Frequently asked questions

Which Dacia Dokker / Lodgy engine is the most reliable?

1.2 TCe (H5Ft turbo) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The 1.2 TCe turbo (H5Ft, shared with Renault Mégane/Captur) gives the Dokker/Lodgy much better real-world pace on similar economy. It's a turbo direct-injection engine, so the cautions are turbo and PCV care, correct clean oil, and the H5Ft's known sensitivity to oil-level neglect (some examples suffered oil-related issues). A documented, oil-disciplined car is a good engine; keep oil topped and the turbo cool. Buy on service history.
