Electronics, EDC gearbox and suspension on the Captur IIKnown weak points
- Engine / equipment
- Renault Captur II (petrol, LPG, diesel and E-Tech)
- Period mentioned
- 2019 onwards
- Symptoms
- Infotainment, lane assist, tyre-pressure monitoring and stop-start faults; a trip meter that resets itself; harsh EDC shifts; at the roadworthiness test, suspension and handbrake; direct-injection carbon over time.
- Possible cause described
- The German guide says the chain and oil consumption of earlier TCe engines are no longer an issue; updates do not always fix the electronics. The ADAC rates 2019 and 2020 poorly. A recall for the towing mass missing from the papers (2019–2020).
- Check for the garage
- Ask for software updates; test the EDC in traffic; check suspension and handbrake; check the campaign by VIN.

- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; from a regeneration to replacing the filter.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
