Hello!
Some of you may recall I had a problem with my Espace stalling when passing from cold to warm... also, it is very hard to start when engine is warm or hot
When I took my Espace to Renault for the (unneeded) 5000 Euro head repair
, besides the oil-water mix, I told them explicitly to replace engine temperature sensor. They told me there was no error code from the ECU but, anyway, had replaced it. But problem persisted.
So as my trusty
Renault garage was unable to fix that problem, I let it go for some time while thinking what I could do. Finally, I took the Espace to an independent garage I trust. Today, I have got a call from the mechanic (who is the owner of the garage). He said that there is an error code... for the
temperature sensor and that it was obviously an
old unit.
I am feeling really bad about this... How an
official Renault garage could be so bad / untrusty / thieves cave ...?. Of course, I paid for the replacement sensor (sadly, that time I didn't ask for old parts).
Until next week I won't be sure if all the problem is just the sensor. But, anyway, I think I have had enough and will go to in few days to Renault and file a formal claim
Now I feel a bit better
Best regards,
JOSE
