Frequently asked questions

Which Dacia Logan III engine is the most reliable?

1.0 SCe / TCe (H4D) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The 1.0 three-cylinder petrols — the naturally-aspirated SCe and the turbo TCe (H4D, shared with the Captur II/Sandero/Jogger, and offered as the bi-fuel LPG) — are the volume Clio V engines: willing, very economical and cheap to run, especially on LPG. They're chain-driven; the turbo TCe adds direct-injection intake carbon and turbo/PCV care, and some of this small-Renault-turbo family use a little oil (monitor the level). The naturally-aspirated SCe is the simplest, lowest-worry unit. A serviced car on clean oil is dependable. Buy on oil-level check and service history.
