Renault Grand Scenic 1.9dci
Discussion
I have recently brought a 1.9dci Grand Scenic on a 05plate with 56k on the clock.
It has recently had a new turbo and all the parts to go with it. It ran fine for a few weeks and now its displaying check injection. I know that a common fault with this is glowplugs which I will change this weekend, but my concern is that is is still using some oil.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing the oil leak? Iam hoping its nothing too serious! Any help would be appreciated!

Have you had the error code read? Mine displayed 'check injection' (it's a 2004 Grand Scenic 1.9dci). It had two faults, one was a sticky turbo actuator (fixed under warranty but would have otherwise cost about £100 - don't believe renault when they tell you that you need a new turbo!), the other fault was a badly split pipe from the turbo (a few quid to fix).
A common cause of turbo failure is a faulty egr valve. I forget which but they either stick open or closed which causes premature turbo failure (these turbos should last 150k but rarely do due to neglect - i.e. not warming them up before use and not allowing them to settle before turning the engine off).
Definetely get the egr valve checked it might just need a clean!
Is the turbo particularly noisy? It should give a light whistle (audible with the windows down) - a 'siren' noise coming from it could signal imminent failure (and when these turbo's go they tend to run on using the engine oil until it's all burned up causing total engine failure unless you stall them!)
Does the power come on strongly from 1500rpm (ish)? - Mine was venting its compressed air through the split pipe causing the problems.
None of the above really explains high oil consumption however! but if when the previous turbo failed the car wasn't stalled in time the engine could be severely worn which would explain the high oil consumption!
Hope it's nothing serious as they are a lovely family wagon!
