Engine Options 2011:
Likely 1.6L (K7M) and 2.0L (F4R) petrol, and 1.5L (K9K) dCi diesel engines.
Power Output Range:
Varied based on engine, typically 90-140 hp for petrol, 85-110 hp for diesel.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol, common rail direct injection (CRDI) for diesel.
Transmission Types:
Likely 5-speed manual and potentially 4-speed automatic.
Drivetrain Options:
2WD (front-wheel drive) and 4WD (switchable all-wheel drive).
4Wd System:
Likely a torque-sensing all-wheel-drive system with driver-selectable modes (2WD, Auto, Lock).
Euro Ncap Rating:
The 2011 Dacia Duster achieved a 3-star Euro NCAP rating.
Braking Systems:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), likely Brake Assist.
Airbags:
Front airbags for driver and passenger, side airbags may be optional depending on trim.
Structural Features:
Reinforced chassis, crumple zones.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first (consult manual for exact specification).
Engine Oil:
Likely API SN/SM or ACEA A3/B4 compliant synthetic oil, viscosity grade dependent on engine and climate (e.g., 5W-40, 10W-40).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically requiring OAT (Organic Acid Technology) formulation, often blue or green.
Transmission Fluid:
Manual transmission: GL-4 rated gear oil. Automatic transmission: ATF type based on manufacturer specification (e.g., Dacia ATF 3).
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, suspension components (bushings, ball joints), potential for exhaust system corrosion, electrical gremlins in older models.
Engine Specific Concerns:
1.5 dCi can be sensitive to fuel quality and oil maintenance; 1.6 petrol can consume oil if not properly maintained.
Oil Filter Example:
Renault/Dacia part numbers for oil filters are common for these engines (e.g., 1520800Q0A for K9K).
