Character

HR12DDT / HR12DDV (Renault H5F 6xx)

"The new three-cylinder 1.2 turbo petrol of the Renault Austral, Espace, Rafale, Clio VI and Captur and the Dacia Duster III (2022 on): 48V mild hybrid (130 hp), LPG Eco-G, and the E-Tech full hybrid and plug-in hybrid (200-300 hp system power). Not related to the old four-cylinder 1.2 TCe. The full-hybrid Austral and Espace built 2022-2024 have had a string of campaigns: a crankcase breather hose that lets fuel dilute the oil (risk of engine seizure), spark plugs replaced for misfires, and cooling-system parts. Mild-hybrid versions have no known engine faults so far. Check that every Renault campaign has been done."

F4Rt

"Renault 2.0 turbo petrol (Laguna II/III 2.0T and GT, Espace IV, Vel Satis, Scenic II, Megane II Sport 225/230, Megane III R.S. 250-275, Megane III TCe 180). Understressed and durable; stronger internals than the non-turbo F4R and no phaser pulley. Watch the timing belt and its rattly pulleys, rocker-cover oil leaks and ignition coils; track cars need extra cooling."
