welcome to this week's video in this week's video it's time for the Zoe to
have a service
so it's that time of year again it's time to service the car this
would be the third service this cars had the second that I've done so I booked it
in using the rental booking website I always choose this option because it
means that the dealer doesn't try and make the price for the Zoe on the spot
and it also using instant price and option to organise collection Renault
offer free collection on all services so you if you book by the website it's in
the description and you can book the book online it gives you a price etc and
ask you what extras you want and you get a set menu price you can even select
a courtesy car collection or drop-off I always pick collection because I can't
be bothered taking the car there they pick the car up and drop it off later now
last time I had the car service it have nine and a half thousand miles on and as
of today I've got sixteen thousand eight hundred and thirty miles so a little bit
of mileage and but not tremendous amounts of miles but I've done a little
bit of mileage so they'll be picking this car up shortly and doing the
service which is the A service which is 65-pound from Renault lockers and that
should be picked up very shortly now there's a few bits on the car that are
causing a few issues that I want Renault to look at White's in and
hopefully get fixed number one there's a little bit of roll way up while driving
so I'm assuming that the anti-roll bushes have gone
so I'll get them to check them and see and find out although it wasn't know it
on the MOT so it might be something else the other thing I've noticed recently
was there's a little bit of rust underneath the bonnet catch on the far
right-hand corners on more a little bit more shown on the right than it is on
the left but there's a little bit there so I'd rather get it done under Renault's
anti-corrosion warranty why i can spot it the other thing is the old common
Renault badges have started to peel on the front it was a little bit at the
last year but it wasn't as bad and now it's got a real
bad it's really starting to flake off so when I asked them to replace them now
I'm going to ask them to also replace the rear badges at the same time as the
front because if you replace the front badge the new badges just plain silver
and then the back badges will be blue so I kind of want the front and rear badges
to match so I've asked them to are going to replace both the front and back or
fit me a new front blue badge which they won't so they'll replace all the badges
in the warranty so I've just had a call from Renault lookers in Stockport to let
me know that the role that they they're I could feel on the car they reckon it's
down to the tyres being an abnormal shape now I know the front tyres are
getting quite low on grip so they've note the two front tires and
also an off side rear I've told them not to fit any tyres I'm gonna sort them out
myself i can source much cheaper tyres and what Renault
will charge me obviously I'm gonna fit the the EV tyres or I might fit some
cross climate tyres which are also compatible I'll try and put a link description down
below of the two tyres that are compatible with the size rim that I have
on my car and hopefully that helps a few of you out the other thing they ask me
is do I want to replace the 12-volt battery because they said it's a
recommended service replacement item I said no because what they want to charge
even with a dealer discount on that is far too much than what I can be able to
source it I also asked them to test the battery and ask them if it's in working
order they said yeah it's still working it's just a recommended replacement part
so I've told to leave it alone I ain't paying for that so leaving the
battery alone and probably going to source for myself maybe in another six
months just before the winter hits just in case it does start to get to the
point where it fails but the moment is in tip-top condition I'll probably keep
an eye on it as well but more than likely I'll replace it before the winter
you do not have to change it at Renault you can change it yourself
don't let them try to force you to saying it's a required item it's not
required it's a recommended item you should do it after three years because
most the 12-volt battery systems are probably getting close to being
knackered but mine's still going to be perfect working order we're currently
going through a heatwave in the UK and cold kills 12-volt batteries not heat
so it should be fine well cars back and it's all fine all works fine
everything's great paid exactly the price on the Internet
you rang me up paid it and delivered the car absolutely fantastic well done
better than last time when i asked for the BMS to be done this time service I
mean to be fair the service is basically just a check on a Zoe there's not much
to do they check the brake pads and all the other bits now while on
the brake pads very notable thing brake wear on the Renault's ZOE next to
nothing absolutely minimal I think there's been 10% wear of the
original capacity of the brake pads and were on 16500 miles I
don't reckon it is 10% I reckon they just put 10% because they
think that's the easiest number to write doesn't really say much lets have a quick look it's just
basically got a green tick and it says I'll say if it says 100 percent or 10
percent so 100% nowhere or 10 percent wear which is obviously next to nothing
I actually do try and use the brake pads on this to keep the disc clean so I
occasionally slam it nice and hard every now and again especially on wet weather
just to give the disc a bit of a cleanup now the reason it doesn't use any
friction material same in any other electric car it's because it uses regen
the regen goes back into the car hybrids do it as well but electric cars
obviously of course do it that's how you get the extra miles every now and again
now the Zoe regen works completely different to other cars I have explained
it before but I'll go into it again if you let go of the accelerator you're
gets partial regen the more brake pad you apply the more regen you will get
and then eventually you engage the friction material on other electric cars
it doesn't work like that you let go and you got full regen straight away but the
Zoe's a bit more clever I prefer it because in winter driving it means you
don't slip as much now another thing I've noticed on the dash of the Zoe
which will help you monitor the regen is this if you like me and use this
screen when you're driving which I prefer how you follow the best and the
indicator noise is the least annoying when you're driving and taking power out
it goes green here and then that's when you're really accelerating hard and you
get into towards purple mode but you'll get green
here the blue bit will display how much regen you're getting in a visual nice
big screen - thing that you can get so the more regen you get the more blue
you get down here now I will demonstrate it but I haven't got a camera rig to
hold it towards my steering wheel and it's very easy for you to demonstrate
when you're driving anyway it just basically starts light you're not blue
all the way down so all this gray bit goes completely blue now there's a
another way of displaying the regen which is just here on the right hand
side if I flick through this screen here direct consumption so when you're
driving and taking power out you'll get a plus figure kilowatts out and when
you're regen you'll get a minus blue figure showing power going back into the
battery this is both screens are quite useful but I mean I prefer to drive with
basically any of us yeah we have reset service indicator I prefer to look at
driving with the averages and working out what my mpkwh is and
stuff like that but you can drive with the direct consumption but if not you
can still use this screen here for the direct consumption as well thank you so
much do Pete Coventry for subscribing to my patreon account at $30 a month that
is a huge help and hopefully I'll be able to put it shortly towards new
camera equipment and other things and also maybe helps me do some more shows
and stuff like that if you're not a patreon please consider clicking the
