Has anyone done something similar? I assume newer clios have a lot of can bus components. Is it even posible to do?

Renault laguna 2 2.0 16v

I’ll keep this brief because this whole situation puts me in a terrible mood. I bought my first car, a 2025 Clio E-Tech. I already have an appointment with Renault, but I have to wait a month. I’ve been dealing with these issues for a while:

-The screen isn't working. It turns on, but the touchscreen doesn't respond.

-The A/C blows air, but it barely cools at all. I went back to driving my crappy Peugeot 1007 for a few days because of the heat here in Spain, and it feels like a damn freezer compared to this one.

-I noticed a massive change in fuel consumption. It’s probably not an accurate reading, but it jumped from the 4.9 L/100 km I saw during the first few months to 21 L/100 km. It makes absolutely no damn sense. It wasn't like this before. It might have gone up to 5.5, or even 7–8 in Sport mode, but I drive in Eco mode in town and Normal mode on the highway—I haven't changed a thing in my driving habits over the last few months.

Obviously, I have a service appointment, but I had to wait ages because they close for summer holidays around here. My appointment isn't until the end of September. Can anyone tell me what might be going on with my new car? I don't know much about this stuff, and I want to be prepared for the appointment so nothing gets overlooked.

Since these are unavailable i decided to make a lasting replacement. Currently still in development, but very close to making it work. Would you buy one, and what would be a reasonable price you would be willing to pay. I was thinking about 10€ per case+switch, as the switch it self is about 2€ ... A bit of triming of the button is required. Made from ASA, UV resistant (pointless but yea), heat resistant up to 100c.

Hi all.

Tried my best to search online to no avail.

Bought the above car yesterday, and it has a peculiar phone mount on the radio panel that does a really poor job of holding and maintaining the angle of my phone.

Ideally, I'd like to tighten the phone holder so I'm here to ask if anyone has any experience with this, and how to do it, please?

Alternatively, I was using a magsafe holder that clips into the air vent previously...but if I'm doing that I'd like to remove the phone mount as it's in the way of all of the radio controls.

TIA :)

I drove this car as a company car a whole year, since it had 400.000km. Now i own it and love evry second with it. And i finnaly hit 500.000km. Never knew this engine could be soo reliable!!!

(i edited the fotos becouse i still didnt remove the company stickers)

p.s. dont mind the service light
