When i got my 2013 Zoe about a moth ago I have my suspicions that the TCU is not working as it should I cannot remember fully but the charging schedules seemed greyed out i think and online services like weather etc kept saying please try later and the bars said connected i think but the signal bars were not lit.
Car has already been in garage for 4 weeks with A/C fault and I was thinking of mentioning about that i think the TCU has a problem but i dont want this car away in the garage for any minute more than is needed . They have to remove the whole dash dont they just to get to the TCU unit which i believe is at top of dash just to right of r-link radio?
What are my implications of not having it working? - not too bothered about remote or timed charging, I would like the pre-conditioning but is that done by the TCU? - is the traffic updates done by TCU?
and what about battery rental /RCi ... what if they cannot log onto the TCU of the car... what happens there about charging etc ?
I suppose the answer is no, and if it is possible then Renault would be doing it instead of removing the whole dash, but if the r-link was removed from the dash would that gain any access to the TCU by reaching right up into the dash to where the TCU is located so even if i could , I dunno remove the SIM card and clean the contacts or remove the sim card and replace to see if that works... is that possible maybe?
