2001 Renault Scenic rx4 review from France
"Half hearted attempt from Renault"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car had only done 30 000 kilometers I had to replace the clutch as oil had leaked onto it. Despite the car being under warranty we had to pay part of the replacement as classed as a usable part.
Twice the catalytic converter has been replaced.
Latest problem is with the rear transmission which is going to cost 1000Euros to replace!
Petrol cap broke and cost 50euros for replacement, not including time. When at the garage to collect part there were two other RX4 owners waiting to collect their broken petrol caps too!
General comments?
We have had nothing, but problems with this model and Renault just don't want to know about it.
