1999 Renault Scenic CDI review from UK and Ireland
"An economical, spacious family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Over 17 fuses blown controlling the rear windscreen wiper. Renault's solution was to run a new wire direct from the battery to overcome the issue. They never have identified the root cause.
Rear windscreen wash/wipe control fails to operate on an intermittent basis. In the "fail" mode the front screen washers operate instead.
General comments?
The car has proved generally very reliable and with the diesel engine, pretty economic (average 43GPM).
I have some concerns over the car's road holding capabilities, particularly in a cross wind situation.
