Re: EV Charging Apps

I have a selection of EV charging apps. I've often found the rapid chargers fail to authenticate my debit or credit cards but I can start and pay for a charge using the app.

Re: Horn

No pics I'm afraid. I removed the connector assembly off the original horn. Cut it back so I could solder wires to the back of the socket. Wires then go to spade connectors to the new horn. This allowed me to leave the original Renault horn connector as it was. (but it did mean the original horn is ...

I've signed up but don't need or want an SUV. I have a salon and love it.

Re: Sudden scraping noise from front wheels

If you drive with the regen turned up high you won't be using the brakes much and you can get the discs collecting surface rust. That clears off after a few deliberate braking sessions.

Re: flat battery

Had my E-Tech for over a year now and 15K miles. Mainly charge at home on a 7.4KW AC charger but regularly use fast and rapid DC charges with no issue.

Re: V2L

Clearly Renault don't currently support V2G or V2L and I suspect the hardware isn't even present.

Re: Regen performance change

Odd as 15K miles on our car using full regen has reduced our battery by 2.5% so now at 97.5% Really P1ssed that my Dealer Motorvogue Kings Lynn didn't tell us and let us book the car in for tes...

Re: Regen performance change

Booked car into Motorvoque to investigate the reduced regen to be told its a recent software update to protect the battery life.
No notice to owners just changed.
Very unhappy as we've seen range impacted by the loss of regen being used.

Re: Megan E-Tech Tencho -New over the air software update failed

Not seen the update yet but will check. Been having issues with the charger door flap. Sometimes it won't open even with the car unlocked so I have to lock and unlock the car again. Other times I see it open slightly when it was previously closed. I've got to book the car in for a problem with the r...

Re: 🐀Rodent Damage🐀

Where on the car is this?
You can buy strong spearmint sprays that are supposed to deter rodents.
