[QUOTE="iceseeker, post: 183289, member: 6989"] Hi again thanks for the info from all of you! I have an update on the case with the strange sound. Yesterday I made a visit to yet another dealership of Renault and the mechanics there made an inspeciton. Their statement is that the noise is coming from the primary shaft of the box. They advised me to change the gearbox oil and that was it. Main engineer said to me that it was a sound to be expected and nothing new from a Renault or a Dacia. He asked me what's my yearly mileage/km cover which is around 7000 miles / 12 000 km and with that rate of driving it will run for 4-5 years with no problems and this advice was based on previous experience. To me that's a timebomb waiting to explode. When I asked them what's the price of the rebuild they quoted a sum of 3000 - 4000 BGN or 1500 - 2000 EUR with a new clutch kit. So the main quesiton for me is it worth it and when we add the potential week steering rack that is know to fail I doubt that I will keep the car for long. It's sad because in this short time I'm having tons of fun with the car - it's fast, handles pretty good and it gets good MPG everything I wanted from a daily driver but the downside is the maybe the reliability? Again thanks for the support! [/QUOTE]
