Engine Options 2013:
Likely includes 1.2L (petrol), 1.6L (petrol), and potentially 1.5L dCi (diesel) variants. Specific engine codes like K7M, K4M, and K9K are common for this era and platform.
Typical Power Output:
Petrol engines typically range from 75-105 PS, while diesel engines around 90 PS.
Fuel Delivery:
Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol engines, Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) for diesel engines.
ECU Type:
Bosch or Continental Engine Control Units (ECUs) are common.
Timing Belt Replacement Interval:
Typically around 90,000-120,000 km or 5-6 years for petrol engines equipped with timing belts. Diesel engines with timing chains generally have longer service intervals or are designed to last the life of the engine with proper oil changes.
Dacia K9K Diesel Engine:
The 1.5 dCi engine (K9K) is a common and efficient option, known for its fuel economy. Requires specific diagnostic procedures for common rail system issues.
Standard Transmission Type:
5-speed manual transmission.
Optional Transmission Type:
Some variants may have offered a 4-speed automatic transmission, though less common in base models.
Clutch Type:
Dry single-plate clutch.
Manual Transmission Fluid Type:
API GL-4, SAE 75W-80 or 75W-90 gear oil.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions and engine type.
Cabin Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended annually or every 15,000-20,000 km for optimal interior air quality.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely requires API SN/CF or ACEA A3/B4/C3 compliant synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, viscosity typically 5W-30 or 5W-40 depending on engine and climate.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically meeting Renault/Dacia specific standards (e.g., Type D) or G11/G12 classification, with a 50% mixture ratio.
Brake Fluid Specification:
DOT 4 brake fluid.
Common Wear Items:
Suspension components (bushings, shock absorbers), clutch wear, exhaust system components, and potential minor electrical gremlins in older examples. Early models might exhibit some trim rattles.
Engine Reliability:
Generally considered reliable, especially the diesel variants if properly maintained. Petrol engines are robust but can be sensitive to maintenance neglect.
Oil Filter Part Number Example:
Example: Mann-Filter W75/2, Mahle OC 205, or equivalent Renault/Dacia P/N.
Air Filter Part Number Example:
Example: Mann-Filter C22021, Bosch F026400076, or equivalent Renault/Dacia P/N.
