Character

G9T

"Laguna II, Vel Satis. Common rail successor to G8T. Injector failures. DPF on later models. Turbo actuator. More complex = more failure points. Vel Satis reputation doesn't help."

K7J/K7M

"Clio/Logan/Sandero. Simplest Renault engine. 8-valve, timing belt. Nearly unbreakable with basic maintenance. Dacia fleet favourite. Low power, high durability."
