Post by: The Dave on 07 July 2010, 00:42: I'd prob do it to sell it and buy summat else. Surely got be worth more than your MK4 (unfortunately) and thus easier sell.

Post by: Hulmie on 07 July 2010, 08:50: bloke at work has one of these, owned it for 4 weeks and within that time has needed driveshaft replacing, inner CV Boot, turbo oil line.

By the sounds of it they just aint built strong enough for the power there programmed for. Plus if your still running 230+bhp and 260+lb/ft torque yours will be quicker.

I'd still be wary, the Renaults are quick and handle well but reliability is appalling. Where I work has discount on Renaults so a lot of my colleagues have them, I wish I had a quid every time one of them is late or doesn't make it in at all due to car issues....

Post by: DarkGti on 07 July 2010, 11:48: dont start me on reliability, mk4s have got to be the most unreliable on the market, but they look sexy as fook :undecided: :undecided:
