  2. Noises, jerks or cut-outs from the hybrid transmission (early 140 hp)

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    On early Clio E-Tech 140 hp cars, owners report noises, jerks and cut-outs, dealt with depending on the case by replacing the ECU or the gearbox. L'argus mentions the replacement of the hybrid gearbox to eliminate a noise. The 145 hp version, with revised management, is described as smoother.
