Renault Scenic 1.9DCi

would never recommend this car, all electric windows have now gone, quote £400 each window by Renault garage! Renault are aware of the design fault and as a good will gesture!! offer you a percentage paid by them, NOT GOOD ENOUGH RENAULT!!!!! they are well aware of this fault in these cars so they should do the right thing I pay for the whole thing to be fixed, if it was the brakes or something the cars would be recalled and fixed for free, this should be the same ,i cant believe they actually think they are doing YOU a favour by doing it as a discount, will never buy another Renault again.

the windows motors can break on this cars but its easy to fix yourself.

i got this car with to broken regulators just done a research how to fix them cost me £60 .

but having fixed that I am quite pleased so far with the car.

I've owned this car for 2.5 years and paid £5500 for it but I can honestly say that this is the worst car I've ever bought and I will not be buying another Renualt ever. I've been to the main dealer 7 times as windows keep dropping and each time parts were changed and the problems fixed (bearing in mind there are only 4 openable windows on the car!!). Driving at night on the M5 and the dashboard went out, meaning I didn't know what speed I was travelling at, how much fuel was left etc. - Renualt paid some money towards the cost of replacing the dashboard but it still cost me £100. The dashboard and window issues should be sorted free of charge as they are such a common fault. Then the turbo has gone and Renualt want an astronomical amount of money to fix it. Depreciation is also terrible as I was offered £850 part ex as my milage is up to 150000 (based on the thing being fixed and roadworthy). Renualt should recall all these cars and scrap them which is what I'm doing with mine this week.

After many breakdowns a new engine.. and pretty much most things changed... its back in the garage again! most unrealiable car i have ever had the pleasure of owning

All the windows broke and was recalled for seat belt problems, engine computer went, all of theses were fixed under warranty and extended warranty. then turbo went which caused damager to engine, so a recon engine and new turbo were fitted by Renault garage along with a new fly wheel and clutch. €5500. Soon after a part that connects front wheel to steering fell of onto the road this was due to threads being reamed of by Renault garage. I repaired this my self as did not want to to take it back to the same garage. soon after it developed an oil leak on the sump. took it to a different Renault garage. They put mastic round the sump some of which squeezed into the bottom of the sump and blocked the oil pump which caused the big end to go. These are just the main problems. The same turbo problem seems to be very common here in France where I live both with UK and French cars. And all French mechanic tell you not to buy one.

This is not just a car for me it is sience

very intelligent(all that features) and extreamly

comfortable.It is the strongest friendliest 2.0l

i ever drive.

now that i am in a position to buy this type of cars

i will never buy something else.

thanks RENAULT SCENIC 2.0 PRIVILLAGE it is realy a privillage

to have you in my presence

Bought my 2001 1.9 DCi a year ago, and so far I've encountered none of the problems that people write about on various internet forums.

Mine was a 1 lady owner car, ( I rang her to confirm it.) with full service history, and it came with 108k miles on the clock. I've just passed the 119k miles mark, and it's just had a minor service to keep the book up to date, and it's been so good at the time of writing. It regularly returns 45mpg, and I've had it up to 52mpg when driving sensibly. With the back seats removed, it's like a large van, and has carried an array of large items with ease.

Although mine is only the Alize model, it came with power steering, remote central locking, twin sunroofs, air con electric front windows and I sourced a 6 multi changer cd player, with all the leads and under seat draw, for £35 off E.Bay, and fitted it in under an hour.

I looked around before purchasing one, and yes there are some rough ones out there, but look carefully, and you will find a one that's been looked after, don't rush into it.

OK so it's never going to win the traffic light grand prix, but for a car that's so versatile, you can't fault it. I certainly can't to date.

Would I buy another of the same model? Yes, if I could find one as good as mine, and alright it is a Renault, but it's no worse that some other big names out there.

I have a 2007 1.9 diesel Grande Scenic bought through Motor Provider at a big discount four years ago. It is a fantastic family car with a great view out for the kids when they were little and storage areas for everything. Now the kids are older there is huge space for an entire drum kit and other musical parapheralia. Great performance from the big diesel and average of about 45 mgp on a long run and about 38mpg on the school run. Light bulbs occasionally fail and the radio has lost the security code every time the temperature has dropped to minus 5C this winter. Renault have just offered to replace the radio free of charge. I have received excellent service from Wokingham Motors over the years with very reasonable prices. They recently replaced a tyre free of charge after accepting that they had not set the tracking correctly. My wife wants to buy another Grande Scenic to replace this one later this year. Sorry to hear about other people's bad experiences but cars are mass produced to a price and there is always going to be the rogue.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ! I PAID 9 GRAND FOT THIS CAR AND HAVE SPENT A FORTUNE ON IT. Instrument cluster coost over £400, problems with valves, air con not working, gave garage £350 yesterday to fix some bits now need to find another £800 to replace engine bush, dangerous to drive. Absolute rubbish car, will never buy another Renault. I see other people have mentioned wipers not cleaning all the windscreen, I have this problem too. In fact one of my wipers flew right off one day. Anyone else who has had instrument cluster do you know that Renault will now give you back £300 if you have receipt and proof of ownership, thats if you are unfortunate enough to still own the car. Don't know how I would get rid of it, I could'nt sell it on to anyone, as I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Oh forget to mention the engine pulleys are faulty now too and the exhaust is hanging off. OH yes and be prepared to fork out for lightbulbs every month or so, I have other cars and never had so many bulbs replaced. If you still want to buy a Grand Scenic after this ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE READ IT MAY SAVE YOU LOTS OF ££££. Ive got a December 2004 Scenic 1.5DCI 80 BHP WITH FAULTY ELECTRIC NEARSIDE WINDOWS.

FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT THAT IF YOUR CAR HAS FAULTY ELECTRIC WINDOWS IE DROP INTO DOOR CAVITY NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN & YOUR CAR IS UNDER 7 YEARS OLD & UNDER 100,000 MILES RENAULT WILL REPAIR WITH A SMALL CUSTOMER CONTRIBUTION OF (IM QUOTED £60-£70) TO FIX. THIS IS A £300 JOB & THIS REPAIR BY RENAULT I DONT THINK IS WELL PUBLICISED & I WANT EVERYONE TO BE AWARE. WHATEVER RENAULT YOU OWN IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH YOUR WINDOWS & YOUR CAR IS UNDER 7 & UNDER 100,000 ITS WORTH CHECKING. I would also recommend ringing two or three main dealers to see if they all tell you the same thing.
