Renault Fluence
In general, minuses of Renault Flyuens are the opposite side of his advantages. Buying relatively cheap (from 579,000 rubles at the beginning of November) a large spacious car, the owner expects the quality of its interior and the dynamics will correspond to the size. However, despite its 4618 mm length, there are no super-power engines in the engine line, and the interior decoration does not affect the imagination. Also, Fluence, like any other model, there are constructive disadvantages and weaknesses, such as massive loops of the trunk and wipers, scratching windshield. But, about everything in order - below shows the squeezing from the reviews of the owners on the topic of flaws.
Immediately it should be noted that high-speed lovers will be disappointed with the capabilities of the model, as the 1.6-liter sedan engine is weak for racing. It is especially felt by his slowness during the completion of overtaking when moving along the highway. In the city, this deficiency is leveled.
A significant minus is the behavior of the car in winter. In 30-degree frosts, the engine does not start at all, so you have to look for alternative versions of movement.
In a car equipped with a mechanical gearbox, there are often problems with the inclusion of the rear velocity. This requires an effort, and more than once. The equipment with the "machine" also does not cause delight, since explicit inhibition is traced in the box.
Causes discontent drivers and strong noise appearing in the cabin when moving the car at high speed, as well as at the entrance to the sections with a damaged asphalt coating. The reason for this may be like insufficient body insulation of the body and the budget Bridgestone Turanza, selected by the manufacturer for the factory configuration of the sedan. In addition to noise, this tires also keeps the road well.
Because of the big front racks, the review worsens, so the driver has to be thrilled and very actively to assess the situation on the road. Melomanov is waiting for chagrin, as the staff "music" does not meet modern ideas about the quality of sound. Therefore, it is necessary to order installation for the additional charge of a higher-quality audio system that has an extended number of useful functions.
Salon is decorated with cheap materials. It is not distinguished by the delights and the finish of the torpedo. The driver's seat does not have lumbar and lateral stops, which prevents getting in a chair with comfort. Adds inconvenience unregulated on the corner of the head restraint and too small armrest. The backrest of a driver's seat does not go down in a smooth floor, creating a hill in the lower back area.
The hard opening of the doors is due to fuzzy closers. And the doors in some cars can rattle due to torn, hanging waves, insulating gum. You can safely refer to dealers to eliminate the factory marriage. We will have to accept the "crickets" manifested in the doorway, under the front panel, somewhere on the ceiling.
The large volume of the luggage compartment is an undoubted plus of Reno Fluence. However, massive trunk loops take the useful space inside. The opening of the trunk is not provided directly from the cabin.
Many claims are presented to janitor who, after several thousand runs, begin to scratch the windshield. Guarantees are not provided. The lack of heating of janitors adds problems in the winter.
There are cases of burning of near-light lamps from cars, "fallen" 30,000 km. At the same time, the independent replacement of lamps is difficult, especially the one that is located on the left. You can get to it only after dismantling the battery.
The minuses include recommendations on the replacement of oil, which must be held every 7500 km of run. High maintenance costs after a run of 15,000 km, which constitutes about 10 thousand rubles. For comparison for Mazda 6 service and Ford Mondeo take only 6 thousand rubles. Two more times more expensive will cost it-60, for which Renault dealers require 23 thousand rubles.
Requires accuracy when driving and parking, as Renault fluence paint coating is quite gentle. If you wish to sell or change the car, problems with sales are possible, because in the secondary market, this model is not particularly in demand.

RENAULT FLUENCE (Renault Flyens - A pretty fresh model that came to shift in the body of the sedan. Initially, Fluence was conceived as a budget car for individual markets in Eastern Europe and Asia, which differs from competitors with their practicality and efficiency. For almost a decade, the Renault Golf Class Card Business Card was extravagant or at least a fairly recognizable design, smoothness, a high level of comfort, good equipment and a worthy level of reliability. But as far as the last item is appropriate to apply precisely to the specified model, we will try to find out in this article.

Sores, problem places and disadvantages of Renault Fluence with mileage
Body:
LCP - Unlike most modern cars, Renault Fluence has a good quality of paintwork, which resistant tolerates everyday use. Despite these, certain problems here are still there. The most problems are delivered by plastic elements of the body, from which after a pair of winters begins to climb the varnish. Door openings are also problematic. If they are not saved by a protective film, in places of contact with the gum of the door seals with the body, with time, the paint is wiping to metal. On some copies, the trunk lid may begin to wipe the paint coating of the rear bumper.
Chromium On the company emblem, the lining of the radiator lattice and fog, the winter operation is quite painful, especially in those cities where roads sprinkle with reagents - turbulent, is swept away, and then regain.
Body iron - Metal body elements like chrome painfully transfers a meeting with chemicals, because of this, on the body of auto-operated in megalopolises over the years, rust foci appear. The fastest rust is striking the seats of paint, thresholds, hood and wheeled arches. Also, you should not leave the niche under the windshield, spars, the joint of the spars and the engine shield, and the loop of the bottom, since these places are not galvanized and with time they can start rust. Despite this, at the moment, there are no serious complaints of the corrosion resistance at the body of Fluence.
Windshoe glass - can burst with a sharp drop of temperature, for example, when the glass heating is turned on in a heavy frost. Experienced owners of Renault Fluence, recommend turning on glass heating only after the cabin warms up a bit. On the machines equipped with a rain sensor, when replacing the glass, it is recommended to install a new sensor. The fact is that the use of an old sensor is high like the appearance of air bubbles under the lens, which often lead to the incorrect operation of the sensor.
Doors - Over time, lubricant follows from the locks and they begin to creak, besides, their terminivics are not distinguished by their reliability. Also, it is also possible to include the opening limiters for problem areas (by 60-80 thousand km of mileage erasing rollers), loops of the trunk and rear doors (satellite).
Brushes wiper Bayonet ARM have their own mount, so it's not worth counting on a cheap replacement.
Protection bottom - When driving at puddles, the protective screen is pressed to the exhaust pipe, after which it may begin to publish foreign sounds when driving through UHUBAM.
Weak places of power units
K4.M.
This motor is well-known domestic services, since various modifications are successfully applied since 1999 on many Renault models.
Phase regulator - In most cases, it is surrendered after 100-120 thousand km of mileage, so with each second replacement of the timing belt, it is recommended to change the phase management. Symptoms - the engine operation is accompanied by a characteristic crackle. If you tighten with the elimination of the breakdown, the dynamic engine indicators will begin to deteriorate over time.
Gas distribution mechanism - Cramp of the timing belt in this motor in 99% of cases ends with overhaul (valve growth), so many servicemen and owners strongly recommend changing videos and belt times at 60 thousand km.
Difficult start - The problem is a feature of this engine. Most often appears after a long parking and with the arrival of cold weather. To correct the situation in some cases, it is possible to replace the candles and cleaning the throttle. Also, poor-quality gasoline, a malfunction of the retractor relay or one of the starter fuses may also cause.
Unstable work - There are often the complaints of the owners of the car with the engine of the K4M series on such problems as floating turnover and "Troy". Often the culprits of incorrect engine operation are the ignition coil, nozzles or spark plugs. In machines with solid mileage, when the first symptoms appear, it will not be superfluous to check the compression.
H4M.
This engine was produced by Nissan and the sign of the Japanese brand fans like HR16DE. This unit is a classic representative of the Japanese School of Engineering, which uses an aluminum GBC, the chain drive of the timing and a phase management on the inlet, and electronic injection with two nozzles per cylinder. The main disadvantage of the motor is the absence of hydrocomsators, due to which the thermal adjustment of the valves is periodically required (once in 80-100 thousand km, when working on Gas every 40-50 thousand km). It is worth noting that the motor is not demanding to the quality of gasoline, with the recommended 95th you can pour 92th.
JOROR oil - This problem appears on mileage 120-150 thousand km. The reason, as a rule, is one - oil-chained rings in frequent and long trips on low revs.
GRM- Despite the fact that the metallic chain is installed in the motor, the node cannot be called eternal. Often, the chain is already stretched to 120000 km and needs to be replaced.
Problems from launch - The peculiarity of the engine, which in most cases manifests itself with the passage of cold. In addition, this unit does not like to work in a strong frost and can periodically chop. Fix a bit of the situation will help installing new spark plugs and a gas pedal squeezed during startup.
Relay blok ignition - It is a problem detail that can fail at any time. Symptoms - the machine suddenly stalls (maybe on the go) and no longer starts.
Vibration - In most cases, the problem is caused by strong wear of one of the engine supports. Most often it is required to replace the right support.
Exhaust system - Here is a fairly common problem is the start of the gasket of the muffler's reception tube. Because of this, a loud growling sound appears on the turns above the average.
Whistling (pick) - The reason for the appearance of an unpleasant sound is a generator belt. Eliminate the problem sometimes helps the belt suspender, and sometimes only replacement.
Resource - 250-300 thousand km.
M4R.
This engine was developed by Japanese engineers in the past decade and no outstanding technologies possesses. In the motor, a system for changing the phases of gas distribution on the intake shaft is applied, but it does not have hydrocompensators, so when foreign sounds occurs, the valves must be adjusted.
Replacement candles - It is necessary to carry out this work using a dynamometric key, since the excess of the permissible load during a tightening, as a rule, leads to the appearance of cracks on the thread, followed by damage to the cooling shirt and the antifreeze in the combustion chamber, after which the block head can be thrown. Candles are changed only on a cold motor, the force of tightening should not exceed 15-20 Hm.
Increased consumption oil - This ailment is observed on a car with a mileage of more than 100,000 km. Causes: accumulation of a large amount of nagar in cylinders or strong wear of the oil-challenge caps.
GRM - Despite the fact that a metal chain is installed in the gas distribution mechanism, it is difficult to call this node, since already at 100-150 thousand km of mileage, it may be necessary to replace the chain due to its stretching. Symptoms - Deliemp, float turns, power loss.
Turns Xx - The problem with the unstable engine turnover torments many owners, although it is enough to clean the throttle to remove it.
Overheat - With the arrival of heat, you need to closely monitor the cooling system and the temperature of the engine, since this internal combustion is painfully transfers overheating. Even a minor deviation from the norm can end the unnecessary repair of the unit - leads "head".
Electrician - In a severe heat, the DMRV thermistor can begin to get used, which is responsible for the amount of fuel supply, as a result of which the motor loses power.
Resource - About 350000 km.
Diesel motors Renault Fluence
K9k. - All motors are equipped with a COMMON Rail type power system, but depending on the power and year of release, there has fuel equipment from different manufacturers from 65 to 90 hp - Delphi (in Euro 5 version - Bosch), from 90 to 110 hp - Siemens (after 2007 Continental). The TRM drive is installed with a belt that needs to be changed every 60,000 km.
Fuel equipment - If you refuel ABE than, it can be enough to fail the TNVD and the nozzles, and the worse the quality of the diesel fuel, the less their resource will be. Especially painfully tolerates work on the "Badgy" Soynaire Delphi equipment. If you do not change the nozzles for a long time, everything can end the dispensary of the pistons.
Rolling inserts crankshaft - With untimely maintenance (oil change), the capacity of the oil pump is reduced, and due to lack of lubrication can be checked. The problem manifests itself closer to 150,000 km. To protect yourself from possible troubles after buying a used car inserts, it is better to replace immediately.
TNVD - Over time, it can begin to drive a metal chips, which scores the fuel line, nozzles and tank. If you have a problem, the engine will work unstable (Troit, float turns, stalls). Treatment - replacement of all the above equipment.
Turbine - often does not get 100,000 km. The reason - in the bearing rotor sleeves, the wear of the crankshaft wear are available, which leads to the appearance of the development and failure of the node.
Electrician - Digital pressure and crankshaft position sensors are short-lived.
Possible expenses - When buying a car with a motor working on heavy fuel, you need to be ready to replace the valve of the USR and the particulate filter.
Resource - With timely and most importantly, quality service will last 350-400 thousand km.
Disadvantages of transmissions
From the first days of sales for Renault Fluence, 5 and 6-step mechanics, 4-speed automatic and a stepless Jatco variator, installed only in a pair with a two-liter engine were offered to choose from buyers. After restyling, the variator began to recruit and auto with 1.6 liters motors.
Mechanics
The mechanical gearbox is reliable and extremely rarely documented by serious breakdowns to its owners. From the weaknesses here you can select the bearings of the shafts, which often begin to make noise after 100,000 km, but, as a rule, this ailment does not affect the performance of the box and does not require emergency intervention. Also, the disadvantages include the unreliability of the main cylinder of the clutch and the release bearing. Often, 90000 km is required to replace them. On the car of the first years of release, the owners often encountered such a nuisance as the appearance of jerks after a long movement in the tint. The exact reason for the illness is unknown, but to eliminate it had to change the clutch kit. However, after replacement, the problem often occurred again. The clutch resource in most cases exceeds 100,000 km of run. If, with the arrival of cold, the gear lever began to go tight, then it's time to lubricate the transmission cable (only replacement will help in running cases).
Automatic
The reliability of the machine large depends on the operating conditions and timely service. So, for example, with an aggressive manner of driving, the box repair may be required after the first hundreds of thousands of mileage kilometers. The disadvantages of this transmission include the absence of a temperature sensor of the working fluid, a rigid connection of the GTR (part of the automatic transmission conditionally performing the clutch role) and the unreliability of the hydroblock. Due to the fact that engineers provided for cooling oil only a small heat exchanger, in the warm season the box is often overheated, thereby decreasing its service life. Also distressed are regulating electrohydraulic valves and solenoids. It breaks in them not a mechanical part, but an electrician, and to blame for this same overheating.
The operational disadvantages of the machine can be attributed to the gears during the shift, appearing in the first years of the car (after 20,000 km). In most cases, this trouble is caused by improper operation of the electronic pressure modulation valve, the replacement of which costs 200-400 cu On a car whose mileage passed for 150000 km, the pressure sensor may produce incorrect data, need to replace the turbine shaft bushings, and there appear on the bearings of the sliding and the filter is critically clogged. According to the manufacturer's applicants, the working fluid in the box is designed for the entire service life of the CAT, but experienced servicemen recommend changing it as often as possible: once every 30-50 thousand km. The advantages of transmission include ease of design, good maintainability, a large selection of spare parts and repair kits.
Variable speed drive
Like the automatic transmission, the service life of the variator largely depends on the intervals of the receipt. The feature of the work of this unit is the constant friction of metal parts by each other, which is formed a large amount of metal chips, which the transmission fluid spreads throughout the box, withdrawing its nodes. In the cold season, while the transmission does not completely warm up, it is better to refrain from a dynamic ride, since such exploitation leads to accelerated wear of the cones and chains. Closer to 100,000 km of mileage, as a rule, on low revs (900-1500), you can hear foreign sounds (creak, grinding). The reason is the provisis belt. To resolve the problem, you will need to update the firmware of the control unit.
On the same mileage, it may be necessary to replace the pump reduction valve (jerks appear), the solar gear of the planetary transmission (auto can only move on the rear gear) and the step motor responsible for adjusting the gear ratio. It is also worth noting the unreliability of the bearing of the variator. As a rule, the first is the bearing, which sits on the entrance shaft, then the chain is broken and all others. When the gul appears, it is necessary to contact the service as quickly as possible, in which case there is a chance that everything will be replaced by only one bearing. If you drive for a long time with the enters the shaft, the shafts bother and the variator end. Despite the large number of possible problems with proper care and careful operation, the variator can live without repair about 200,000 km.
Reliability of suspension, brakes and steering Renault Fluence
The Renault Fluence was based on the Renailt-Nissan platform, which has a semi-dependent suspension - MacPherson stand ahead, rearly twisted beam. Auto Turkish assembly possess meager, for our operating conditions, clearance (125 mm, in Russian by 40 mm more). If you have a significant drawback for you, you can eliminate it by installing the rack from Renault Laguna with increased clearance. Another operational disadvantage is excessive noise of the suspension during the cold season - crepit, knocks, etc. If we talk about the reliability of the chassis, then there are no significant comments to the resource of its main elements. The only thing that here can be noted as a problem suspension place is the poor quality of the original shock absorbers' anthers - can begin to settle after 20-30 thousand km of run. Experienced owners of Flyuens eliminate this lack of establishing anthers from the VAZ "dozens", the bumps are suitable from the "eight".
Middle Resource Renault Fluence Pendant:
- Stabilizer bushings - 40-60 thousand km;
- Stabilizer racks - up to 100,000 km;
- Ball supports - 100-120 thousand km (coming assembly with levers);
- Shock absorbers - 100-150 thousand km;
- Silent blocks of levers - 120-150 thousand km;
- The wheel bearings are about 150000 km;
- There are no complaints to the rear beam, the replacement of silent blocks, due to wear, is extremely rare, as a rule, the repair of the node is carried out only after serious accidents.
Steering and brakes
The steering has a lathe mechanism with an electric powerful, the reliability of which the domestic motorists there are no complaints. The first problems appear closer to 150,000 km - the plastic sleeve is broken, after which the rake begins to knock. Also, the cause of the appearance of the knocks during the movement may be the appearance of production in the slotted connection (when driving around the uneven road can be given in the steering wheel).
There are no complaints and the reliability of the brake system. The front brake pads usually grabs 50-60 thousand km, rear to 70-90 thousand km. Brake discs are traditionally walking together longer. The cost of replacing the rear disks is becoming unpleasant surprises, the fact is that they are made as one whole with the hub and are not suiced. On the car equipped with a double-liter engine with the arrival of frosts, the valve of the vacuum hose is frozen, because of which the pedal can stop pressing. To protect yourself from this problem, it is recommended to wear a heat-insulating casing for the hose.
Problem places of salon and electricians
When developing the interior of Renault Fluence, special attention was paid to the quality of finishing materials. The front panel is almost completely made of soft, foamed polysthelene with skin texture. From it are made and doors cards. Stylistically, as in detail, the design of the fluence repeats the lagoon salon. French devices are placed on odd dozens, it is associated with high-speed limitations in France (city 50, the route is 130 km / h). The only thing that the interior is often criticized is the goats, which is covered with the steering wheel and the sidewalls of the chairs - quickly wipes, cracks. Also, some owners note that the left foot frowns in winter. It is worth noting that this nuisance is inherent in other models of the Renault brand. To eliminate the lack you need to close the slots between the duct nozzles.
If we talk about the reliability of the electronics salon Renault Fluence, then, first of all, it is worth noting the modest resource of the stove motor - about 100,000 km. In independence, what kind of elimination method will choose (repair, replacement). Preparing more than 100 cu. Also should not count on the trouble-free operation of the temperature sensor. In most cases, the sensor failure is the main cause of the incorrect work of the climate system. Another weak point is the connectors connecting the equipment - due to poor contacts can collect an audio system (the settings are automatically reset, the sound and display is turned off). Also, minor failures in the operation of electronics can be caused by a weak charge of the battery or a bad contact on its terminals.
What in the end:
RENAULT FLUENCE is reliable and, at the same time, inexpensive in service with a family car with excellent driving characteristics. Answer definitely to the question whether to buy fluence in the secondary market is quite difficult, since in this price range there are a lot of no less interesting offers, so it all depends on what tasks will be delivered to him.
If you have an experience of operating Renault Fluence, please tell us with any problems and difficulties you had to face. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.
"I'm going to Russia for cars. Tell me, please, to pay attention to when buying Renault Fluence 1.6 CVT 2013. (Restyling)? What are the features of inspection when buying a used car with a variator? Could the accident might affect the condition of the variator? "
WHAT IS RENAULT FLUENCE, including in terms of Second Hand, we. But then it was about the model released to restyling, while the version of interest to our reader has certain differences in terms of motor and transmission. On them and stop.
Let's start with the power row. Since we are talking about the car for the Russian market and with the variator, the choice will be reduced to two versions: 1.6 (114 hp) and 2.0 (138 hp). Both engines are well known on the model ... Nissan Qashqai! Yes, yes, everything is true: 2.0-liter motor is M4R / MR20DE, and 1,6-liter for modification with a variator - H4M / HR16DE (for version with MCP, you have kept "Renicious" K4M with a capacity of 106 hp) . Although the engines are considered "Nissanovsky", but are installed on many models of the Renault-Nissan alliance.
Since we are talking about buying a pretty "fresh" car, about the residual motor resource you can not particularly worry: global problems are not marked, although minor questions can already be. So, the engines though simple, but demanding of the fuel quality. For example, over time, it may be necessary to flush the throttle and fuel injectors.
Both engines have a timing chain drive, which eliminates the mandatory replacement of the kit immediately after the purchase of a used car, but does not guarantee at all that this operation does not have to spend money in a more or less foreseeable future. The problem is that the chain can stretch with 120-150 thousand miles.
There are nuances and with motor service. On a 1.6-liter, the replacement of the candles will require a dismantling of the throttle node and the plastic intake manifold, which complicates (and increases the cost) ordinary, in general, operation. On a 2.0-liter version, everything is easier, but the devil lies in the trifles: it is important to strictly observe the moment of tightening new candles, otherwise there is a risk of "getting" to repair, and even the replacement of the CFC!
However, the main attention when buying should still be given to transmissions. The FLUENCE is installed an adaptive X-Tronic variator (Jatco JF011E) with the possibility of manual switching of six fixed gear ratios. What is this unit, we, so here we give only the highlights.
First of all, this is the most important thing, experts assess the service life of this variator in the region of 200-250 thousand km. To the number of typical problems of Jatco JF011E, it is possible to rank premature wear of the pulleys and their bearings, a malfunction of the oil pump reduction valve, as well as a step motor responsible for adjusting the gear ratio. Reloing the moment of non-renovated repair may be a neat driving style, eliminating a sharp change in speed (acceleration and deceleration), as well as timely maintenance of the variator in accordance with the prescriptions of the manufacturer.
In the situation described in the letter of our reader (a three-year-old car from Russia is considered to buy, we recommend only those options that have minimal mileage and documented service history. In particular, it is possible to consider cars for the TRADE in official dealers.
Features of inspection and purchase are exactly the same as in the case of automatic transmission: with an external inspection we are convinced that there are no drips on the case of the variator, during a test trip, we draw attention to the operation of the transmission (alarming signs - extraneous sounds, hum, twrenches, jolts, delay when Change the speed or movement mode). We also strongly recommend thorough diagnosis from specialists.
Can they influence the condition of the variator of an accident? Theoretically - yes. Thus, the transmission can obtain mechanical damage at the moment of impact, and it is not at all necessary that the body will have some traces (for example, cracks or the same oils), because the shock load can be transmitted, for example, through drive shafts. In addition, the work of the box can affect the damage to the wiring: there are not so rare cases when due to the impact due to the interrupt loop, there are failures in the operation of the power unit. In general, certain problems are possible, but they depend on the nature of the damage to the car and the forces that influenced it at the time of the accident. Not knowing all circumstances, make a forecast difficult. But if the car received damage to the front of the front part and the suspension in particular, this is a serious reason to draw attention to the transmission.

Renault fluence is a compact car created by Renault. The car was on the market in 2009, replacing outdated Renault Megan. Fluences has a base of Nissan C, which relates it not only with Renault Megane, but also with Renault Scenic.
In 2010, the car fell to the Russian market and immediately won a niche of budget sedans. Updated in 2012, the model secured this success. However, there is nothing perfect. Like any car, Renault Flyuens has a number of shortcomings, as well as characteristic breakdowns and sores. This material is devoted to this material. If you are planning to buy a car and want to know "pitfalls" in advance, then this article is for you.
Car malfunctions
Many drawbacks of the car are due to its relatively low cost. In an effort to reduce the cost of the machine, the manufacturer preferences not the most expensive materials.
The first problems of Renault Flyuens are noticeable already when opening the doors. Their hard move is explained by the fuzzy work of the closers. Some doors can make a strong stray. This is due to damage to the insulating stub on the doors. The breakdown can be determined visually, over a hanging wave of rubber band.
For "treatment" you can contact the official dealer, since the cause of this breakdown is a factory marriage. However, with numerous crickets, most likely, have to come to terms. Foreign sounds you can hear in the door, front panel, from under the floor and racks.
Renault fluence can be attributed to the work of janitors. After some time, they begin to scratch the glass, which delivers a lot of inconvenience. At the same time, their warranty is not provided. There are often cases of relatively fast burning of Middle Lights (approximately 30 thousand kilometers).
The inconvenience delivers the fact that due to the design features, replace the left lamp is quite difficult. Previously you will have to remove the battery.
Another very unpleasant fact is the fast expressing oil for the engine. Replacement, even according to official information from one, should be made every 7.5 thousand kilometers.
Also because of the choice of inexpensive materials, the driver should be extremely neat. The car has a delicate paintwork, which is very easy to scratch and is damaged.
Problems solved at the dealer
- Often, the coating is often very crackdown on the steering wheel. This problem is solved under warranty.
- Also, guarantees can be corrected another breakdown: in some models, a different gap between the doors of the car is possible.
- Frames with a clock heating button. To fix its sticking (or departure), go to the official dealer - this is a warranty case.
- Problems and with a regular radio tape recorder are happening. When you try to read the CD, the disk appears an error, and the disk is "spin" from the drive. This is a warranty case.
- Some models may experience difficulties with the engine start during medium cold: at -15 and below. If the machine is new, the battery is in charge and oil is flooded, then you need to contact the official dealer, which most likely will provide you with a car for replacement.
- Some owners complained about problems when moving and operating a car with a trajectory. In this case, you must access the official dealer to adjust the angles of the wheel installation.
What can I solve yourself
- The majority of the owners are familiar to the situation when the thermal screen at the silencer begins after arrival in the puddle. You can correct the problem yourself. Capped the machine on the pit, straighten the screen.
- There is a breakdown associated with an automatic box. In the machines during the slip, the signal lights up on the instrument panel. Try removing the terminals from the battery and connect again. If the error signal does not disappear, then something really broke.
- In some models, a cigarette lighter operating with a current of 10 amps (occurs rarely). Such cigarette lighters often burn out. Helps a replacement for 15 amp.
- Also in some circumstances the car can strongly "troit". In this case, you must try to change the refueling. It also helps such a way: you need to wait a few seconds in order to have the desired pressure in the fuel line.
Too frequent problem - twitching the car when the second transmission is turned on on an automatic transmission. Unfortunately, the causes of sores are unknown, most likely, this is a characteristic feature of the automatic transmission.
Of course, any machine has a number of damage characteristic of it. In some cases, this list is more, in some less. Unambiguously, it can be said that Renault fluence does not have serious faults, and those that are available in most cases are due to the low cost of the car.
The concept version of Fluences saw back in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show. But then under this name the company introduced a two-door car, which decorated the stand. Soon, this model turned into Laguna Coupe, and her name was decided to give a series of golf class sedans. What do they talk about "Renault Flyens"? Reviews, disadvantages, as well as detailed characteristics of this car, we will present in our today's review.
Exterior view of the car
Each new generation of cars is becoming all the most suitable. However, this model has a little more than a traditional golf class. If we speak a formal language, then yes, it is a golf class. It can be assumed that the model must change Megane, but the manufacturer declares that these are different models, and do not compare them. "Fluences" is a completely different car, and in classes it stands somewhere in the middle, between C and D.
There are grounds for this. You can simply measure the body dimensions. Thus, "fluence" has become longer by 12 cm, in the width of the body scored 3 cm. Compared to Megan, the new model is characterized by smooth and rounded lines. The body is more effectant if you consider it in detail, but many consider the appearance rather contradictory.
From the side and behind the car everything is fine. But what kind of principle did the front part, many did not understand. Designers tried to combine incompatible. It uses elements of various shapes. So, the "fog" - round, radiator grille - narrow, air intake corners - oval, headlights - pointed up. The company's emblem has almost the same size as the headlight. But some kind of kind like it is a new corporate style, which is called "European". The car looks great in white color - only it can very clearly emphasize all body lines. Take a look like the car "Renault Flyens". Owners, photos, pros and cons read below.
Some car enthusiasts call this design somewhat simple and suitable for family people who are very valued solidity and practicality. Despite the discrepancy of opinions, one thing is clear - the design is not boring.
At first glance it seems that the body turned out to be very high quality. This French engineers managed to achieve thanks to reduced parts gaps, pleasant to the touch finish and other elements.
Body problems
According to the owners of the car "Renault Fluence", there are flaws on the body. But they are minor. This soft metal, massive loops of the trunk, wipers. There are also some nuances that are associated with visibility, but this is already flawed designers.
In pursuit of aerodynamic characteristics, the front racks were seriously filled. Because of this, visibility was significantly injured. On pedestrian crossings, you can often not see a person who quietly sneaks under the wheels. The same problem is observed when driving through the narrow streets of the yards. To see the grooves on the sides, it is necessary to climb on the torpedo. Since the back of the back, the visibility through the rear window is also not at the level.
Interior
There is enough free space in the cabin. The growth in the volume is well noticeable not only outside, although the interior layout in this model is made as a C-class. Chairs are pretty soft and comfortable. The adjustments are sufficient to ensure that the driver can get comfortably behind the steering wheel and does not beat his head about the ceiling. Steering wheel adjustments also abound. The driver's seat is so comfortable that there are practically no fatigue. And the sides, even in a long trip, do not register.
Let's say about the minuses of the car "Renault Flyens". Reviews of owners The deficiencies allocate the following: too tight knob adjustment knob on the chair. It can slip in the hand during rotation. Although it is very uncomfortable, but slightly. Tilt set up once.
Controls
If anyone from the car owners remembers the past interiors looked, then the changes are formal here. The lever of the checkpoint and its podium are decorated with chrome. The steering wheel is properly and stitched with white threads. But there is a car "Renault Flyuens" disadvantages of the interior, rather, controls. Owners note the presence of buttons on the steering wheel. These car enthusiasts have already noted in other models.
On the left side of the steering wheel are the cruise control authorities, which, by the way, is available only in the uppermost configuration. But the on the right is located unknown to nobody buttons B and Q, which are necessary to select the options of the side computer. If you analyze forums dedicated to cars of this manufacturer, then few people understand why these buttons. The dashboard for some reason did not touch. However, the color of the backlight was changed.
You can analyze information only at the wheel of the Renault Fluens car. Reviews of owners suggest that the flaws are noticed immediately. This is the lack of traditional already regulatory control bodies - to work with music now the car is completed with the R-LINK system, but it is installed only in the upper equipment, so it will be necessary to pay extra for it. Also, the owners unflatterly respond to the quality of sound in the standard radio - it does not correspond to today's ideas about how high-quality sound should be.
Like at home
Salon is felt fresh and expensive. For decorations used high-quality materials. Plastic is pretty soft and pleasant to the touch, no left-free or creaking details. Also in the cabin well worked on sound insulation. The car is completely thought out. It is really comfortable as at home, despite the minor omissions and flaws.
Specifications
Under the hood of "fluence" can be a gasoline or diesel engine. The new generation added a 1.6 liter unit for 115 liters. with. who works in a pair with a variator. Manufacturers declare a very low fuel consumption - only 6.4 liters in motion in a mixed cycle.

Despite the fact that diesel engines have characteristic noise and vibration, many are satisfied with low fuel consumption.
About shortcomings
What do they say about the car "Renault Flyuens" reviews of owners? Disadvantages are the reverse side of the advantages. It is a rather cheap, large and spacious machine. But for 579,000 rubles it is expected that the interior and dynamic characteristics will fully comply with the sizes.
Despite the length of 4168 mm, the line of power units is not offered something quite powerful, and the interior decoration, although the good one, but cannot hit the imagination. Here, as in any other car, there are a lot of different flaws.
Is it worth gaining "Renault Flyens"? Reviews of owners Disadvantages allow you to analyze as much as possible. And it helps to identify all weak points.
Weak dynamics
It must be said that for those who like speed, this car will not work. The engine is 1.6 liters just do not have such capabilities - it is frankly weak for high-speed races. Especially strongly the characteristics of the motor are felt on overtaking on the highway. In the city it is not so noticeable.
Work of transmissions
Serious minus - how this car behaves in winter. If on the street of Moroz -30 degrees, the car can be quite difficult to start. There are still problems with the operation of the transmission. In the case of mechanical gearbox, problems often occur with rear transmission.
For normal inclusion, it is required to make serious efforts. In Renault Fluens, there are also disadvantages of the variator too. The owners are told in one voice about the inhibited operation of the variator automatic transmission.
Soundproofing
Owned owners and strong noise, which appears in the cabin when moving at high speeds or on broken roads. But can the case in budget tires, which is equipped with a car from the plant? This is almost everything that can be said about the Renault Fluens model. Owners of the deficiencies, of course, detect, but if you exploit the car carefully and take into account that it is still a golf class, then some disadvantages can be closed eyes. In any case, everyone chooses himself, what car he likes more.
