Frequently asked questions
Which Renault Captur engine is the most reliable?
1.5 dCi (K9K) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The 1.5 dCi (K9K — the most widely-used small diesel in Europe, shared across the entire Renault-Nissan-Dacia range) makes the Clio IV a genuinely frugal long-hauler. It's a proven high-mileage engine but carries the K9K cautions: injector wear (the classic dCi item), turbo oil-feed and DPF/EGR on the DPF cars, plus the timing belt (do it on schedule). With clean fuel, an on-time belt and a healthy injector set it's a dependable, very economical engine — one of the most familiar diesels on the road. Buy on belt and injector history.
