I have driven it for only 1 month and to my horror when my mechanic told me when I complain about the squeaky noise from the air condition compressor that the mounting on engine block from which the compressor bracket is mounted has cracked and that I need to replace the whole engine as just changing the engine block alone is just as expensive. I am really at a loss at what to do next. I send it down to the agent here in Singapore, Exclusive Motors, and they cannot assess the condition as it was a Saturday and told me to send it on Monday(9 Sept) for 2-4 days so that they can assess and give me my option and how damaged it is. I am praying very hard and could not sleep as the money involve to replace the fault is stressing me to my limit. The agent told me that my car is the first one they encounter with this problem. I also like to know if any other person has brought this up to Renault. I have lost ny faith in continental cars as the first one I own is so upsetting. Thanks. benjan@singnet.com.sg
