Seeking Advice for Overheating 2021 Renault Arkana and Trusted Mechanic Recommendations

Hey there, I had a similar situation with my 2018 Renault Captur (Diesel, around 50k on the odometer). Warning light popped on and guess what, the coolant level was too low, inducing overheating just like in your Arkana. Now relax, it's not as bad as it might seem. First, ensure the engine is cool before you do anything. As long as there isn't a leakage or a damaged hose, it might just need a top-up with the right coolant (double-check your manual for the correct type). The boy at the reputable garage I visited last checked everything including the radiator, thermostat, water pump, and hoses just to be sure no leaks were present. In the end, he just topped up the coolant and eased my worried mind. Might be the same thing you're experiencing. Might be worth going to a different mechanic this time, the issue is relatively straightforward. Safe motoring, friend!

Hey! Seems like Renaults have an issue with this, eh? Had the same scare with my Arkana a few months back. Heated up and then that dreaded warning light came on. Fortunately for me - thank god - it was just the coolant too. Maybe they just don't fill 'em up enough at the factory or something. Now, I'm curious, how much did you have to shell out when you took your Captur to the garage? Also, have any other issues popped up since you got it fixed? Keep those wheels turning!

Hey! Funny how the Renault gets us all in a stir around this, huh? But truthfully, it was more of a worry than a hole in my wallet. To answer your query, the trip to refill the coolant ate up about 52.50 Euro - not too bad, right? Since then, my trusty Captur has been behaving beautifully. No more spooky warning lights or temperature hikes. I guess the guys at the garage were as good as they claimed. So, don't fret too much. Just get a different mechanic to check things out this time, and I bet you'll drive away with a cool engine and a slightly lighter wallet! Drive safe!

Hey, Thanks a lot for the info, guys! It's refreshing to get some helpful advice and experiences, really eases my mind. I'll get my Arkana to a new garage for sure and hopefully, just a coolant refill will solve the issue. And yeah, 52.50 Euro sounds like a breeze compared to what I feared it might cost. Fingers crossed there'll be no more trouble after this. Appreciate your help and safe motoring to you too! Cheers!
