Service & Maintenance FAQs
Whilst parts supply was restricted during the initial ‘lockdown’ period, the situation has now greatly improved with good availability across the entire range. However, until the supply chain is back fully functioning to 100% of the pre COVID 19 levels there may be some instances where there is a delay in the supply of a specific part/s. If you are experiencing an ongoing issue and your local dealer is unable to confirm a delivery time then please contact Renault Customer Services on 0344 335 0000* if you wish to discuss the situation further.
Due to COVID 19, the government announced that cars, vans and motorcycles due their MOT between 30 March 2020 to July 31 2020 had their MOT extended by 6 months.
Please remember though that your vehicle/s must be kept in a roadworthy condition and that you can be prosecuted if you drive an unsafe vehicle. If you have any concerns as to the roadworthiness of your vehicle then please contact your local dealer for advice or alternatively contact Renault Customer Services on 0344 335 0000*.
Now that our network has fully re-opened for Aftersales services, your chosen dealer will contact you to confirm your booking request. If, for whatever reason, you have not been contacted then please contact your dealer direct. If you are experiencing any problems making contact, then please call Renault Customer Services on 0344 335 0000* who will be pleased to help you.
People are rightly worried about their car batteries going flat because they aren’t driving as much as normal. The battery may lose power and ultimately become flat resulting in the engine not starting. Simply starting a car occasionally isn’t likely to help, in fact this may end up draining a weak battery.
There have been some major developments in Renault battery technology and the charging system over recent years, primarily due to the introduction of stop start technology and emission control which has driven this progress. Our more recent vehicles only charge when necessary to reduce emissions. When a vehicle is switched off they will all enter various levels of sleep mode to reduce current consumption, some of our vehicles have the added ability to cut circuits if the system detects poor battery levels.
As the government advice is only to drive when essential, drivers will have to rely on these trips to keep their batteries healthy. Ideally drive the vehicle for 20 minutes.
If you have more than one car it’s probably best to alternate between them for your essential journeys so they both get used. You should also consider driving the one with the older or weaker battery more often. These essential journeys will not only help the condition of the battery but will help keep the brakes clean and tyres in good condition.
If you keep your car in a garage, you may want to consider using a battery charger to maintain the battery at the correct charge level.
Information Correct at 7 April 2020.
Service contracts expiring from 1st Jan 2021 to 31st March 2021, will now be extended to 30th April 2021. No modification will be applied on mileage.
If your service is late/delayed as a result of the COVID 19 situation, it will not automatically invalidate your warranty. Now that restrictions have been eased, a further one month period will be allowed to carry out the service
