Electrical challenges with my 2013 Renault Wind: advice and experience requested

Hi everyone, I'm currently having a real struggle with my 2013 Renault Wind, gasoline engine with approx. 91276 km mileage. Electrical problems keep cropping up - the sat nav is on strike, general electrical failures and now a warning light is also coming on in the speedometer. Last time, the mechanic found faulty coding...it almost knocked my socks off, not to mention the negative experience in the workshop. Have any of you had similar problems with your car and could perhaps give me some advice on how best to approach this? Especially when it comes to experiences with garages, I'm really grateful for any tips! Thanks in advance and have a nice day everyone, A desperate Renault driver

Hi, I recently had similar problems with my 2010 Renault Mégane. It was actually a fault in the control unit and although it was quite annoying, the mechanic managed to fix it. With all the electronic gadgets in the newer cars, faults can sometimes occur. In my case, the control unit had to be completely replaced, so I think you're dealing with something similar. It's not a simple operation, but it's necessary to restore full functionality. So, my tip is to go to the garage and have it checked. Your mechanic may be able to repair or replace the control unit. But be prepared for a longer wait, because it's not necessarily a quick repair. It's a bigger job, but it's worth it in the end. Hope this helps, cheer up! Your Renault Mégane driver

Moin, that really doesn't sound like a walk in the park, but thanks for your advice! I'm glad to hear that your mechanic was able to solve the problem. If you remember, could you maybe tell me how much it cost in total? And did you have any incidents after the repair or did everything go smoothly? The whole thing is really bothering me. Thank you and best regards, your suffering wind rider

Hi, of course, no problem! The repair to my control unit cost me a good thousand euros, which was a bitter pill to swallow. But since the mechanic fixed the faulty coding, there have been no further incidents. Everything runs like clockwork, so it was money well spent. I know it's a lot of money, but once it's done, you have peace of mind. So, don't hang your head! It may look like shit right now, but once it's fixed, you'll be worry-free. Ahoy! Your Mégane buddy.

Moin, That's a lot of money of course, but I'm reassured to hear that there have been no further problems since then. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap, but I want my Renault to work properly again. So, I think I'll take the bull by the horns and take it to the garage. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. It gives me a bit more confidence in the whole matter. Greetings, your Renault Wind driver.
