3 known faults

1.2 TCe 115

  1. Oil consumption of the 1.2 TCe

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    The 1.2 TCe (H5Ft) of Scénic IV models from 2016 to 2018 is known for consuming oil, due to a sealing fault in the second piston ring: Car Verif, drawing on L'argus, reports a risk of engine failure and classes these versions as "to avoid". Que Choisir reports many cases on this engine; on the Planète Renault forum, members believe even the 1.2 TCe 130 of the Scénic 4 is not immune.

1.5 dCi 110

  1. EDC gearbox of the 1.5 dCi 110: jerking and clutch failure

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    Owners of Scénic 4 dCi 110 EDC describe violent jerks when restarting after Stop & Start and engine speed oscillations; in one case, one of the gearbox clutches failed and the gearbox had to be replaced, with 2,500 euros left to the customer after Renault's contribution. Fiches-auto also notes noisy and harsh clutch engagement when cold on Renault EDC gearboxes.

    Severity 2/3 · Costly

    Fiches-auto observes that the 1.7 Blue dCi suffers mainly from its AdBlue injection system. Scénic 4 owners report a urea supply module failing at 11,000 km (with the vehicle announced to lock after 1,000 km), or a complete replacement of the AdBlue management under warranty, with the car off the road for nearly three months.
