Frequently asked questions
Which Renault Captur II engine is the most reliable?
1.0 / 1.3 TCe (turbo petrol) — Maint. Sensitive verdict. The turbo petrols — the 1.0 TCe three-cylinder (H4D) and the stronger 1.3 TCe (H5Ht, the Renault-Mercedes co-developed unit also worn as the Mercedes 1.3 M282 and shared with the Mégane/Kadjar/Qashqai) — are the volume Captur II engines and a clear step up from the troubled earlier 1.2 TCe. They're chain-driven direct-injection turbos with the modern cautions: intake-valve carbon over time, turbo/PCV care, some oil-consumption to monitor on the 1.0, and the EDC dual-clutch (where fitted) wanting fluid discipline. The 1.3 is the better all-rounder. A serviced car on clean oil is dependable. Buy on oil and (EDC) gearbox history.
