Our answer:

Hi Patrick,

I presume you mean the 1.5 diesel used by Renault, primarily in the Fluence and Megane? Yes, it’s a decent engine, but keep an eye out for problems with the turbocharger and with the DPF if you’re not racking up lots of miles. Electrical problems are common too, so make sure it comes with a full service history.
