The reason again to choose this car although this time in white Bose execution i put extensively explained in my previous review

Since my first Renault Megane 1.5 Dci Eco2 Estate me is fine like (see revieuw Renault Megane Estate 1.5 Dci Bj2012 with 186500km), there is mid-February of this year a new one of the same make / model and engine delivered. Well, I got a little messed by car to license plates end of 2013 so that those 14% addition would still be guaranteed ... still a nice bonus in the cut is not it?

The reason again to choose this car although this time in white Bose execution i put extensively explained in my previous review. And I need to have to repeat this exercise again regret to admit. It remains a flavor-story of course, but as in white with black accents mirrors, rims and dark windows in the back, I think it licked listed, and find the car truly always be beautiful! I also really is not the idea of a car to drive in terms of looks and driving characteristics that already some years on the market. Indeed, the Megane is for all comparative tests taken in car magazines with newcomers from stable. OK, he sometimes can not 'winner' come out of the test, I can not say that he is trudging hobbled by red lantern on the finish line ...

The differences? The engine is tuned to a slightly lower operating temperature, so there is only one 'block' burning of the cooling water temperature. I'm still here asked the dealer if nothing / something was wrong, but it turned out to hear the case.
I also now black fabric instead of leather with bright accents. The chair is different, but no less in terms of comfort. I see no deterioration for that, and get just as happy after 1000km on one day out of the car, as in the previous Megane.
I have the impression that the car has become even a fraction quieter, but then you're really a minimal difference.
Bose performance is something "thinner" in his equipment over the execution privilege that I had before, but now say that I really missing something fundamental? No! Also Bose implementation interior I find no more successful. OK, you can quickly see dust or fingers on the shiny black inlays in the dashboard and gearshift surround, but I can live with that. In addition, he receives weekly laundry and vacuuming, so the car is never as packed with trash!
I also had the impression that this Megane slightly float hangs on the gas in the beginning, but that difference you need to feel almost ... you name it!

The parables consumption is almost the same, bose sound and navigators I still find a party, I get every day with lots of fun in-out of the car, I have been familiar dent back into the top of the door trim by my elbow, and this is the first Megane 30000 whistling accomplished without complaint 1 / beep / cracking or other mischief.

So we go back on for the next 30K and detail is there equal mention of it!
Sesame / Megane open U ... (37,000 km)Start your s' morning to the bakery, close the car clean off, you come back after two minutes, and push the button on your card to open the door .... and when nothing happened!
The car is just three months, I could not imagine that the battery of the card would be already now (with the previous Megane never had a problem) ... What I did, but no way the car opened.
Just when I wanted to call in the reinforcements, I happened to see it was carrying a man with a remote control of a large construction crane. Nothing special you might think, until the best man had finished his crane. I pushed more or less by accident again on the button to open the car ... and you get it all, my Megane was mine again! I / it had never heard / seen and after a chat with the crane driver appeared who never had this / hearing!
So Megane directors, still pay attention where you put your car! Are there any other car owners who know this phenomenon, in which brand / model too?
just lost! (52,500 km)Last week showed, happy avn end of the week, from one moment to the other once the navigation fails. The system was completely out, hung on a Bose soudsystem screen and he went out again etc etc. Just after a few seconds, stop the car and restart the radio off and on again, but alas ... the navi was out and stayed out ...
the garage anyway just called, and it would be a matter of resetting. The CD radio handsfree fortunately just work. Only natural zero display further, including your clock and outside temperature are no longer visible ... This morning taken away the car, and the end of the day he is ready again. It is not really dramatic, but I've never had with the previous Megane, so let's hope it stays at this one time. For this case, I will therefore still return no stars, but I like the course closely.
60K and hassle free holiday trip (60,000 km)Today, the car dropped off at the dealership for a 60K turn. I continue to report no complaints, and the dealer was nothing shocking encountered during the turn.
The Megane has given us and the boat trailer of 1300kg whistling back to Spain and brought back. No problem with the cooling consumption was on average between 10 and 11 liters / 100km with a cruising speed of 110-120km / h. On the way back we had strong crosswind from the Spanish / French border (Mistral) to Orange and in the Rhone valley, we had the wind to Lyon full on the nose. It has been my combination for a second out of balance in terms of stability, but it was obviously a bit in consumption. I really just extremely pleased how my ecotweetje again drew from this trip started. However 1300km rear seating for three young adults in the Megane, in the long run a more 'tight' affair. The voldende car maybe but again a little bit bigger ... ??
Uneventfully I give another update with 90000km.
Halftime, but no rest! (90,600 km)My Megane has in the past 8 months 90k finished, so we're back at half the lease contract. After last 60k in turn had been no reason to visit the dealer, so is the normal maintenance 90k back on the menu.
Last week I (thankfully !!!) my winter show put on it, and that week I was immediately treated to massive snowfall in Austria. 65000km after having driven with summer tires, I appeared before another 35% and back to have 55% of my profile, so even this Megane is extremely economical in consumption band. My driving style in combination with virtually only highway mileage are there also to blame, is clear. But still a result that the band farmer here (surprised) mention was that he had seen but little in his career.
Anyway, my car has no further strange antics exhibited in the last 30k, beyond that my radio there ceases spontaneously lately least once or three a week. OK, he's right then back to the navi restarts just etc but that can not be right! I have, moreover, never had with my previous Megane ... Also, if I bit longer in the car (2 hours or more ...), and I want a CD listening radio instead, he finds no number. The hourglass let me wait cheerful but music ... forget it. The CD then get out you can forget. At first I thought it was maybe a copied CD-tje, but later it turned out with an original new CD to be the same party (read no party ...). It would be according to the dealer a matter of "reprogramming" of the system. We'll see ...
But otherwise, well, I can only say still much fun steps every day in my white Bose Edition. Outside of that radio happen there as said nothing else to complain, so the dealer could not find anything else we go to 120000km.
The turn is over, the radio is again updated so would the failure problems should not come anymore. Furthermore, a rear shock slightly to 'sweat' but no reason to replace immediately. At the 120000km turn happens again.
radio / navi continues to fall ... (94,000 km)Unfortunately, despite the dealer at the last turn reset the radio / CD / navi / update did, it continues to happen to keep the same base perils. The CD player is as stubborn in the non-playing when I extended period of time in the car. So the dealer but called again, complaints have been reported again and again made a new appointment ... The only bright spot is that the twizzy again ready for me to drive me home ...
To be continued.
radio is replaced (95,000 km)Yesterday my Megane has all day been a guest at the dealership to track down the bug that spontaneously turn off my radio.
But unfortunately, it errors, but no solution. The dealer still had just called with the importer, who had thought that the failures were the result of an overheated phone ..... Huh ?? So I would sit with half a melted phone, and therefore my radio goes live his own life ??? the first is not the case, let that be clear!
The dealer took the story also pretty vague, so he's happy just decided to build a new radio. That's the next turn 120000km happen.
That theory does not practice ... (117.500 km)It should by now be well known that the more dazzling than consumption which are the manufacturers in their folders, not really achievable ...
My current Megane is there (alas ...) of course no exception.
To begin the trip computer I sit in the Megane, a lot less accurate than in my previous rara ... how is that ?? If I had consumed instance, according to the on-board 43.7 liters in the previous Megane, well then I had to really squeeze to make 43.8, let alone get 43.9 liters in the tank. The average is 100KM also knocked always exact.
In my current copy is in my view an on-board computer with a very French style ... I just use standard half a liter more than 100km on my computer wants me to believe, and obviously translates that when refueling ... there goes just casually 3 to 4 liters more in the tank than the com indicates that I should have burned. That means my little computer so standard one percent or 10 sitting next to count ...
Continue strikes me at this Megane difference in consumption in the winter (saves half a liter on average 100km), low temperatures and wet weather (wet roads + more drag so merrily between 0.5L and 1L / 100km more) and finally a sharp wind like the last days .... I am so suddenly to 6.8, and even above the 7,2L / 100KM with my Ecotweetje. I therefore ..Haal with difficulty the 1:14 ...! And not because I whiz down the highway at 190km / h!
It could be a bit of adjustment, the car only under "ideal conditions" running around 1:20, and I'm still in percentage terms quite far from the promised fuel consumption from the folder, but it is in our little country (unfortunately ?) not all year round 20 degrees, no wind and dry ...
Bottom line is actually, I quite by normal weather conditions, consumption just almost see increase by 50%, and departs almost 80% compared with brochure promises ...
Next week he gets his 120000km beurtje. Possibly it there (too?) Something to do with ...?
120K turn (120,000 km)Today, the Megane has had his routine 120K turn. The radio is replaced under warranty as agreed, and then there was last weekend casual one headlight scoop went to a pension, so that was obviously replaced. Furthermore, I had no complaints or concerns, and are apparently not shocking things come to light during maintenance. We go merrily on to the 150k, and notable events (as to my car) readers are operated at their beck and call.
there just about the whip! (123,000 km)I know, not everybody is on this kind of information waiting, but last night, at a virtually deserted German Autobahn, yet as my Megane given the tracks to see 'what is in it. " We still remain just big overgrown boys who (sometimes) even allowed to play with their car, right? And it may / may in certain places, so ... the whip over there in Germany.
The 180 km / h, he gets pretty quickly, and then it starts to crawl the last few kilometers. Independent you'll end up at 190 km / h on the clock. If you are lucky that there is a still (slightly) faster motorist you come whizzing past, and you can (briefly) to hang in his slipstream, you get the 195 km / h. Finally, at a ramp came down the 200 km / h in the picture. But when the begrenziger hold in my view! At my previous Megane I first time the 202 km / h as seen on the counter at a test session, but that was not in my current Megane. But it remains a pretty face, suddenly see the counter cheerfully 200 before you ecotweetje. And if you think they are 'fast', do not make me laugh! You happy overtaken by the cars of heavy caliber, that are mad at me treasure smoothly towards the 240 km / h past me ... You keep boss above boss keep haha!
Then the trip back to something more normal, and the car-respecting, put more speed.
Tire Exchange-trick and radio remains misery (133,000 km)At the car wash this weekend, I still fell though, that the tires in terms of profile, sit down over half of their lifetime. In itself, nothing strange, because this winter have been 70 000 km are in the wheels! On the rear tires was still perched profile, so here this morning visited the tire center to make the front tires / wheels for the last 2 months behind and vice versa. Char nothing, piece of cake, and it looks like I'm going to run more than 90000km with this set. Who does me after?
A while ago I replaced phenomena related to the base radio / CD under warranty, and because the radio say after two hours did not want to switch more to CD as I am tired of the station ... But dear reader, you guessed it might have been. ..the radio has since this week the same cures, weather is just 'out of the blue "from then it again just to go to ... I must then again bring the hands-free connection every time ... and yes, even the CD problem is also happy again surfaced. You can say what you want, the system is consistent in his Makkes!
It now takes him just a star.

I have, moreover, two weeks ago to buy another car, and it has not become more Renault. In the 14% addition, the Peugeot 308 SW is no longer available, and as a regular five-door he is really too small in terms of luggage for me. Otherwise, the Peugeot 308 SW have been a good option. I have my salvation therefore have to look at the 20% addition category, and have made my choice in the D segment, given my mileage! Which car has become I keep to the final.
Quiet countdown to the end of the contract (150,000 km)Tomorrow my Megane gets 150K-turn. Coincidentally went last Friday night, with another 400km back home ahead of the orange warning lights that there is a problem with the injection. Luckily he has not switched him over to emergency mode, so I could come up with standard power and speed at home ... The appearance of this warning is for me (unfortunately) nothing new. At my previous Megane I got this message as a little every 40-50K, and is related to a valve in the exhaust, which blocks / not functioning properly. And that would again have to do with brine, which fasten to that component. This Megane is therefore better maintained in that sense, so to speak. But it is apparently still a weak point in the Megane. Have other Megane drivers this?
Furthermore, spontaneous radio remains faithful fail one time or three a week to start again right. I have decided the case or to believe that this, and not yet another unit to put in there ... 'it will be' for the last few months ...
But beyond these two criticisms, I have to say the car also makes a spotless track each day so far my loyal ally remains and without whims every week add 2 to 3000km on the clock. I also late next week, discard the winter; who have persevered so than 90k (!) !! And so we drive steadily summer, and the end of the lease (August) meeting.
If all goes well, about a month or three his last turn with me as a mom!
summer tires back on and small rehabilitation (153.000 km)From today to drive with snow tires obligation in countries where I travel no longer apply, so summer shoes have been measured again.
I had at my last revieuw reported "check injection" of burning the light, and guessed the outlet evil as in my previous Megane appeared regularly. But to be honest, the outlet in this case are not to blame! Apparently I during that trip, at a speed of 123.7 km / h (yes, the boordcom looks like a black box ...) just had a little loss of turbo pressure. The sensors makes this standoff, which then translates into the dashboard with the familiar orange light in combination with the communication. Small rehabilitation so.
Turbo Story still get a sign (155.000 km)As mentioned earlier, neatly made my 150k beurtje, and mention of the orange light. The dealer claimed when collecting a one-off loss of boost pressure was the cause, just reset and drive ....
Well .... NOT SO! Because what happened last Friday late afternoon for the return trip in the middle of Germany? Suddenly the RED lights will illuminate with its ringing, by stopping the message immediately otherwise risk of engine damage .... Well, what do you do .... ???
Luckily I was near an exit, and the TomTom showed me that there was near a Renault dealership, where I stood at 16h50 at the door ..... I was happy that he was still open! And fortunately the chief shop was still there, and the worst is not yet here to see what the problem was .... Big sigh of relief .... Anyway, after half an hour the man came with a broad grin and a fine spinning Megane from the workshop. A small tube that is BEFORE the turbo pressure sensor was finally torn .... he was temporarily replaced with another type of tube so that I could still drive home !! They call service !!!

But that meant so that the dealer executing the turn did not watch where the interference came from, and sent me back merrily on our way. Luckily this business still open and she wanted to help me, but for the same money I had on a car show towing me, replacement car must regulate, uuuuuuren delay to have to pick up later after X time your car again in central Germany because a small K .... snake! I think after the weekend my dealer can expect a nice visit from me ....

I also remember that I with my previous Megane around this mileage woes with the /'ve had a turbo long, allowing me to emergency program of Austria gesukkeld'm home ...

the dealership visit has revealed that a new hose coupling must be mounted serving the turbo pressure sensor. The job takes a little 8 hours because you have to build half the engine in order to be able to .... Anyway, if the problem is solved then we go vriolijk out with the Megane.
am a bit done with it ... (160.000 km)When I execute the last repair, and my car had been removed, I was assumed that all misery now would be behind it ....
But this is not true ... Because unfortunately when I over 400km home was the party started all over again to ... orange lamp store began as usual to burn with the now classic reports. And worse, he shot back into the emergency program. Even after just stop, switch off the engine and restarting remained the emergency program asset. And if you know that you have that round still to go a little 2000km, appointments have periodically ....? Well, because the speed, especially mound, there was from snappy, I was hopelessly late for my appointment. The afternoon I rather do business, in a Renault garage bivouacked in Zurich. They have helped me do more for emergency, ie they have him read out and reset. The problem was probably somewhere in the soot / particulate filter, but for a proper diagnosis more time was needed, and this time they did not! Success again! After resetting the car would normally ride, but how long .... they could not tell me. Oh, if I just wanted to tick off 70 Swiss francs for reading .... Why service / warranty ....? Never heard of in Switzerland ...
Well, we can keep the story simple, he has sustained a minor 400km, and when he (obviously) Friday afternoon just got beyond mind Geneva ... You tuff 900km emergency program again home. Well, you can look at it positively, I finally got home ....
Of course I had, happy spirit, the garage already called about my experiences. Well, I had just come back, but on Monday all the bridges were already full. Tuesday at 11h, I could come along, then there was another room would be ready for me after some sliding and pulling in the planning .... The twizzy and coffee ...
After a day detective work in the workshop, all rubber bleaching snakes that have a turbo, intake and exhaust system, inside pulverizing out ... If they now, like the previous times, which would replace one tube through which he now drew false air again to make, I would enter no time back on the sidewalk because the next tube in row tears again ... There is apparently (according to my mechanic) just drama-quality rubber used in this series engines. And yeah, the average user does this evil only after a year or 5 or 6 use surfaced at this mileage (160k). That means or for the average driver than a case of bad luck / peanut butter unfortunately 'because to guarantee can you whistle course! I can hardly imagine that at Renault they do organize a recall-action! The dealer will of course also had noooooit seen / had. Most of the components had to be ordered in France. Because this never occurs, these components were in Belgium out of stock. To make the celebration complete, the leasing company had no replacement vehicles longer, and the garage can not .... When they have given me out of distress but the bus service ....
Right, I'm all done with it and ... costing him a star in the confidence index.
end of suffering in sight (160,000 km)After careful consideration, the conditions of the last few weeks and the current mileage into account, we decided to send the Megane retire earlier than originally planned. He may bring another 2 weeks, and then returns to the leasing company. End Renault so, and now we hope he me in the next two weeks, not again abandon ....
Coincidence want my new car, I ordered in early February, has been delivered! Normally, the dealer had expected a delivery time of 4-5 months because it is a new model. How can it, may know the good Joost, but the car has been delivered last week! The new car so you do not have four months waiting for his new owner!

And what has become the ???
I was kind of done with a C-segmentation with my mileage per year. I would still like to go shopping again in the D-segment. You did just a little more cars and ditto driving comfort. The 14% addition I could forget, so I had to go my refuge in the 20% addition search. Importantly, it is a spacious, comfortable travel car, good in the options / standard equipment, around 150 hp, and he must take a minimum of 1300kg.
Audi A4, BMW3 Series, Mercedes C and Volvo V60 or V70 I find too small and / or expensive, especially if you want it a little full.
I'm still hard fan of the Citroen DS5, really still an awesome car that has no equal! But the HDI 150PK blue is not available in Belgium ... only the 115hp 1.6 e-HDI version, and I wanted so much more power. The Hybrid4 may unfortunately pull 800kg therefore also fall off, really sorry! I understand that not incidentally. The Peugeot 508 SW RXH, which is technically / motor identical, may have 1200kg on the hook ... who got it ???
The Opel Insignia I find a nice car, but already some years on the market and I think the interior space behind and in the trunk to fall in relation to the external dimensions.
The Peugeot 508 SW, nice car, nice and spacious, but despite the facelift, has also been a while present in the street.
The new Passat? Also, a nice car, but if you want him complete with the same 150 hp under the hood, you are much more expensive in comparison to the car where the choice is fallen, and thus saves considerably in the addition.
Since I already had been very pleased with the Skoda Superb, was new even on my wishlist. But the dealer could promise me impossible that he could deliver the desired car early August. In fact, he was even afraid or 2015 in general would be feasible.
The Mazda 6 after all. To be honest, I
am still in doubt here! The 2.2D with 150 hp runs like a charm, and in the red-metallic, both the sedan and the SW beautiful and especially sporty appearance! Aiaiai ... The choice was difficult, but in the end I'm like a block fallen for the new Ford Mondeo. I am originally a station wagon fan, and I (first haha, it was 2014 when I already drove virgin 9km on the counter!) Even with a new model Ford Mondeo SW test drove. But when I was not 'showroom polished' 5-door spotted in the workplace, in that beautiful Ruby Red as in advertising on TV ... Tastes differ, but I could only say WOW. And if you throw the tailgate open, a space .... unbelievable. That is him alone! The 2 liter diesel with 150 hp, Business package it, dark rear windows, what concerns me just off! And besides price technically a blast, so bijtellings-friendly should I say!
2 weeks, please ....
Time to say goodbye (166.000 km)It's time. Tomorrow, the Megane is returned, and I am very happy that I can / may return the car early. I spent the last two weeks might be no more problems had, you sit still with a strange knot in your stomach when you're away from home, and think, shit, everything remains hopelijk doing ... If you're so on the road must your car, well then the fun is there as I can tell you!
You just notice something is not quite nicely with the engine. For example, finishing with a inhaalmanouevre equally well on your gas, you feel that he is not pretty linear pervades. You feel that he means every 2 seconds a minute, as if he has to gasp for breath ... not feeling so good.
Regardless of the motor problems since the 149K had passed, and the radio still occasionally fails, I must say that the Megane (like his predecessor) further assists still tight and crisp. No rattling or crackling, steering wheel and gearshift are neat, seats still looks fine / tear off, so the overall look is after 166K nothing wrong with it. Only there is again the 'elbow dent "in the upper edge of the door trim.
What is the conclusion? To say 150K went well with this car, but the last time / mileage really went for me (Renault) door. A car must be just as reliable, especially with my distances. I also think the dealer politics lately very short-sighted, to finding the cause of a failure to. Just reset the trade, and here we go again, I am a bit too simple. And the argument that after the repair it with test driving is ... sorry, goes on in me. Given the experience of the last time, I do not know if I will choose a Renault in the future
