  • Renault Clio 1.2 16v Petrol 2003 - Renault Clio Car wont start, got spark and fuel 18 Dec 2012 (Forum)
    I have done a diag and it says P0225 which is the throttle pedal, I have replaced the pedal from the one in my wifes car which is the same model and her car drives fine but still the same, renault say it may be the crank position sensor as there has been an upgrade to a blue plug with about 4 inches of loom along with new Crank sensor.  I would have thought that if that was the problem I would not get a spark.

  • Renault Espace (2002 - ) - 04 3.0 overheating 15 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    They said that it needed a new engine at a cost of £9,443.00 - much more than the car was worth. Renault customer services said that the would kindly pay 20% After smelling salts I then went onto the Internet and tried to find a solution. Initial thoughts suggested that it may be a water pump then a local garage advised that it was probably 90% likely a head gasket.

  • Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - Diesel Problem Vol2 19 Sep 2018 (Forum)
    Seems like I should think strongly about getting rid of this car but as I bought it expecting to keep it from new for 10 and possibly 15 years, I am still quite reluctant to do this especially after just paying for the 72000 cambelt change, the 72000 major service, and for coolant and brake fluid changes (not at a Renault garage but using Renault parts and a saving over Renault dealerships of 50% £600 for all this rather than £1200). Apart from the engine problems I think the car is excellent. As Parkers and other second hand car guides now mention the problems with the diesel variants, I expect the second hand value is plummeting like a stone.
