Renault Scenic 2

The second generation of Renault Scenic replaced its predecessor in 2003. The seven-seat version of the compact van received the designation Grand Scenic. In 2006, the model underwent restyling, during which many technical problems were solved. In 2010, Scenic gave way to the third generation.

Engines

Today, Renault Scenic attracts many with a low price and roomy interior. The most popular diesel versions, especially with the 1.5 DCI engine. But it should be borne in mind that in Russia Scenic diesel engines were not officially sold. The diesel park is represented by “Europeans”, who ran a year at least 30 thousand km. And on the odometer instead of the real 120-150 thousand km after crossing the border often remained 60-80 thousand km. The long service interval of oil replacement on European cars 20-30 thousand km could not but affect the longevity of the engine. The most anticipated trouble for a turbo diesel 1.5 DCI after 150-200 thousand km is the rolling of rod liners. The appearance of knocks after starting an unheated engine or with increasing speeds clearly indicates the need to open the pallet to inspect the liners. Even better: Preventively replace the liners when running more than 150 thousand km. Renault is aware of the problem and the warranty period for Scenic with this engine in Europe has been increased to 7 years or 180,000 km, instead of the usual 5 years or 100,000 km. Not bypassed this ailment and versions with a turbodiesel 1.9 DCI. However, such faults on this engine occur less often and when running more than 250-300 thousand km. The cost of a set of new inserts is only about 700-1000 rubles. The new crankshaft will cost 45-60 thousand rubles. But enough of its grinding - 2-5 thousand rubles. For work in the usual service will ask about 4-5 thousand rubles. The full list of works at official service stations is estimated at 20-25 thousand rubles.

Transmission

5 and 6-speed manual transmissions do not cause trouble. The clutch of the gearbox serves more than 150 thousand km. The cost of the new set is about 6-9 thousand rubles, dealers - about 25-30 thousand rubles.

The 4-speed DP0 automatic was paired only with gasoline engines. Problems with the box could appear after 60-100 thousand km. As a rule, everything began with small twitches, and then ended with going into emergency mode. The culprits of the "celebrations" are electromagnetic valves, less often a hydrotransformer. The cost of recovery box about 20 thousand rubles. After restyling in 2006, the machine became a little more enduring, and the first problems appeared a little later: after 100-150 thousand km.

Walking

The suspension rarely requires attention to 100-150 thousand km, not counting the racks and bushings of the stabilizer. The first to surrender the suspension levers: Silent blocks and ball. The new original lever in the collection costs about 5 thousand rubles, the analogue - about 2-3 thousand rubles. For the 4th Silentblock front levers will ask about 1-1.5 thousand rubles. After 140-180 thousand km, the front depreciation racks begin to leak (2-3 thousand rubles). At the same time, you will have to replace the bearings (the original is about 4 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 1000-1500 rubles). For the replacement of the silenth blocks of the subframe will have to pay about 3-5 thousand rubles, and the rear beam - about 4-7 thousand rubles. When running more than 150-200 thousand km often breaks off the upper turn of the rear springs (original - 5-7 thousand rubles, analogue - 1-2 thousand rubles).

After 140-180 thousand km, the steering rack often begins to knock. The reason for the knocking is wear of the sleeve in the right part of the rake. The cost of restoration is about 3-5 thousand rubles.

Sometimes there are problems with the proper functioning of the automatic parking brake (electric hand): the pads do not completely diverge, and the car slows down. Causes of malfunction: souring of the cable, gearbox or malfunction of the dual relay on the control board. The cost of a new fee with a gearbox is about 25-30 thousand rubles.

Other problems and malfunctions

Body iron Renault Scenic is not prone to corrosion, the metal does not bloom for a long time in the places of chips. Sometimes the hood lock ceases to close or opens with difficulty. Half-measure: before closing, pull the tongue of the lock. Often, lubricating the lock helps restore its efficiency. Over time, it begins to poorly cope with its task of brushing the windshield wiper from the passenger side. The reason is the wear of the trapezoid leash bearing. The cost of the bearing is 100-150 rubles. Due to the wedging of the valve of the flux switch, the washing liquid ceases to operate the washer of the rear window. Often the heating element of side mirrors fails. The cost of new glass is about 500 rubles. Due to clogged drainage under the wings, water can enter the cabin through the air intake. Then the water falls on the control unit of the fan of the climate unit, where the field transistor burns out. For the new block will have to pay about 4 thousand rubles, and for the work on its replacement about 2 thousand rubles. In addition, the prolonged presence of water in the cabin inevitably leads to oxidation and corrosion of the connector contacts under the driver's seat. In this case, there are problems with the electric parking brake and electric windows. The failure of the dashboard is a common phenomenon: the image flickers or disappears, the readings are reset. The cost of the new panel is about 30 thousand rubles. But the extinct panel can be revived: soldering tracks, resistors and a field transistor. The cost of work is about 5-6 thousand rubles.
