Hey, thanks for your reply. The costs sound really steep. During the last service at 36173 km, nothing was mentioned that could indicate a defective control unit. Everything else seems to be running smoothly. Hopefully it's not that expensive. What symptoms did your car have at the time? Well, let's see what the mechanic says.

Hey, I can well understand that you're worried. In my Clio, it started with strange engine noises and then the light from the emergency call system came on, blinked constantly and eventually stopped working altogether. Such symptoms could indicate a problem with the control unit, but there could also be many other reasons. I'm not a mechanic. I would advise you to take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible before the problem gets worse. It may cost a bit, but it's better than being stranded on the highway. I hope this helps you. Let me know what the mechanic says. All the best!

Thanks for the advice. Your symptoms sound similar to those of my Renault. I'm worried that it really is the control unit. I'll take the car to the mechanic tomorrow and hope it won't be too expensive. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. Thanks again for your help!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2004 Renault Clio, which is very close to your model. I have very little experience with cars, but I did my own research at the time. In the end I had to go to a mechanic and it turned out that the control unit was faulty. It cost me around 1000 euros to get it fixed. Can you give me a few more details about your vehicle? Especially the condition of the control unit? Then I might be able to help you a little more precisely.
