Hello! Our Espace BJ 2004 has already suffered an engine damage at 115,000km. Our Espace has a soot particulate filter since the beginning of March. At the beginning of April there was a routine oil change. On the journey into the Easter holidays the penultimate week has then suddenly a clacker on the engine. We then continued with 80km/h and at the next exit down from the highway. At first the clacking was quite quiet then became increasingly louder. No warning people pointed to a problem! The man called to help from the next Renault dealer suspected a valve damage. He also noticed that on the engine oil snippet in the engine compartment the wrong engine oil was on it. So none of that is intended for cars with soot particulate filters. But I do not know if cars with which the filter is retrofitted then also need this other engine oil. Then the good man drove away again, because he no spare vehicle that could have stored our holiday luggage, for us and for the next week obviously already had too many orders – and moreover it was already Friday evening! Then we called our Renault dealer in our place of residence, who made the filter installation and the oil change. He offered to bring his Espace demonstration car by us for exchange. So he came the 250 km with the demonstration car on the trailer to the motorway exit I don’t think that many car dealers will deliver a car 250km to their customers on Friday evening. After all, I now know what the mobility guarantee is!;-) Today, the dealer then informed us that the engine is completely gone and costs a replacement engine with installation 10,000€. He suspects a crankshaft bearing damage. Supposedly, however, he did not “open” the engine at all. In addition, he gave us a I don’t know what to think of all this now. I find €10,000 a bit fierce. Why shouldn’t I ask the Renault customer service if it’s normal for their cars to rip up the huff after 115,000km? It’s something that’s unsavory. That’s our fourth and most impressive espace. We’ve always been very satisfied with it. What do you think about it?
