Renault guides
Fault-by-fault guides written around what owners here actually report — the symptom you noticed, what usually causes it, and which part you end up needing. Every claim is sourced, and where a problem shows up in South African owner forums we cite those threads directly.
What goes wrong on the used first-generation Renault Captur in South Africa - the hesitant EDC gearbox on the 1.2 and its reported faults, timing chains on the 0.9, premature brake wear, early stop-start trouble and creaky pre-facelift trim - kept to the engine and gearbox each fault belongs to.
What goes wrong on the used SA Renault Duster - rust spots and ignition coils on the 2013-2018 car, turbo failures, clogged DPFs and the 4-year cambelt on the 2018-2025 diesel - with every fault kept to the generation it belongs to.
Most Renault Kwid fault lists online describe Indian cars. This guide sticks to South African sources - the November 2019 ABS and airbag line, the Global NCAP result, how the Easy-R gearbox really works, and the one SA recall on record.
The faults that actually show up on the 2014-2022 SA Renault Sandero and Stepway - timing chains, thermostat housings, fuel senders and starter motors - plus the NP200 fitment myth that costs people money.
Tell us the model, the year and the part. We will come back on what we can get hold of and what it costs.
