Is the Dacia 1.5 dCi engine reliable?

The 1.5 dCi is one of Renault's most widespread diesels and covers high mileages when its oil is changed on time. The points to watch are the injectors, the turbo and, on older versions, the crankshaft bearings.

Is the Dacia Duster 4x4 diesel good off-road?

The Duster 4x4 has selectable four-wheel drive and good ground clearance, enough for dirt tracks and light mud. It has no low-range gearbox, but the short first gear of the manual helps on steep climbs.

Do Dacia Blue dCi engines need AdBlue?

Yes, Blue dCi engines use AdBlue from a separate tank that is filled on its own. Older 1.5 dCi engines do without it, but meet less demanding emissions standards.
