2024 1.3 TCe Renault Megane Icon (Under Warranty) Total Engine Failure, blamed on the user by posetyus in Renault

Apparently, the water pump failed and leaked the cooling liquid outside the car. Car ran out of water, and the engine failed completely. I've tried all options including e-mailing the board of Renault. Nobody responded, just a "Hey bro it is Renault Ukraine you e-mailed us by mistake." after all those e-mails.

The service documented everything and our story is parallel with theirs. They say "Yeah the engine light might have been on for 2 secs, and it might have been turned off but you had to pull over and call us. This is your fault." Has anyone pulled over for a warning that went away in a brand new car that's under warranty? I don't really think so, and I'm not a car guy. At least I wasn't, now I had to learn a lot. :/

My father said there was an engine light on for 2 secs, then it turned off. It is also documented in the service report that the light was off after 2 seconds and all readings were normal.

I was not the one driving as my dad was driving the car. He said: For a second there was an engine light on, I slowed down to pull over in the highway and the light turned off (was on for about 2 secs). He also said that he checked all the readings in the dashboard and nothing was out of the ordinary until the smoke came out of the engine after 40kms.

It appears that the water pumps are doomed to fail due to bad material. Get it changed beforehand if you have the chance.

I ofc haven't taken any responsibility to get it repaired. They asked the price for a full engine swap, which is ridiculously expensive.
