Espace Diesel overheating - Kerstin
Our 2000 Renault Grand Espace 2.2 DCi started overheating and the engine cutting out in the Pyrenees last year. Garages in Spain and the UK failed to find any cause for this and the problem has increased, the final straw being the cutting out of the engine in slow traffic on Piccadilly! Any comments / ideas / tips gratefully received as we are off on a holiday to Southern France in a couple of weeks!

Kerstin,

On the Espaces I've looked after they've suffered problems with the radiator cooling fans.

The fan relay on the inner wing plays up, the sensor that brings the fans on does likewise and finally they have suffered failure of the actual fan motors.

In the begining these faults were intermittant and caused unexpected overheating.

This was with older vehicles than yours though, at 50K miles plus.
