Hey Paul, you are absolutly spot on, i was at the point that i was seriously considering scrapping our scenic cos when you put your foot down you got whiplash lol, had a look for the pipe you mentioned are low and behold it is split, i went to halfords instead of renault and bought some braided fuel hose a cut it slightly longer, i think they keep spliting because of the engine movement. Top marks Paul and a very merry xmas to you and your family (i think Steven was after some business in these hard up times lol)

have a look at the air pipe going from the top back of engine that plugs into like a block fixed to the chasis nr the underneath of the right wiper its only about 10mm thick and about 10" long i had the same problem and the pipe was split letting in too much air sorry i dont know all the tech names but i hope this helps. i have gone through three of these pipes in as many months its a comon problem buy a new one £14 renault not one from scrappers

Basically if there is a judder and a loss of power the engine is on its last legs. Take the car slowly to the nearest mechanic or Renault dealer for a new engine. If you can't offord this then the car will end up overdoing it and catching fire.
