  • Experience Renault Grand Espace Diesel

    Hello dear motor-talker, I am thinking of buying a used Grand Espace (from the year 2007) with diesel engine (2.0 or 2.2 liters) as a replacement for my Ford Galaxy. In many (pan)statistics, the Espace is not very good. It is often said that this concerns above all the older models and the quality of newer models should be quite right. Could you tell me about your experience with the Espace? – How reliable is your Espace? – Where tra – What is the actual consumption of a used Grand Espace (from the year 2007) with diesel engine (2.0 or 2.2 liters)? I never trust the dealer’s details. – Would you buy an Espace again or are you burned children and would you leave your fingers off this car in the future? ……. Looking forward to your honest feedback. Gruss Spacepete

  • Questions about Espace (purchasing advice)

    Hello you dear Renault experts, in advance, there is a search function and there are certainly many written about it, but I still want to ask the following question(s) and hope for an answer. I want to buy a “new” used car. I have to transport some saddles, that is, the rear seats must be out and I need space. I am on the highway a lot, so it should be a diesel and an automatic. After some consideration I am on the Espace od I really liked the Grand Espace with its really good equipment and its space. In addition, I want to be able to pull a horse hanger in an emergency and also there would be enough for me the 2t trailer load of the Renault. I think of a vehicle in a price range below 5000,- EUR, I know that is not much, but there is no more. Now my question. It is always to be read that one leaves the fingers of the 2,2l dci and the 3l dci s The cars in my price range ran on average around 200,000 km, which I could live with, because it certainly won’t be the last car. So what exactly is so bad about the engines? What happens with it? I read somewhere that someone said, “they only run 150,000 km then they go up…”. That can’t be the case with them then, they already ran more. So we assume in the best case that the timing belt was changed and the car was “halfway” reasonably maintained. What can happen to the engines then so bad? I hope and look forward to answers.

  • Ignition coils “cable tree” – wobble contact

    Hello professionals and hobby screwdriver, I am the André from Berlin and not exactly the professional or hobby screwdriver. I have a Renault Megane 1.6 16V with a Prins LPG gas system, BJ/ day of first registration 10.2001 – If relevant HSN 3004/587 . Read here for some time and I was explained one or the other thereby. For this thank you to all! Anyway, like many others I also have the problem with restless motor running in the stand when it runs on petrol. The engine purrs like a kitten. If I want to start the car in the morning, it needs between 3-6 runs, partly the engine jerks when it approaches and chokes again. After a few try it then catches itself and the speed goes in cold condition from 1000-1200 revolutions down to 750-780 approx. The engine runs restlessly, and from the exhaust comes then a buffer (stronger emission of exhaust gas) but no bang, in the same cycle as the engine runs restlessly. hnumber 1500-2000 revolutions, purrs the engine. At a certain temperature, the Prins LPG system switches on and the engine is completely relaxed. I turn it off or again on petrol the engine runs restless. Speed drops down to about 550-600 then goes fixed to constant 750-780 revolutions. What I have done to date: 1: throttle valve cleaned 2:Instructions changed because the old total failure had changed about 3 weeks ago. 3:Gaspedal Poti changed, because according to odb2 an error message ka m P0120 (Fig.1). Have a partially electronic accelerator pedal (gas pedal-built train engine room/ Gaspoti) 4: spark plugs changed/ from NKG diode distance 0.9 5: ignition coils changed / from Beru After changing spark plugs and ignition coils suddenly the MKL flashed. Anyway, everything was removed and controlled again, spark plugs are a bit black but not oily or damp. Ignition coils also look normal. According to Odb2 error message 0300 (See picture 2) error code I then deleted. Have the cables d I looked at the ignition coils and they don’t look fit, some of the ribbed protective sheath fell apart. I then when the engine ran in petrol operation the individual power cable which leads to the injection valves/nozzles sometimes moved and determined that on the cable to the injection valve/nozzle 4 (motor monitor left ) is a wobble contact. If I move the cable up towards the ignition coil “wheeps” the engine, I move it down the engine from and the MKL is coming and the motor is turning with approx. 1700-2000 revolutions. Wiring Picture 3. My question which cables do I have to buy or where do I get them from? Ignition coils harness? Thank you for your help and tips!

  • Megane II Cabrio

    Hi ho, Since my 20-year-old Opel Vectra is not very fun and looks like nothing, I wanted to get something different at the end of the year. Since my girlfriend has been driving a completely problem-free Dacia Sandero for a year now and I just like the Megane optics, this is also in short choice. Since I want to invest about 5000 euros for a running, fully functional car would probably be a 2005, 2006 model with almost 100,000 mileage in it. Wg warranty preferred v om Merchant. Now the questions to the professionals among you; Do you get a usable for 5000 at all? What are you paying attention to? (generally and possibly model weak spots) Even more what you should know? MfG

  • “Check exhaust system” and nothing clever in the fault memory

    Moin dear people, I’ve also had this message on display for a few weeks now. In my case, it’s been very restless for a few weeks in the cold start, as if it only runs on three pots when it’s warm it’s gone again…. With the beauty error that the well 2 liters diesel needs more than usually noticeably less power and also shows nothing from time to time to the current consumption display, so not o,o but -.-! to the vehicle: Renault Grand Scenic III JZ/01 1.5DCI 106 PS 256000 KM and recently timing belts new, turbo new, brakes new, battery new exhaust temperature sensor new, air filter, oil filter and diesel filter new, brake fluid new. Error was deleted two weeks ago and has been popped up again today. I was advised now also to replace the injection nozzles, but the parts to be tested do not even notice in the error message. So far I am very satisfied with the car because it is quite reliable and my daily n school paths (120km back and 120km back) is also very cheap. I only wanted to get a second opinion from you, because I had already invested a lot the last 2 months. PS. I only refuel good fuel. Nix Real tank because there 2 cents cheaper!

  • Scenic 2 1.6 16v jerks

    Drive the Scenic for 6 years. All customer service at Renault since then in order to be bold and guarantee. After 4 years then timing belt change was due. The workshop demanded 800€. A friend of mine worked at Renault at the time, but in another place. He suggested that he would repair my vehicle at the weekend for 450€ (dental belt, water pump etc ). For 2 years the car runs perfectly. Has it done great. Unfortunately I no longer have any contact with this mechanic since he When I drove to my Renault dealer, I was told that the camshaft adjuster was defective and that timing belt changes had to be made again. I went to a free workshop and they changed the ignition coil and the car ran again without problems. Now again for a few weeks the Scenic is jerking at half-gas. Renault dealer closed the vehicle to the tester and says camshaft adjuster and timing belt changes 800€. In the beginning it was called camshaft adjuster. Also connected there to the engine tester. Bosch Service demanded 360€ for the reperture. No talk about timing belt lizard. I agreed to the reperture. When I came to pick up the car I was very surprised. The master said that everything was fine on the vehicle. It had to be an electronic problem. I had to pay nothing. Apparently, everyone was checked. They thought I should try driving it would be according to the mechanics It was much better than before, but not like before. The car used to run like on velvet. It’s a garage car and very well maintained. It only has 58000Km. The jerking is now less and less. The performance is somehow lacking. I think about driving another Renault workshop. My previous dealer has been making the timing belt somewhere else a little different. He always wants to change the timing belt. Has one a tip.

  • Idle in the stand too high

    The engine speed is almost 3000 rpm, if the engine is warm. Otherwise the speed is too high, but at 1200-1500 and thus much more “quiet”, i.e. bearable. Now I have renewed all the controllers in question, etc., but it does not matter. The error picture is strange. When I drive and take the gear out, the idle speed swings around 1800, only when the vehicle is standing or almost standing, the speed goes up. is really embarrassing to stand at the traffic lights or roll into a parking lot and the engine spins like Oskar…… so please help, there is no side air / leaks, hoses and clamps almost all exchanged.

  • Renault Scenic 2 1.6 16V K4M P0313 restless idle

    Hello, I have a Renault Scenic 2 1.6 16V the vehicle runs very restless in idling. From 1000 rpm everything is fine. Error memory says P0313 misignition with fuel deficiency and tacts again and again. The vehicle has a gas system of the error occurs on petrol as well as on gas. 4X spark plugs and 4X ignition coils as well as the throttle valve were changed no error. Had someone similar problem with the K4M engine Dear greetings

  • Megane 97: Cracking in the air

    Moin my Megane (Bj 97, Classic, 1.6 75hp) leaves me no rest. Since today my ventilation “cracks” when I turn on the air (no matter if the air is on or off) The ventilation seems to “turn on” (is getting louder) then it cracks once or twice, is quiet again and then turns on again until it “cracks” The phenomenon only occurs when the air is switched on and seems to come out of the area below the windshield. I suspect that there is the blower engine there? Does someone have something similar to this? Does anyone know what that might be? And of course what would cost a reperture? Thank you Mfg Pirke

  • How much KM mileage Scenic dCi 130 1.9l FAP Dynamique

    Good day together, I would like to get some advice here in this forum.And I’m happy about a tip.We want to buy another used Renault and spend a maximum of €4,000. We’ll look at a Scenic for the coming weeks and have only had experience with the Mégane petrol (old models, reliable) This time we want to buy a Scenic with 131 hp, first registration September 2011, kilometers 261000, diesel. It’s important to us that we have long rides in the Url A maximum of 20.00 km a year, of which 1 times a year to Croatia or France and 1-2 times within Germany.) The car costs 3,350 €. TÜV new. Well-kept checkbook, only Renault workshop. Timing belts new. from 1st hand. 1,870 displacement. Question: With how much mileage can one expect with a diesel with this engine about maximum, if it was treated carefully. The dealer said that these engines can easily afford 500,000. Can I with about 400,000 km. I would say that despite the 261,000 km the car is worthwhile. I would be very grateful about your opinion.
