I have a 1.6VVT Renault Megane on a 2007 plate ,its only done just over 20k miles ,However we keep getting this smell of warm oil through the heater vents more so when we pull away from a Junction or move of from sitting still , its been in the dealers 6 times now and they have flushed the oil and did a oil change but its still doing it just the oil smell is newer , i cant see any leaks and the breathers have supposed to have been checked and have no clue , the car is going to be out of warranty soon and i am just wondering if the dealer is trying to fob me off untill then ,The car is on Finance and we have only had it a few months so we are going to reject it if they cant fix the problem this time ,its got a few other problem which they have been asked to address , the car is back at the dealers yet again , anyone have any ideas ?

They have found a problem with a camshaft oil seal which they are going to replace ,which also means its getting a new timming belt etc so i think that they should have fixed it , if not then i am already thinking about a 307 hdi 136 to replace it ,i had a peugeot 206 hdi 130 and it never gave me any probs but went back to petrol ,what a mistakea to makea

I have told them if they dont fix it this time then they are getting the car back , i have already contacted the finance company to make them aware of the situation and they are fine so its really down to arnold clark to get there finger out and fix it or give me another car ,which wont be a Renault

I suggest that you take the car to another dealer before the warranty run out- get a second opinion
