Have a 2015 Diesel Koleos - love this car (had it for 3 years) had no problems until last week - flat battery - no problems the car told me what to do, so drove straight to Renault Service - they replaced it, drove home. BUT for exactly one week I had trouble starting the car (usually starts immediately), drove out and only a couple of ks down the road error message appeared "Injection Error" big RED STOP came up - got the car towed to Renault again, they say its the fuel injection - but this is my question "is this the beginning of a down hill road?" Is it time to trade it in? What do you guys think?

If you still have warranty you should be right. How many kms have you done? I have not had this happen. I always use bp diesel, maybe that helps? Good luck

My fathers screen stopped working after the battery was replaced. It was perfect and then nothing. My father took it to a local dealer and was advised there was a recall on the screen/sat nav but as it had failed they wanted $2000 to fix. I found this very strange. Any suggestions?

My display screen has gone blank only time shows any ideas. Have tried the usual like turning car off letting it sit for a while and restarting, pushed touch home button a few times and nothing. Could it be a computer issue or fuse?

Hi - I was going to drive my Renault Koleos (2008, 2.0L diesel, manual) up our fairly steep and short driveway, but immediately after starting the "injection system failure" and "stop" messages flashed up and the engine cut out. Most electronic functions failed. Next morning the error messages had "disappeared', but the car wouldn't start, battery seemed to lack power. I recharged the battery and tried again. Same result, the starter engine tries, but the engine won't start. The yellow engine warning is still on, but the "injection system failure" warning did not light up this time.
Now wondering whether to call a mobile mechanic (but could he fix this problem on my driveway?) or to get it towed to a European car dealership. I live near Sydney, Australia, not many Renault workshops arounds...
Thanks for your time,
Matthias

Hey everyone,
Wondering if anyone has came across this issue on the 2017 koleos.
•When the ignition is turned off and the car is parked! The head unit keeps turning on and off unless the lock button is pressed from the key fob also sometimes the display on the unit is off but radios on.
I wonder if there is a reboot that can be done?
2 answers
You can hold the power button on while the car ignition is on but you may need to visit dealer, its under warranty so don’t stress.
Thanks for the tip, I've just pressed and hold the screens back on, yes it is just wanted to do a bit of research before heading to the dealership.
Cheers

I have a 2012 Koleos and while still in the 5 yr warranty, the drivers external door handle has stopped working. Inside worked fine. Koleos replaced it but now another 18 months out of warranty the same thing has happened to the drivers side rear external door handle. Koleos say they know nothing about this occurring but it’s odd! We actually hardly use the rear door handle so wear and tear is not the issue. And it will cost several hundred just for them to look at it as it would involve opening the interior panels. Has anyone else had similar happen?
2 answers
No but while under warranty, the boot lock ceased and as a result replaced by Renault. I have a 2013 privilege 4wd
TeeJay my boot lock is dodgy too! I had it fixed by a wrecker when having some panel work done. It’s still not right though and somethings doesn’t latch to open straight away. Haven’t had Renault look at it though. They won’t fond anything even if they did!

You check the fuses. If not this you might need to go to an auto electrician. I haven’t had any issues as such.

I have a 2008 Renault Koleos. Been serviced regularly and has had no problems up to this time. My Koleos has been sitting for 3 months, no driving or starting. It started first time without any issues, however all windows except the drivers window are not functioning. I cannot open them. Is there something I can do to fix this without going to an auto electrician. Also the wipers will not function unless I turn it to the highest speed.

I have a Koleos 2009 4x4 Privilege model and the Differential gear box has gone on it.
1. Is that a different unit to just a gear box ?
2. Also can I use an Nissan Xtrial Differential unit as a replacement as they share the same Chaise ?

I have a 2016 Renault Koleos that I have had the bonnet completely replaced because it was moving about everywhere when experiencing wind pressure. The replacement isn’t much better. Has anyone else had this problem and had it resolved?
1 answer
They’re just light, i had an xtrail with the same issue now i’ve just learned to ignore it, same as when you can see it bouncing around whilst idling in drive without the air con on.
