That’s the older 23kw or thereabouts battery ?

Might be worth checking with where it’s been serviced if it’s got a full service history- Should have been in every year for one. I know our one has a five year warranty but not sure about the 2016 model- just be sure it’s battery owned and hasn’t had a bang at some stage.

Second everything adunis says above- great little cars, undoubtedly the most underrated ev on the market. Il be sad to part with ours.

Says battery owned and looks spotless too.

172 ZE40 with a heating fault and no warm air, just cooling (I tried heating the sensor to switch from air co to heating but made no difference). Rang Renault and while it is under warranty still, their process is:

1) bring car in to evaluate fault

2) decide if that fault part is covered under warranty or not

3) if not you pay a 140-odd diagnostics fee, if yes all good

Anyone had this problem here avec sa petite Zoe? I'll probably just drive the 200km to the garage where I bought it SH last year and get it fixed there under their garage warranty.

My '15 had issues with it a few years ago. I brought it into Renault Belgard (only one I'd trust TBH) and they did a software update. No issues since then. It's warm even in ECO mode which was abysmal beforehand. That sensor trick is a load of shite. Unless you're getting wild readings on the car's outside temperature your sensor is fine - it's the software. Heating it up like that could break it.

I actually just did the R-Link update (it had the stuck time issue) but must check the car system too. Didn't change the heating issue. Have an OBD2 scanner in post so will try CANZE with that to check heating subsystem.

Just to add to this, with heating on (ECO off) the heat pump stays at 0 rpm and does not rise about 3 bar pressure, so it is probably a gas leak or an electrical fault which stops the heat pump from operating. There are some general DTCs (with Car Scanner app on Android) P0411 (secondary air injection), P1525 (air bypass valve system) and other unrelated body control module issues, then CANZE app on IOS reports a few electric power driver DTCs, but I can't interpret them and they have no visible timestamps. Of course, clearing them would mess up the diagnostics process, so not much else to do and one for the mechanics under warranty.

Software reprogramming at the Renault garage fixed it under warranty. No parts needed and no charge.

Leaf owner here folks, recommending a Zoe to one of my friend :D

This is available online at the moment: https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/renault-zoe-dynamique/33516448

If I asked the seller to get a SOH report from the garage is that reasonable / possible?

Anything else to ask for?

The garages are generally useless at that stuff. You/they can check with the canZE app and a bluetooth OBD2 reader.

I would check with them if the battery is still leased or if it's battery owned. The price would indicate leased. This is a pain in the arse so would move on if it has the lease. It can be bought out from Mobilize (formerly RCI) but they are extremely slow to deal with.

The OBD2 port on the 22/40 Zoe is under the rubber mat in front of the gear lever. Use a card to remove the mat.
