Question 1

Is the Renault EDC gearbox reliable?

Accepted Answer

It is generally sound when its oil and software are kept up to date. The six-speed dry-clutch EDC behind smaller engines is the one to test with care: judder or hesitation when pulling away from cold can mean worn clutches.

Question 2

Should I avoid an older Renault with the four-speed automatic?

Accepted Answer

Take care with it: the four-speed automatic of the Clio II and III, Mégane II and Scénic II, shared with Peugeot and Citroën as the AL4 or DP0, is known for faults at high mileage. Look for prompt, clean shifts and a record of oil changes.

Question 3

How does the Renault E-Tech hybrid gearbox work?

Accepted Answer

The E-Tech multi-mode gearbox has dog clutches and no conventional clutch, combining a petrol engine with two electric motors. The car pulls away on electric power and should shift without clunks.

Question 4

Which new Renaults have an automatic gearbox?

Accepted Answer

Every E-Tech full hybrid, from the Clio, Captur and Symbioz E-Tech 160 to the Austral, Espace and Rafale E-Tech 200, and every electric: the 5, 4, Twingo, Mégane, Scenic and Kangoo E-Tech. The Clio TCe 115, the Captur and Symbioz Mild Hybrid 140, the Austral Mild Hybrid 150 and the Kangoo come with EDC or an automatic too, as does the Trafic Blue dCi.
