1984 Renault R18i Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Renault's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Renault tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your R18i towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my R18i's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Renault R18i transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Renault. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Renault R18i transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Renault R18i can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your R18i ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
