Renault Frequently asked questions

View all Renault FAQs
My 2015 Renault Captur has an error message that reads: "Steering wheel locked. Turn steering wheel and start car".

From what I can gather, this era of Renault uses an electronic steering lock unit which physically locks the steering column when the car is not being driven. But this unit can fail and refuse to either unlock, or will unlock but fail to send a message to the car’s computer that it is unlocked. At which point, the car won’t start.

A lot of Renault owners overseas fit what’s called a steering lock emulator, a small electronic device which takes over communication to the computer. The emulator sends the `unlock’ signal that the computer needs to allow the car to start, and away you go.

The catch is the emulator sometimes means the steering now won’t lock at all, so your insurance company might have a bit to say about this. But at a lot less than the $3000 you previously paid to fix the same problem, it’s clearly a tempting path to take.

My 2016 Renault Koleos CVT needs replacing

The best place to start for some professional advice is a transmission specialist. They’ll probably inspect the transmission in your car and will be able to work out whether it can be fixed or if it needs to be replaced.

If you do need a replacement CVT, there are three main ways to go. You could buy a brand new replacement CVT which is likely to be the most expensive course of action. The second alternative is to have the transmission shop recondition the one you already have. This will also be quite expensive.

The third option is to find a good, tested second-hand CVT from a wrecked Koleos and have that fitted. This will be by far the cheapest way to go. But the gamble with option three is that the same problems might happen again, and you’d be back to square one.

I agree that a 2016 model-year car is too new to be thrown away, but failures of CVT transmissions are more common than they should be. It’s something car makers need to look at when they consider future designs and engineering.

Why is my 2013 Renault Clio acting like it's full at the fuel bowser when it isn't?

This is a more common problem than you might imagine. Because air has to escape the fuel tank to allow the fuel in, you can sometimes achieve what is pretty much an air lock when the nozzle prevents the air getting out fast enough. Either that, or the fuel filler neck is shaped so that it splashes the fuel back against the pump nozzle, making the sensor in the nozzle think the tank is full.

Some cars will be fine on some pumps and not others, while some cars are just generally a pain to fill. Yet other cars will be fine on a flat surface, but won’t fill properly on any sort of an angle or slope.

The best trick to try is to insert the nozzle into the filler neck and then turn it 90 degrees. This has the effect of directing the fuel spray somewhere other than straight back up the nozzle’s spout and triggering the pump’s shut-off mechanism. The other thing to try is to pull the trigger on the nozzle, but not all the way. That can sometimes slow the flow enough to prevent the shut-off. If that doesn’t work, you’re stuck with trickling the fuel in very slowly to avoid the pump shutting off.
