Character

K9K 1.5 dCi (post-2010)

"Revised K9K. Improved turbo and injectors. Still Europes most common small diesel. Proven long-distance."

K7J/K7M

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