Firstly, I have to say that SWMBO and I are delighted with our Renault Master Wildax conversion. It runs like a train and we love the auto transmission but it does have a recurring issue of the 'check emissions' fault flagging up and so far the Renault dealers have not yet traced the problem.
Here is the story so far:
1. August 2020: Purchase '18 plate Renault Master Quickshift Euro 6 Wildax Europa. 13k miles
2. October 2020: 'Check emissions' - Local Renault dealer clears diagnostics memory
3. January 2021: 'Check emissions' - Local Renault dealer clears diagnostics memory
4. March 2021: I top up the adblue and within 60 miles all sorts of dire warnings pop up saying, essentially, there is no adblue and the van will soon come to a halt. Within another 10 miles these warnings disappear and we are back to 'check emissions'
5. Late March 2021: 'Check emissions' - Local Renault dealer clears diagnostics memory and tells me to go to the big city dealer because they can't fix it.
6. April 2021: Passed 1st MOT flying colours.
7. Late April 2021: Big city main dealer clears all legacy errors from 'all the computers' so we can start from a clean sheet - as he puts it. Also road tests the van twice.
8. Good all summer 2021
9. November 2021: (You guessed it) 'Check emissions'
You may have noticed that the problem only occurs in colder weather, so I wonder if there is a temperature related function in the emissions system that is faulty.
Fortunately the van has a 4 year warranty so it's booked in with the big city dealer again. I intend to push them hard to solve this but I would welcome any thoughts from you guys and gals which may be useful. Knowledge is power, as they say.
