1999 Renault Scenic RXE review from South Africa
"Potentially a lovely family car if it did not leak oil"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear door dampers failed after 10 months.
Front and rear crankshaft seals started leaking after just 30 000 km.
Sump gasket leaking.
Wheel alignment never been right, has always pulled to one side.
General comments?
I was very happy with the car until the oil leaks started.
My wife and family love the car.
Parts and servicing are extremely expensive.
Performance and economy are quite good.
Too much wind noise.
