The Renault Captur is a popular compact crossover SUV manufactured by the French car manufacturer Renault. It was first introduced in 2013 and has gained considerable popularity in the European market. The Captur combines the versatility of an SUV with the practicality of a hatchback, offering a stylish and compact vehicle suitable for urban driving. Despite its popularity, there are a number of problems reported by owners. Here we look at some of the most common ones.

Automatic gearbox

Common problems encountered by car owners include gearbox lubrication, clutch problems and linkage malfunctions. A typical symptom is a cracking sound when shifting gears, which can be a sign of an underlying gearbox problem. You may also experience difficulty engaging or shifting gears, such as an unresponsive or stuck speed.

Electrical issues

The most common problems reported by Renault Captur owners are non-engine related electrical faults, specifically relating to the navigation, and air conditioning systems and their controls. However, it is worth noting that the vast majority of these faults have been rectified at no cost to the owner, as they are covered by Captur's warranty. If you are experiencing problems with your radio, this is most likely an issue with spare parts and accessories for the Renault Captur, such as a deteriorated fuse.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth connectivity has also been an issue with older models. A quick fix in many cases has simply been a software update.

Timing chain

Very few problems have been reported with the Renault Captur timing chain. However, it is important to note that they should be replaced after about 100,000 as a part of regular maintenance.

Battery

The vehicle may exhibit several common symptoms when the battery is flat – such as a slow engine start, clicking sounds, and flickering dashboard lights when attempting to start the engine. The most typical causes of a flat Renault Captur battery are internal battery deterioration due to age and a faulty alternator. However, other factors such as parasitic current or extended periods of vehicle inactivity can also contribute to a flat battery. It is important to address these issues promptly by either charging or replacing the battery, repairing the alternator or identifying and eliminating any parasitic current to ensure proper vehicle operation. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure they are clean and secure. Monitoring the health of the battery and charging system is vital. If the battery shows signs of deterioration or fails to hold a charge, it may need to be replaced to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Cv joints

Many Captur owners have reported problems with their car's CV joints, including a clicking sound when the car turns left and right. If this is the case with your vehicle, it's time to have them replaced by a trusted mechanic.

Routine maintenance

Routine maintenance is essential to keep your vehicle in optimum condition and ensure its longevity. By following a regular maintenance schedule, you can address potential problems at an early stage and prevent major problems in the future. One of the most important maintenance tasks is regular oil changes. This involves changing the engine oil and oil filter at the recommended intervals.

Another important aspect of maintenance is the installation of a new Renault Captur air filter. The filter keeps dirt, dust, and other contaminants from entering the engine. With time, it can get clogged, affecting airflow and reducing fuel efficiency. That's why it's important to check and replace the air filter when necessary.

Routine maintenance will ensure the reliability, performance and longevity of your Captur. Always refer to the specific maintenance schedule provided by the carmaker and consult a qualified mechanic or an authorised service centre for precise instructions on maintenance procedures.
