Is the Renault DCI engine reliable?

Model: Renault Renault Various
Part: Engine

Video tutorial

The Renault K9K or 1500 DCI engine is a reliable engine with low fuel consumption that is envied by many, and for this reason it is also installed in some Mercedes vehicles such as the Mercedes A-Class and B-Class. In 2011, after repeated recalls by Renault vehicle owners, the production company intervened and managed to eliminate the problem of bearing durability by modifying the crankshaft and connecting rod supports and increasing the oil flow.

With good maintenance and regular checks, the engine can give you joy for many years despite the presence of the Start&Stop system, which for many drivers is one of the causes of premature battery and engine decline.
