2000 Renault Kangoo RXE review from UK and Ireland
"Good all round vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken key way on cam pulley, which bent all eight valves at 70mph on the M5. Interestingly a friend is working on a 1.9D Megane engine which also has the same problem. This appears to of been caused by a valve shim which jumped out of its pocket. Has anyone else had this problem with the 1.9D engine?
General comments?
Good practical car.
Living in wildest Somerset the no nonsense interior is hard wearing and easy to keep clean.
Fuel consumption at motorway speeds are fairly dismal. Adding a turbo as standard would turn it from a good to a great car.
