Hello and Happy’s New Year ahead. Got a problem with my Espace 3.0dCi, automatic, diesel, built in 2006: At acceleration, or at gradients the power drops. The speed drops, the car starts to jerk easily, then calms down again, sinks again, etc. When I try it with a kickdown it goes completely to the knees, but not out. When driving evenly, you megt that the car accelerates slightly at intervals and then slumps again. t no error message, also the workshop analysis has found no errors. The whole for the first time half a year ago > guess fuel supply > filter replaced > everything ok again. Then 3 weeks ago the same problem > after about a week without treatment everything normal again. And now again. error analysis again without finding. Last guess of the Renault workshop: Bad diesel fuel: Due to the ecological parts bacteria can exist, whose waste products filters, nozzles or sons twas clogged with deposits. This is especially the case with cheap fuel stations. Recommendation: use only Aral Diesel ultimate (the most expensive, mmh of all). I’m a little skeptical about this, it would have to go like this innumerable (i.e. millions) other cars, the min oil industry would have reacted to this in order not to lose market shares, or is there only the Espace particularly sensitive? Does anyone have an idea or corresponding information? Thank you

How for heaven’s sake you get that strap-on-pips away. According to Renault, this can’t be done because otherwise the electronics will fail. From 10 kmh the shit starts to beep and gets louder and louder. Thank you for your help. Good New Year wishes you all Peter

Hello, I’m actually from the Opel Dickschiffliga, but I have to change to something else because of too many construction sites and that’s when the Grand Espace came into my eye. So my frankophile side of the car was awakened again. I had a CX at the beginning of the 90s 2x Citroen BX 14 and 19 and for a very long time. (dream car) Now to my question, there must be a diesel with automatic, (rigid right leg ) I need a lot of space and a trailer, he must be able to pull. The 3.0 is not good I was warned and the consumption would be very high, it would probably be an engine bought by Hyundai. What does the concentrated forum power mean which should I take, how are the average consumptions, how much tax gets “Willy wurger from the tax office” what is it about the reliability ? I am an old car.ler, but screw, is not so popular with me anymore. Questions about questions, i ho ffe you can help me

Since I am certainly not the only one whose radio cover, i.e. the middle flap over the glove compartment bulges upwards, I wanted to ask if and how sufferers have solved the problem. My friend has removed it with his method -completely and glue in- unfortunately only smeared up. I glued back with Pattex, it is now better, but everything is far from satisfactory. At the edges it is still arched and without fumbling on the upper edge the Abd Now I could get to a used but not curved flap relatively cheaply. Does someone know how to change it and how to prevent the “new” flap from arching again? My friend once said that you could try to completely lower the surface, scrape the foam under it and put it all back on it… Someone’s idea? I love the car, but this cover still brings me to the grave…

Hello and say hello to God in the forum! After 6 years of Renault Abstinenz I bought myself an Espace with the 3.0 diesel engine (Bj. 2003, 180000 km). It’s really great but: Sometimes, I observe, mostly when the engine is “handwarm”, it doesn’t start at all or only after a lot of organs. Then the first km (so 10 to 15) are only very emotional to travel, if you give too much gas he pushes, as if he would get too little fuel. This settles after some time and everything is all the more A “emergency program” is not displayed in the display. Warm-speed it starts well and cold as well. Does anyone know where I could start looking? As a layman I would suspect a “hanging” cold starter, or a non-opening fuel shut-off valve. The “rubberball” at the front right in the motror room can be pumped to a resistance when the engine is standing, after the start attempt or while no resistance is felt. So far I have tried the following: Before 3 T once added an “injector cleaner” and added 2 clock motor oil. (It runs really quieter afterwards and the jerking was completely gone, the above mentioned start problems but only for a week). Would such a cleaner help again? Thank you for all the answers!

I bought an Espace JK 2,0 Turbo (leasing back runner) BJ 11/02 a year ago. The car was not quite 4 years old, had 52000 km on the beautiful digital display, a brand new engine (900 km) and new brakes. I thought nothing could happen. FALSE! The following defects occurred on 10000 km: 1. immobilizer defective……………………… Costs incl. towing approx. 800 € 2. display defective. ………. ……….costs approx. 750 € …..Renault reimburses 300 € to Kulanz 3. Keycard defective…………………………….cost 180 € ………….was determined 4. Card reader defective……….costs would be approx.200 €, will not be exchanged, since the box still starts 5. Tray joint on the front axle over ………cost approx.100 € 6. Oil pipe to turbo leaks……….cost approx.250 €, warranty rejected despite the 11 months ago built engines with only 10000 ……………………………………………km mileage, Renault offers 100 € refund on culant, who has similar problems with Renault, respectively Espace? How is Renault i.S. culant/guarantee performance? When the box is running it is really fun and is super comfortable, nevertheless I think about a sale. Greetings from the Allgäu Claus

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

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.

has someone videos? photos? data and a video of 29 seconds I have. who are interested in some data….

Hello first had the following problem, my Espace 4 2,2ci had the error code P1125 charging pressure magnetic valve quantity to large.After that changed the charging pressure sensor and the solenoid valve because it always went in emergency drive.After that it was now for a time good and jumped only twice on the highway after some time into the emergency drive program, in the city traffic not at all.Now he jumps open again into the emergency drive program but only on the train Bergauf under load, afterwards after new start It also consumes a huge amount of oil about 1liter 100-250km smokes like sow when giving gas gray and white.Don’t know any more. Would be great to get a few tips from you.
