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?

Hello, I just wanted to hear your opinion. I have a Grand Espace 2,2 dci initiale with 150 Ps and 150tkm down. Must say, full workshop picking at the Renault dealer. Every year oil changes, customer service, just everything with cover even in the book (stamp). If the problem I got in the engine a clinking noise, you have heard for months, sounds a bit louder and defective, but my dealer said after a detailed examination, 2 days in the car dealer’s house I should leave it that way, It’s nothing bad, I’m just supposed to watch whether it gets louder or quieter. It’s been 4-5 months now and the noise hasn’t changed. I’m already driving 3 thousand kilometers at the time. It’s going through full and runs normal. What do you think of the statement. You think you can trust it. I’m not an experienced espace driver, I just switched to this car, which is a real wonder of space. I’d be happy about your opinion. Mfg and thank you Fire power

Hello, so I have a huge problem, and that’s what our >Espace doesn’t really want to pull. I’m already wondering what it can be about. So when I start everything completely normal. Then I drive on and if I just let go of the clutch and then want to give gas, then it doesn’t accelerate. So little bs. I drive on, 20kmh I step clutch switch into the 2nd gear, let clutch go and go on the gas. But then nothing comes. Only after 2 seconds after the completed coupler advance This is sometimes really annoying, because when you feed on the mountain, you switch and until the car pulls again, it has lost 10-15kmh of speed again. And then I can switch back again. Well then I was at the Wrkstatt and they made a date first. And then the car was with them all week long, and then the data controller read out, re-described, exchanged an air volume meter, a k abelbaum changed and filled them then also. Nice nice. Only now a week after this visit it was already again and I have to say, I find the workshop stupid. Now I have paid so much for something, what can it still be??? I have now heard from another workshop, I should learn to re-learn the ECU. How exactly is this procedure to be carried out? plus cable of the battery from and wait 10 minutes, and then start again and run 5 minutes la eat and then go through the speed range and drive 50km differently. ? That’s how I read it at a different car manufacturer? Do you have any tips for me??

Does anyone know a Renault workshop in the district of Mönchengladbach, Viersen Krefeld, Neuss, which understands itself on the 2.2l 150 hp engine of the Espace 4? After now three workshops have experimented at my expense without having solved the problem (black smoke), I hope to get a tip here where I can get competent help.
