Brand new Renault Duster Turbo CVT | Transmission oil leak
Posting this as I am trying to figure out the root cause for an issue with my recently purchased Renault Duster Turbo CVT.
On 15 May, I was travelling with my family from Noida to Uttarkhand in our 1 month old Duster. We drove for about 5 hours and made a stop at Rudrapur border to show our Covid e-pass. After doing the formalities, we started off but after driving a few kms, the car suddenly lost power and started to slow down. I quickly pulled the car to the left and brought it to a halt. The car s engine seemed to be revving fine but very little power was being transferred to the wheels in D or R modes. On engaging D, it just a moved a little bit and after that anymore revs didn t make the car budge an inch. The gear indicator was showing D and some weird characters in between.

Synopsis
The 12-page advisory explains how Covid-19 is an airborne disease which can be transmitted through aerosols and not just droplets or surface transmission and makes a case for ventilating all indoor areas even when the air conditioning is running.
The government has advised double masking, preferably with N-95, sanitation, ventilation and social distancing as ways to ‘crush’ the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic raging across the country.
The office of the Principal Scientific Adviser, Professor K. VijayRaghavan, issued the detailed guidelines, “Stop the Transmission, Crush the Pandemic - masks, distance, sanitation and ventilation to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus” on Thursday morning as India recorded 2.76 lakh cases and the fatalities fell under 4000.
