Problems and faults: Renault X65 Clio RS
- If the Renault X65 Clio RS engine misfires, does not run on all cylinders or runs rough, the ignition coils may need to be replaced – this is a common problem.
- Manual transmissions are susceptible to wearing their top casing – this may necessitate a rebuild.
- For three door models, the clips holding the power windows in place can pop out – this can cause the window to rise outside of the doorframe and stretch the regulator cables.
- The primary bonnet catch must be adequately greased so that it latches. If not, and the secondary plastic catch fails, the bonnet may lift when driving and strike the windscreen.
- The coil springs – front and rear – were susceptible to breaking.
