Problem with overheating and low coolant level in Renault Captur Diesel 2014

Hey, I actually had a similar problem with my 2012 Renault Clio. I only have some experience with car mechanics, but I can tell you what happened in my workshop. The problem with my car was the sporadic faulty communication between the control units. The replacement and the necessary software adjustment in the workshop cost 955 euros, expensive, I know. I would suggest you take your car to your local Renault dealer and have the fault memory read out there. What model do you have exactly and how many kilometers has your car run? Have there been any other noticeable symptoms? The more details you have, the more I might be able to help. Hope this helps a little!

Hey, thanks for your feedback. My model is a Captur. The mileage is 52191, so I haven't put that much on it yet. There have been no other noticeable symptoms. Except maybe that the car hesitates a bit when I start it. But that could just be my imagination as I'm really worried right now. 955 euros is a lot of money, I didn't expect that. Hopefully I can find a cheaper solution. Thanks in any case for the tip about the fault memory, I'll definitely have that done!

Hey, yes, that really is an expensive repair. In my Clio it was the control unit, but in your case it could just be a problem with the cooling system. With low mileage like yours, I wouldn't immediately fear the worst. The hesitation when starting could have something to do with the cooling system, but it could also be a completely different problem. Then try to keep an eye on the coolant level and check whether there are any leaks. Top up the coolant and see if the level drops again quickly - if it does, you have a leak somewhere and it needs to be repaired. The tip about the fault memory is really worth its weight in gold here. It will definitely help you to find the exact problem. Keep your fingers crossed that it's nothing serious or expensive! Keep us up to date, will you?

Hello, thanks again. Yes, I will keep an eye on the coolant level and look for leaks in my cooling system. And next Monday is the appointment to have the fault memory read out. I really hope it's nothing serious. Thanks for the great advice and support anyway! I will definitely keep you up to date. See you then!
