Hi!
A little heads up for the 197 owners. I don't know if this kind of problem is common among Clio owners.
My beloved 197 gave me a scare couple of nights ago... Long story short. I tried to spray windscreen fluid on my windscreen, it didn't spay a couple of times and the stick felt a bit weird. When suddenly I felt a strong electrical burning smell. A Few seconds later lots of smoke started to come out from underneath the steering column covers. I stopped quickly and turned the car off.
After that the radio and wipers were not working anymore.
So I took the stalk apart and found this little bonfire.
For the radio, I hope that only the fuse has burned down.
Has anyone had this kind of problem in the past ?
Martin
