Why did I get rid of my Renault Scenic?
I had constant cold start issues with my 2005 1.6 vvt Megane. The engine ‘missed’ until it warmed up, making it dangerous when pulling out of junctions etc. Renault basically washed their hands of it, saying their was nothing wrong with the car. I got rid of the car shortly after.
What kind of engine does a Renault Scenic have?
I tested an 05 1.6VVT auto on the forecourt, but it was a cold morning, so the temp sensor may have asked the computer for a few more revs, but 4 bars is about right. It would have been nice for the dealer to check the timing for you, at least u could have ruled something else out.
What’s the rev limit on a Renault Scenic?
Just started a good one on the forecourt from cold, ticks over at 1000 rpm (thats 5 bars on the rev counter), after about 3 mins when hot, drops to 750 rpm (4 bars)? was the timing out in the end?
Is the Renault Scenic built to last 3 years?
Unfortunately Renaults aren’t built to last, as the chief designer allegedly said a few years ago, ‘we only build them to last 3 years’. A faulty dephaser unit will log a code which can be interrogated by the CLIP diagnostic system. Try changing the coils. They have changed the Throttle unit, same problem again.

Why does my Renault Scenic stall in cold weather?
I took mine into the main dealer because of the rattling noise when starting (intermittent) and they said it was the heat shield knocking against something! Also, the stalling problem (in cold weather)was not fixed as the next day it happened again. I live on a main road and it’s very worrying with the kids in the back when the car suddenly dies!
