Question 1

Is the Renault 1.5 dCi engine reliable?

Accepted Answer

The 1.5 dCi is one of Renault's most widespread engines and covers high mileages when serviced on time. Early versions are known for crankshaft-bearing wear, so look for regular oil changes and listen for knocking.

Question 2

What is AdBlue on a Renault Blue dCi?

Accepted Answer

A urea solution injected into the exhaust to cut NOx emissions, kept in its own tank and topped up between services. A dashboard warning means the tank is running low, and once it is empty the engine will not restart.

Question 3

How much road tax does a diesel Renault pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

For a car first registered from 2001 it is the CO₂ figure × 0.9 × a band factor, 0.5 up to 90 g/km and 0.1 more per 10 g. A diesel pays half as much again as a petrol car with the same CO₂ figure.

Question 4

Which new Renaults have a diesel engine?

Accepted Answer

Only the Kangoo and the Trafic: the Kangoo with the Blue dCi 95 or 115, the 115 also with EDC, and the Trafic with the Blue dCi 110, 150 or 170, including the SpaceClass. Renault's other new models are petrol, hybrid or electric.
