs to be replaced. They have sent the pics as well of the clutch. I could see that there is some wear out on the surface as seen in the below picture. So looking at the pics, does it look like a clutch plate wear out and do I go ahead with replacing the same ?
