There appears to be 2 known faults :-
1.top engine mounting gives a droning vibration at about 3-4 thousand revs before changing gear. This is due to the rubber in the old engine mounting going hard, passing vibration through bodywork. The new mounting has fins and additional bits to stop this problem.

2. The resister pack for the heater fan on both my 53 and 54 plate scenics both went wrong due to a design fault. There is a replacement pack with cabling mod to fix the problem which Renault know about and so email Renault if you have either problem.

Apart from the above I would still buy another 1.9Dci Scenic as fuel consumption is excellent towing a trailer on Motorway giving sometimes 56mpg. but usually around late 40's and has lots of power for hills. The semi auto handbrake is also very good once you are used to it, allowing you o pull away without touching the handbrake, but putting it on is by pulling the lever on the right with a finger etc. or switching the engine off.

It is worth getting the Renault fuel additive every month or 2 , as it cleans out the diesel system and gives better power and fuel economy.
