new espace owner but not much info on this car, why?
September 29, 2010, 11:04:40 AM
Hi All

got myself an 2001 espace 2.2 DCI "the race" got it very cheap £475 86k with full service history, mot but no tax. it did have a problem (and many other i have found) heater exchanger broke so oil went into the cooler system. was fixed by old owner but never flushed out by the garage so he sold it with a "problem" still. but its fixed!

anyway im after so info with these cars like an owners manual, workshop manual, seem to be hard to find so some reason.

also can you read your own fault codes? i know on some car you can link out 2 cables (fuse box) and get the LED on the dash to flash a code. can you do this on the espace? if not do an ebay OBD II work?

thanks for any help.

No, you can't read out fault codes without a code reader. I have a MaxiDiag FR704 which works great, except it doesn't provide real time data.

You can find manuals here: http://www.matrasport.dk/Cars/Espace/vault/JE/

Hello

I don't know if Anders updated the vault.
But here you have the owner manual.

However there are very few, and the answers come pretty late.

Anyway I like this forum, we are a community so special.
