Rear brake bias valve seized fixed at 90,000 mile service.
Clutch thrust bearing noisy will need replacing soon.
Very practical and flexible.
Diesel engine very noisy and unrefined, slow. Refuses to rev past about 3500rpm in 3rd,4th and 5th gear. Maybe new fuel/Air filter would free it up. My Citroen BX TZD Turbo which is 9 years older is quieter, much faster and free revving and more economical.
Gearbox notchy often baulks changing down into second. Thrust bearing probably a factor.
Reasonable economy for quite a heavy car. Averaged 45.1mpg over 16,000 miles.
Nervous motorway handling in cross wind.
Rear suspension a little soft. This has been rectified in 2nd gen Scenics which handle much better.
Conclusion:
Practical, reliable, frugal and handsome. One for the family not the enthusiastic driver.
Spot on survey. I'm having trouble with the fault lite on the dash. switch ignition off & on again and it go's off with lite on loss of power. had it in garage say can't find any-thing anybody got idea's.
I agree with you that it is noisy, especially on a motorway doing 70-80. I've only had it 2 days and the front left indicator light has fallen out. Will slide back in though. I like the car, but I have to agree with all of your points on what is wrong with it! As for the power failure light coming on, that has happened to me as well and no-one knows why. Maybe it is a common problem with the RT DTI model?
