Engine Variants:
The JE series Espace utilized various petrol and diesel engines. Specific variants require confirmation from actual manual content. Common engines for this era include 2.0L petrol (F3R, F4R), 2.0L turbo petrol (F4RT), 2.0L dCi diesel (M9R), 2.2L dCi diesel (G9T), 2.0L dCi (M9R).
Horsepower Torque:
Varies significantly by engine. For example, a 2.0L F4R might produce around 140-170 hp, while a 2.2 dCi G9T could deliver around 150 hp. Specific figures are detailed within the manual.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol engines and common rail direct injection (CRDI) for diesel engines.
Engine Control:
Electronic Engine Control Unit (ECU) managing fuel, ignition, and emissions.
Transmission Types:
Manual transmissions (e.g., 5-speed, 6-speed) and automatic transmissions (e.g., Proactive, DP0/AL4) were common depending on engine and trim.
Optional Transmissions:
Automatic transmission options were generally available for most engine choices.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific fluid types (e.g., ELF Tranself NFJ 75W-80 for manual, ELF Matic T-IV for automatic) are detailed in the manual.
Body Styles:
MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle)
Wheelbase:
JE Series Espace typically had a wheelbase around 2,800-2,870 mm, depending on the specific generation and configuration.
Cargo Capacity:
Highly variable due to seating configurations, but known for its spacious and flexible interior, often exceeding 600 liters with rear seats removed.
Curb Weight:
Typically ranged from 1,500 kg to over 1,800 kg depending on engine and equipment.
Euro Ncap Rating:
Models from the JE generation generally achieved good Euro NCAP ratings for their time, often around 4-5 stars, reflecting strong occupant protection.
Active Safety:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP) (on later models or higher trims), Traction Control System (TCS).
Passive Safety:
Multiple airbags (front, side), crumple zones, reinforced safety cell.
Infotainment Features:
Early generations featured basic radio/cassette players, with CD players and optional navigation systems appearing on later models and higher trims. Digital displays for climate control and vehicle information.
Driver Assistance Systems:
ABS, cruise control (on some models), parking sensors (later models).
Connectivity Options:
Limited by the era; primarily focused on audio system connectivity (e.g., Aux-in ports on later aftermarket head units) and basic vehicle diagnostics.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first, but varies with engine type and driving conditions. Refer to manual for specific engine recommendations.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Critical for petrol engines (e.g., F4R). Interval usually around 90,000-120,000 km or 5-6 years. Diesel engines often use timing chains.
Engine Oil Specification:
Varies by engine. Common specifications include Renault RN0700, RN0710, ACEA A3/B4, SAE 5W-40 or 10W-40. Manual will specify exact type and viscosity.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically red or orange in color (e.g., Renault Type D / G12 equivalent). Capacity around 7-9 liters.
Common Problems:
Examples include electronic issues (ECU, sensors), clutch wear, suspension component wear (bushes, ball joints), EGR valve issues on diesel engines, catalytic converter failure, and potential electrical gremlins related to the complex wiring.
Preventative Maintenance:
Regular fluid checks and changes, inspection of suspension and steering components, timely replacement of wear items like timing belts and brake pads.
