Vibrations in the 2021 Renault Espace: experience with vacuum-controlled engine mounts wanted
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Renault Espace owner is experiencing engine vibrations and suspects a defect in the vacuum-controlled engine mounts. Another person shares a similar past issue with a Renault Scenic, where the problem was traced to a faulty control unit rather than the engine mounts. The control unit replacement resolved the issue, suggesting that a second opinion from another mechanic might be beneficial for an accurate diagnosis.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply! It's really encouraging to hear that your problem with the Renault Scenic has been resolved. If you don't mind me asking, do you happen to remember how much it cost you to repair the ECU? And have there been any other problems since then? I would be really interested to get a better idea. Thanks a million already!

Sure, no problem! So, the story with the control unit cost me quite a bit. If I remember correctly, it was around €1000. Quite a lot of money, but the bike has been running like a champ ever since, so I think it was worth it. Regarding the defect in the engine mount (vacuum-controlled) that you mentioned: That was also seen and fixed by the mechanic. Fortunately, there were no extra costs. So, the visit to the mechanic was really worthwhile! I hope that helps you. If you have any further questions, just ask, I'll be happy to help!

Hey, thanks for your helpful feedback. Wow, €1000 is really quite a lot, but the main thing is that your car is working properly again. This definitely gives me courage to tackle the problem with my Renault Espace. It's good to know that it could be different than I thought. I will definitely see another mechanic for a second opinion to get an accurate diagnosis. Thanks again for your support. It has really helped! Regards!

Hey, I can well understand your problem. I once had a 2018 Renault Scenic that showed similar symptoms. It turned out that the control unit was actually faulty. I was glad when my mechanic told me that it wasn't the vacuum-controlled engine mounts, but the control unit. The symptoms were similar: vibrations and strange running behavior. He replaced the control unit and after that the car ran perfectly again. So it was definitely a serious problem, but luckily it could be fixed. Get a second opinion from another mechanic before you make any rash decisions. They may have a different view on the matter. Hope this helps you!
