By the end of 1996, Renault showed the Megane Scenic, a monocab based on the Megane golf class hatchback. He was one of the "revolutionaries" of this class - like crossovers and SUVs, that is, like they have their customers who do not need a heavy frame, complex all-terrain transmission and super-high ground clearance, but only a "jeep" look, and slightly off-road capabilities. better, or at the level of a Zhiguli (that is, excellent for a passenger car, but not for a jeep), so these micro-minibuses immediately found customers! That is, customers who, although not mentally ready for the "bus" size, heavy handling and similar "special effects", but who dream of having a lot of space in the back of a golf class hatchback, both for luggage and overhead and around. The hero of our review is ready to meet just such needs. By the way, why didn’t they come up with a new name for them, because there is an “SUV” and “crossover” / “SUV” ?! This comparison with jeeps is not without reason, because Renault made a double blow - by releasing not only the "Scenic" mega station wagon, but also the RX4 - a crossover based on it.
All in-line four-cylinder engines, with eight or sixteen valves, developed 64-140 hp. Gasoline had a 1.4-liter volume (75 hp or 95: eight or sixteen valves), 1.6 liter (75 or 90 hp with eight or 107-110 with sixteen valves), 2-liter (114 hp . or 138-140: eight or sixteen valves). And the diesel engines were all 1.9-liter and eight-valve - naturally aspirated versions produced 64 and 65 hp, and turbocharged 80, 95-98, 100-105 hp. As we can see, a wide range for such a car, which is rather characteristic of the Germans, especially taking into account the all-wheel drive version of the PX4, only the hot version is missing!
The Scenic was restyled in 1999. He got a different dashboard, headlights of a new design, and the front of the body. They also launched the all-wheel drive modification RX4 (with a viscous coupling as a central differential) with a ground clearance increased to 210 mm. And new versions of gasoline engines - sixteen-valve engines: 1.4-16v producing 95 hp, and 1.6-16v with a return of 107-110 hp.
New engines appeared on the Scenic in 2000: a new version of the 2.0-liter gasoline engine with a return of 140 hp. (for RX4) and turbodiesel 1.9 l, 80 hp. (index dTi) and 102 hp. (index dO).
And finally, in 2003, the well-deserved Scenic First was replaced by Renault Scenic Second.
It should be noted that despite its friendliness and spaciousness, the “Scenic” still does not reach the middle class sedans in terms of comfort, so for long-distance travel you can find a car that is both quieter and softer (although comfort is a relative concept) . well and in urban conditions, he is just on top : what is its excellent review worth.
Demand for the first generation Scenics, especially restyled versions, today exceeds supply, and in this regard, they do not stay on the market for a long time. For example, in Moscow, ten-year-old copies will cost 200-250 thousand rubles. With operating costs, as it turns out: they often strictly depend on the literacy of the previous owner.
As mentioned above, the Scenic was equipped with a whole “near-German” range of engines from a 1.4-liter base to a top-end two-liter, and almost all of them come across in the “secondary”. We practically don’t have diesel versions, and for good reason, since their restoration and maintenance require special qualifications, and there were “misunderstandings” and complaints about the reliability of late engines with direct diesel fuel injection, which improves the economy and efficiency of the engine.
Attempts to manually replace the timing belt under garage conditions on sixteen-valve engines quite often end in failure. The fact is that for these motors, the drive gears of the shafts are fixed in the required position solely due to friction, and the clamping is achieved by tightening the bolts. The bolt should be loosened, then the gear on the shaft begins to rotate. To expose it “by eye” is a meaningless thing, since there is a set of special tools and devices for this. However, of course, only in a specialized service. This is where you should go, as it will cost much less than a potential overhaul of the motor if the experiment fails. Well, it’s easier for the owners of “one-rollers”, because in these motors the most common key landing. Changing the roller along with the belt is not only desirable, but also mandatory, also for the purpose of prevention and the pump, since this part is not very durable.
Another well-known "garage" trick is the valve cracking with a hammer blow. The fact is that it is rarely possible to strike strictly along the axis, and even a small displacement is already enough to leave a trace of cracker on the rod - risk. This risk and then can "guarantee" crazy oil consumption for waste, namely every 1000 km over 1.5 liters.
Our tar-rich gasoline is capable of laying a pig. It is necessary to keep the valve bushings under control, because plenty of thick ointment will accumulate on them, then one day when the engine is started, the valve will not sit in the saddle, which threatens that the thin rod will bend from the impact of the piston.And in order to prevent this, it is periodically useful, every 30-45 thousand km, to clean the soot by “flushing the injector”. It is not recommended to pour any cleaning compounds into the tank. A sign that “raised turbidity” has reached the motor is the interruption of the first nozzle, the fact is that it gets the largest amount of dirt.
Further, one should not get carried away with washing the motor under pressure, especially the K4M sample, where the coils of the device are connected to each other in pairs. A short circuit occurs due to moisture, which disables them.
All gasoline engines start well, even in the cold. They have few reasons for rejection. Sometimes the contact in the blocks of the crankshaft position and engine temperature sensors disappears (here it is enough to crimp the contacts), sometimes (on F3R engines) the wires of the latter may break off, and by 100 t.
On the F3R engine, unstable idling can sometimes be eliminated by lightly hitting the valve, or the idle speed control. However, such a valve will not last long, so it is worth preparing a replacement for it. On a 1.6 liter K7M, the plastic throttle gradually wears out. If, when the accelerator is released, the engine speed begins to fall below the permissible value, then it may be time to change the assembly.
Now consider the suspension. She is not the weakest point of the Scenic. Most often, stabilizer bushings wear out in the front suspension, which let you know about it by tapping the strut supports. These parts are inexpensive. And a knock in the rear suspension indicates that either the silent blocks have worn out, or the bearing inside the beam, where the torsion bars pass, or the shock absorbers - the latter do not work here in the most favorable position in terms of load on this part - at an angle. Since the bulkhead of the rear suspension beam is an expensive operation, because of this, many drivers simply “reach” the suspension for years, because the torsion bars have enough reserve of reliability and rigidity so as not to crumble.
On the Scenics, the clutch assembly lasts quite a long time, up to 180 tons. Km. The gearbox is also pleased with its reliability, except for the problem of oil leakage through the oil seal of the speed selection rod that occurs over time. Although it will be expensive to change the seals according to the factory technology, it is reliable. As a "pre-sale option" - glue from pieces. Some owners can cut and then splice the rod with a coupling: here the result directly depends on the experience of the master.
Oil can also leave the box through the boot of the left CV joint - after 60-120 tons. Km. Changing it is an easy task. But here you will have to put on the outer covers through the CV joint or change the drive assembly, which is an expensive pleasure. They need to be protected and one truth to be remembered: the Scenic, although it has quite easy handling, is not a rally car, even in the all-wheel drive version.
Consider a very curious modification of the RX4. Although the ErX4 looks very tempting, not only thanks to the impressive wheels and ground clearance, but also the plastic body kit, however, behind the flashy name 4x4 there is nothing more than a passenger car for outdoor activities, which is contraindicated in deep mud and serious ravines, as well as fast driving. , with sharp accelerations and rebuildings. In our conditions, the support bearing of the cardan shaft is enough for about 30,000 km, and the expensive shaft will have to be changed as an assembly. In addition, when the stability control system stops working, for example, if the ABS sensor fails, then there is a great risk of losing control under slippery road conditions! The fact is that due to the connection of the rear axle, the behavior of the car changes dramatically. And because of this, it is wiser to opt for the more common "passenger" mono-drive version.
Here, the steering is reliable, and what about knocks in this unit, this is usually the result of dirt and torn anthers. Moreover, as it happens, the left anther is damaged, but the right support, which is more loaded, is knocking, so you need to look both ways. If the power steering began to "sweat", then do not rush to change the oil seal.For, most likely, the matter is both in the wear of the plain bearing and in the misalignment of the shaft. There is only one way out - to add liquid as you go. And do not overtighten the belt, otherwise it will cause it to be replaced ahead of time. A few words about handling and dynamics. Scenic, of course, is still not Megan, on whose bases it was made, unlike it, it rolls more when cornering, and the steering wheel does not immediately respond to the driver's actions. Although this is if we approach the assessment of handling from the point of view that when evaluating a golf class. But adjusted for the origin and class of this car, it even has a very good reactive effect on the steering wheel and its “purity”. As for acceleration, thanks to the rally, or cargo reception, although the Scenic has a slightly reduced maximum speed on the track, but the acceleration is peppy. The fact is that the transmission has a shortened row, and when an unloaded or half-empty car, acceleration will please.
When choosing a car, you should take a closer look at the braking system: are the discs covered from the inside by brake shields? If not, then you will have to change the internal pads at each maintenance, and the discs may suffer due to the “sandblasting” attack. To install the shields, you will also have to replace the steering knuckles with those with holes. Therefore, it will be easier to look for the “right” car. And do not forget that, unlike the simple Scenic, the rear of the X4 had disc brakes.

Have you tried starting again? I will carefully assume that the phase regulator could crackle after a long stop. And in the service they showed you bent valves from your car? Were you present during the disassembly of the cylinder head? I don't believe there is such a problem with that kind of mileage.

There is no phasic on the first megans. Most likely, the belt was simply not set according to the marks or it was pulled, there is no other option, I have 155 and nothing like that, the engine runs smoothly and quietly, in principle it is not audible. And what is that sound? Crack, knock or what? If there is a crackle, then the timing is not on the marks, a knock - the hydraulic heaters are knocking. there could be a lot of reasons.

The mileage is clearly twisted (the third owner is 75 thousand, this is a TALE). in reality, he probably drove under 200 thousand.
Well, they changed the belts, most likely not with normal Renault servicemen (there are no marks on our engines, and only special trained people should change!).

Sometimes there are stories like this. the most amazing thing is that you can’t ask anyone (who bought a car not long ago) everyone has their own mileage, nowhere beaten, etc. when selling my own, I’ll also bring a marafet and spin the speed. And I’ll say that I was standing in the garage uhahahaha. 
especially since after the pelvis it’s generally hard to say something bad about foreign cars, if you drive for at least 3 years. You will immediately hear knocks and crickets .. and something the door slams hard. then there’s nothing of my own. As I understand it, the first foreign car. And immediately such a jamb

Good day to all!
So the official service draws up a piece of paper, even two. They are called: “certificate of control” and “receipt for order”. There they will write to you whatever their heart desires, and thereby relieve themselves of all responsibility. “We wrote to you, but you did not!”. They once wrote to me - it is recommended to replace the steering rack. Take out and put in 25 thousand rubles. Found the fool! Passed and without their recommendations technical inspection. 
Thank you. But, with your permission, I'll correct you: 
Hey! The fact that the dealer does not put a seal is your problem, because the organization's seal is provided for in the certificate form. Need to demand. The question is different: as I said, they can write whatever their heart desires. But how are you going to prove later (and where?) that they are bred “for cash”, requiring you to prematurely replace parts? In my opinion, in our country it is best to understand the car yourself and make your own decision. And this applies especially to female drivers. They are the most “favorite” customers on the service. 
The certificate of control is a dummy, which is pampered by “children” drivers. They hang it or glue it wherever they want (in my case, on the back of the hood and on the rear-view mirror, they “sculpted”). In general, advertising and nothing more. on your own  - only not very complex components and parts are possible - pads, lighting, for example. And as for specific measurements - indeed, the dealer (and even the service station) do everything by eye. Because it so happened that the LIKE-CAMBLE and BODY GEOMETRY are considered serious. Well, in a pinch, ICE can also be called a serious issue. Although, as you said, it can also be sorted out in almost every yard.
