Renault Espace

Hi, according to the owners manual the capacity are as follows:

J7T - J7R engines - 8.4L

J8S engines - 8.8L

J7W engines - 10L

To check type of engine, look at the engine plate.

Hope this helps?

30psi for normal day to day use but anything above 20psi is fine. 35psi for fast motorway use particularly if heavily loaded. If stuck in soft ground drop all four wheels to 10psi and proceed with no wheel spin. But ALWAYS keep the four wheels at the same pressures, whatever it may be.

To reset a battery fault code on a Renault Espace MK4, first ensure that the vehicle is turned off and the key is removed. Then, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for about 10-15 minutes to clear any stored fault codes. After reconnecting the terminal, start the vehicle and check if the warning light has disappeared. If the fault persists, it may indicate a deeper issue requiring diagnostic tools or professional assistance.

To remove the inlet manifold from a Renault Espace, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove any necessary components obstructing access, such as the air intake and throttle body, then disconnect the vacuum hoses and electrical connectors attached to the manifold. Unscrew the bolts securing the manifold to the engine, and carefully lift it off, taking care not to damage any gaskets or surrounding components. Always refer to a repair manual for specific torque settings and procedures for your model year.

Yes, there is a fuse for the blower motor.

remove the cowling covers around the steering wheel ,,,,,,,,,,,,, its under the top cover :) easy when you know where to look :)

Autodata states 8 hours, however you could times this by 5 or even 6 if you have never done it before, dont have a lift or pit and are working on it on the ground.

You need to drop the whole subframe to allow the box to drop this entails removing both ball joints and unbolting the frame and wishbones. You also have to remove the lower engine mount completely,also makes sure you have undone the brakepipe brackets, 2 13mm bolts in both wheel arches to the front of the trackrod ends. From the top you need to remove the battery and its tray and below this is the ecu, you can put this to one side without taking the connectors out and remove the ecu tray. This will allow you to access the top mouting bolt of the gearbox and also the starter motor that's attached to the gearbox. There are also 2 13mm bolts hidden under the starter motor.

When replacing the gearbox make sure you have new transmission oil as you will have to drain the oil before you do anything. It states 75w/80 however transmission oil has progressed so you will find that nearly everyone will recommend a general 75w/90.

All in all its a pig of a job and should only be done if

A) you have some mechanical knowledge

B) Your a fruit loop!

The sterio in a Grand espace of that era is under the drivers seat! (if it has a CD changer this part will be in the back) It is feasable (just!) to modify it to add a wired input to an iPod - I've done this - but it's not for the faint hearted! I'd recommend buying one of those FM transmitters - far easier.

hi you have to screw them back in, if pads were low they will be difficult to go back and will need a brake rewinding tool. most good car acessory shops sell them about £20

its not in the engine bay. it can normally be found behind the bumper on the left hand corner in front of the wheel

There are three bolts which fasten the starter to the engine, to get to them you will first need to disconnect and remove the battery and its box, remove the clips and move the two large coolant hoses, found on the left of the battery box, to one side (you'll need to drain the coolant out and save it for replacement later). I also disconnected the overflow from the plastic coolant reservoir along with the hose from the bottom of the reservoir. Next I found it necessary to remove the clip securing the large diameter rubber hose to the metal tube coming from the turbo and tie the tube back out of the way. Then disconnect the large plastic air duct which connects to the bottom of the EGR valve, and push it to the left out of the way. Disconnect the electrical plug from the EGR valve.

You should now be able to access and undo the two electrical fasteners on the solenoid which is mounted to the top of the starter and by pushing the disconnected hoses and cable harness out of the way. At last you can now undo the three bolts holding the starter motor. The starter can be turned and twisted upwards for removal past the EGR valve. This is a very tight space but it can be done with a little patience, I've just finished replacing mine today. Replacement is just the same procedure in reverse.

The key card pulls apart. The top part of the key card is shaped slightly different and may be a lighter colour. Just hold the main part of the key card in one hand and the other end in the other hand and pull apart. This will reveal a key shaped piece of metal which can actually be used to open the car manually if the central locking breaks. When you pull the key out and look inside the key card, you should be able to see the small battery than can be taken out and replaced.

You will need to input the radio code [4 digit] via remote or stalk radio control. This info should be with radio handbook or failing that you'll need to visit your friendly Renault dealer to get it done

Just turn on the map light in the roof console and the glove box light will come on.

In 2006-onward (and possibly earlier) the glovebox lights only come on when the headlights are on. Map lights have no effect in my 2006 Espace.

I presume you mean the washer motor? for the windscreen,its behind the bumper in front of the drivers wheel.You can see it if you look in the wheel arch.
