Summary for Potential Buyers or Current Owners

• If you are buying: Walk away if you see this code during a pre-purchase scan. It indicates the previous owner did not service the transmission. Repair costs can easily exceed the value of older Clios or Meganes.
• If you own it: Do not drive the car hard while this code is present. The slipping generates heat that can destroy the rest of the transmission internals.
• Recommendation: Change the fluid immediately. If the code persists, prepare for a torque converter rebuild or replacement.

If you are a driver who values smiles per gallon over straight-line speed, who enjoys the learning curve of managing lift-off oversteer, and who isn't afraid to rev an engine to its synapses, then go "Hot."
