Character

R9M

"Kadjar/Scenic/Talisman. Renault-Nissan co-developed. Timing chain (good). But DPF problems in city use, EGR failures, injector issues. Some reports of premature timing chain wear."

K7J/K7M

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