Renault Scenic II 1.6 16v VVT 2002 - Dephaser fault, codes DF080 & DF119 - Fixed #

Posted by Derek Sumnall on March 31, 2012, 9:46 am

Year of Manufacture *: 55 plate
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1.6 16v

Hi Guys

Intermittent non start accompanied with brief
rattle cam pulley area. Codes DF080 & 119 recorded.
Also stalls occasionally.

Have Forte flushed engine and refilled with 5w/30 instead of 5/40.
Removed codes,no rattle on start up but rattled 1st thing following morning refusing to start.Started immediately 2nd attempt,no codes.

As started ok rest of week no rattle.

Intend adding Forte Oil System Protector,am I wasting my time and could the problem return with resultant demise of pulley and cambelt.

Regards Derek

If the dephaser unit is rattling then it needs to be replaced...

However, I have never known a rattly dephaser unit cause none start...

What are the descriptions for the fault codes?

We have a customer with quite a bad VVT rattle on one of these. Also has the dephaser fault codes. It has been like this for a long long time and causes a lack in power but not a non start. Also have to give it a bit of a rev when starting up so it doesn't stall.

They don't have the money to fix it unfortunately - it's not that I haven't told them =)

Did one one these a couple of weeks ago; rattle on start up was worse when cold, intermittent starting and intermittently cut out at junctions! New dephaser cured it!!

I will be interested Derek if the Forte does effect a long term fix for this.
These dephaser pulleys are a real pain.
Some thing else Renault have manged to screw up.

Hi Guys

A month on and the jobs ok. Instant start and not a tinkle.Engine also runs smoother.
