TC Euro Cars, the importer and distributor of Renault vehicles in Malaysia, will have delivered about 50 units of the Megane RS 250 Cup (read our review here) by the end of April. By the end of this year, it’s estimated that 130 Renault Sport vehicles will be roaming our streets. Doesn’t sound like much, but for niche performance cars with manual transmissions, that’s an encouraging sum.
Not only do these lucky enthusiasts get to enjoy one of the best hot hatches on sale today, they now also get personalised service from dedicated Renault Sport engineers, introduced by TCEC at their PJ service hub this morning. How personalised? Well, lets say that RS owners have their cell numbers and can call them at any hour of the day!
According to TCEC, the RS engineers (Mr Zulhelmi and Mr Luqman) will serve as the single point of contact for all Renault Sport vehicle maintenance and repair related matters. Every RS vehicle that leaves the workshop needs to receive a “Quality Control Certificate” by the RS engineers, failing which the car will need to be rechecked.
The duo are also tasked with overseeing all maintenance and repair work carried out on Renault Sport models, ensuring that all the components are operating within manufacturers’ spec. Optional parts, future models, community events – these are the guys to ask.
RS engineers have at their disposal a fully-equipped Renault Technical Assistance vehicle (Kangoo with RS livery) for off-site repairs. They also have direct access to the Renault Technical Center in Korea, with support from Renault Sport in Dieppe, France.
The main Renault workshop in Malaysia is a dedicated 15-bay facility in Section 13, PJ. There are 11 other outlets across the country with the capability to service Renault cars. These outlets are Nissan centres equipped with the necessary CLIP diagnostics and tools to service Renaults.
It was also revealed that the Tan Chong parts centre near Batu Caves holds RM3 million worth of Renault parts, and parts ordered this morning will arrive the following day within the country, as it rides on Nissan’s well established network.
