Do Renault scenics have interference engines?

Some Renault Scenic engines are interference engines, while others are not. Interference engines are those in which the pistons and valves can come into contact if the timing belt or chain breaks, causing severe engine damage. Non-interference engines have enough clearance between the pistons and valves so that even if the timing belt or chain breaks, the valves will not be damaged.

To determine if your Renault Scenic has an interference engine, you can consult your owner's manual or contact your local Renault dealer. Here is a list of some Renault Scenic engines and whether or not they are interference engines:

* 1.6-liter K4M engine: Non-interference

* 1.9-liter F9Q engine: Interference

* 2.0-liter F4R engine: Interference

* 2.2-liter dCi engine: Interference

* 2.5-liter V6 engine: Interference

It is important to note that even if your Renault Scenic has a non-interference engine, it is still important to have the timing belt or chain replaced according to the recommended maintenance schedule. If the timing belt or chain breaks, it can still cause other engine damage, such as bending the valves or damaging the camshaft.
