Recently became the owner of a RS300 Trophy 2020. Purchased from a main Renault dealer so has its warranty. I'm experiencing an issue with the fuel gauge.
Basically when I get to about 70ish miles left in the tank I start to think about topping up soon but not necessarily right away as it's got plenty left etc
Anyway with this car I've noticed that when I get to this point the car will suddenly drop to 10 miles remaining, needle to empty, fuel light on and a beep sound to warn me.
For example got home the other day, 70ish miles left in the tank, no fuel light on.
Turned car on next day, drove 2 minutes up the road and suddenly 10 miles remaining, fuel light on needle at zero.
This seems like a fault to me. I've contacted them and booked it in for investigation Tuesday. Just concerned as they said it will cost £130 to investigate. If their findings are covered under warranty then that fee is waived. If not then I have to pay it.
Had the car like 3-4 weeks and it's done this each time I've neared the thought of needing to top up soon but not yet.
Makes you not trust it completely
Any similar issues or known faults that this could be?
