Hello to all owners and those who have touched a Espace III
I am very glad here are people who love , like me, this wonderful car: Renault Espace III.
I brought a Renault Espace III from Germany few weeks ago. The model is 2.0 16V 103Kw, gasoline.
I had problems with the fuel pump assembly, namely, the upstream pipe was cracked. I bought the whole assembly pump ~ 120 euros.
To remove the pump from the tank, car must be mounted on lift, and removed the tank entirely.
However, it seems that I solved.
I have another problem now, with speedometer and odometer. When I start the car, everything goes ok but after about 2-3 Km, speedometer resets to zero. And odometer not register anything. From Germany to home, the odometer registered only 50 Km, although I traveled over 2000 Km.
I guess it is a sensor. I read several versions on the Internet. How it would be a sensor on the gearbox, some sites say that speed is taken from the ABS wheel sensors. Some said that it clogged with grease and not read correctly.
Driving around town, I noticed that when braking or low speed turns, tight cornering, even after tens of km, speedometer recovers, it indicates the correct speed, then resets back to zero.
If it is a sensor, where is located?
May be something else?
