Autostart work

Because of the rubber limit switch, the Captura autostart may not work.

Cases have already been repeatedly noted that the autorun function of Renault Kaptur is malfunctioning. As a rule, the problem lies in the fact that the limit switch under the hood pushes through the hood stop - this is a rubber element against which the limit switch rests when the hood is closed. The reason is the insufficiently rigid composition of the rubber from which the stop is made. Because of it, the limit switch does not work and, as a result, there are problems with autorun. It is enough just to strengthen this emphasis.

To solve the problem, the limit switch will need to be strengthened.

You can do everything yourself or go to the dealer for diagnostics, although in salons sometimes they do not immediately recognize the warranty case.

RTI
RTI quality

Problems with Kaptura seals are becoming a mass phenomenon.

Rubber products are a clear disadvantage of Renault Kaptur. Maybe it's the rubber compound.

This is especially noticeable on seals. There is a defect in clicks during the opening of the doors. On the rear doors, the seal next to the lower molding is most often problematic. In the process of opening, it breaks, crumples against the front door and turns out, and the field of this clings to the inside of the molding. Naturally, such an element will not last long.

In addition, troubles begin with the upper seal of the front doors - during opening, it touches the rear door element, as a result of which it bends. At the same time, a click is also heard.

Seals cling to door moldings.

As practice shows, the only solution is to contact a Renault dealership. However, some salons refuse to make a warranty replacement, arguing that the case is acceptable. However, the most interesting thing is that when asked whether a replacement will be carried out if the seal breaks, they also refuse, saying that this moment will be considered operational wear.

In this case, there is only one thing left - contacting the Renault representative office with a complaint about the dealership, if the salon refused to carry out a replacement under warranty.

Sealant in the front doors

Common problem with seals.

Some car owners notice that the seal in the front doors literally “walks”. It either decreases or increases in length. For some, this problem first appears on the passenger door, and later on the driver's door, for others it's the other way around.

Sealant and paint

Such troubles may arise.

Some owners notice that the lower door seals actively wipe the paintwork. The reason is a miscalculation in the design. To avoid corrosion in the future, it is recommended to stick a strip of armored film.

SUSPENSION
Under-inflated tires

Incorrect tire pressure is a problem for many Capturs.

During transportation on car carriers, the pressure in the wheels of Renault Kaptur is deliberately increased in order to increase the stability of the car. However, in salons, during pre-sale preparation, they often forget to bleed excess air, so after the purchase it will not be superfluous to check this moment and, if necessary, equalize the pressure.

You need to adjust the pressure in the tires with an eye on this plate.

CV joint boots

On some machines, the CV joint anthers may be defective (cracks or tears). If there are any, you must contact the dealer for a replacement, as in this case the warranty for Renault Kaptur is valid. Therefore, even if the manager insists on a paid replacement, it is recommended to refuse, and if there is no reaction from the salon, write a complaint.

By the way, replacing an anther at a dealer costs about 4,000 rubles, of which the price of the original anther is 1,500 rubles, and 2,500 rubles must be paid for work.

wheel arch liners

Poorly installed fender liner.

Sometimes on potholes you can hear characteristic clicks. They arise due to the fact that the plastic fender liner gets under the shock absorber spring. The reason is a sloppy installation at the dealership, because these fender liner are purchased as an add-on. equipment. To solve the problem, it is enough to simply straighten the plastic of the fender liner and put it in place, without even having to remove the wheel.

However, it is easy to fix it.

STEERING
Hits on the steering wheel

Occasionally, a situation arises when, during a turn, the steering wheel starts to shake, and characteristic sounds coming from the steering rack are heard in the cabin. Feelings are similar to those when the GUR lacks performance. At the same time, the owners note that hanging the car on a lift does not show anything. If this problem occurs, please contact your dealer. From where, quite possibly, a request will be made to the Moscow plant.

The sound can be heard in this video:

BODY
Doors don't close well

During operation, some notice that the doors can only be closed after a strong bang. Moreover, as a rule, the problem arises with any one door, while the rest is usually all right.

There are two options for this situation. First you need to check how coaxially the door lock loop is installed on the rack. It might be slightly skewed. In this case, an adjustment must be made. If this does not help, it is recommended to try opening and closing the door with the glass down. Many notice that in this case the door closes much easier. If so, you need to open the Renault Kaptur trunk and peel off the ventilation valves located in the rear arches. Usually, after following these recommendations, the problem disappears.

Grease in doorways

Absolutely nothing serious, but such carelessness in the work of the masters is clearly not encouraging.

This “jamb” should be attributed rather not to factory workers, but to employees of dealerships who carry out pre-sale preparation, lubricating stops and locks. Of course, the zeal for work is good, as well as the fact that they obviously do not save on lithol. However, this is done too sloppily. The result is grease that spreads through the doorways. Of course, there is nothing catastrophic in this, because it is enough to simply wipe off lithol with a piece of cloth, but the sediment remains ...

Door handles

The Captura door handle may get stuck in this position.

Sometimes the outer door handle sticks - after closing the door, it does not adhere to the body and has to be pushed through. Sometimes the problem disappears by itself, but to be sure, it is recommended to lubricate it with WD-40 fluid.

Trunk open

This is the message that sometimes appears on the Captura's multimedia display while reversing, even though the trunk lid is securely closed. Over time, it stops showing up. This message does not interfere with driving - you just need to wait a bit until the seals run in.

OPTICS
Beam adjustment

Checking the light beam on the lens is almost mandatory.

It does not hurt to check the headlights and foglights - often they are simply littered down. As a result of this, the fog lights shine literally under the front bumper, and the angle of adjustment of the headlights can be different. It is recommended to carry out a full check and adjustment on the "lens".

GLASS
Rear glass

In this case, the factory robot is already to blame, or rather its tuners.

This minor defect is not visible unless you look closely. It consists in the fact that the right side of the glass in the fifth door is slightly littered down. Most likely, the whole point is in the small errors in the settings of the factory robot that glues the glass. You don't have to worry about this at all.

INTERIOR
Gaps in the cabin

Small assembly error.

This is the gap between the floor covering and the dashboard in the area of ​​​​the lever for opening the hood. There may be an interval of about 10 mm between them. Nothing critical, especially since this minus Kaptur (if any) is practically invisible. Also, some have uneven gaps between the dashboard and doorways - on the driver's side, the plastic fits closely, and on the passenger side it is clearly lacking.

Air deflector

Many people have problems with the central deflectors.

Sometimes the central air deflector stops closing - the adjusting dial rotates, but the curtains remain motionless. This moment has already become massive for Renault Kaptur. The warranty case, as the hinge fails, so the repair is carried out at the dealer.

Glove box

Sometimes the glove box lid just falls out when driving from vibrations, and during closing there is a skew. All fasteners are intact. If nothing can be done on your own, you need to go to the dealer.
