Character

K9K 1.5 dCi (pre-2010)

"Early K9K. Turbo actuator and injector wear more common. Still decent with care. DPF on later examples."

K7J/K7M

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