Renault models we cover
Renault Trafic
The Trafic is a workhorse van that should, on paper, be well-suited to diesel ownership. It gets plenty of motorway miles, carries loads, and runs hard. The problem is the pattern of actual use. Many Trafic owners operate locally: deliveries within a city, tradespeople driving from site to site, short hops rather than sustained runs.
The Trafic 1.6 dCi and 2.0 dCi use the R9M engine, a unit it shares with the Vauxhall Vivaro and, in earlier form, the Opel Vivaro. The R9M has a known DPF sensitivity, particularly in urban use, and we frequently see Trafics with DPF warnings appearing from around 60,000 to 80,000 miles. At that point the filter has been through enough short cycles that the soot accumulation has outpaced the filter's ability to self-clean.
Renault Master
The Renault Master 2.3 dCi is a larger panel van widely used for courier and delivery work. Multi-drop routes, stopping every few minutes, rarely exceeding 40 mph for any sustained stretch, are precisely the conditions that prevent DPF regeneration from completing. We see significant numbers of Masters from local delivery operators, builders' merchants, and sole traders.
If your Master has a DPF light on and you run it on daily delivery rounds, the cause is almost certainly the driving pattern. The filter has simply never had the opportunity to regen fully.
Renault Kadjar
The Kadjar shares its platform and 1.5 dCi engine with the Nissan Qashqai, and it shares its DPF problems too. The K9K engine is efficient but produces cool exhaust temperatures at low speeds, making passive regeneration unreliable in urban driving. Kadjar owners tend to use the car in exactly the same way as Qashqai owners, as a family crossover on mixed urban and suburban routes, with the same results.
If you have a Kadjar 1.5 dCi with a DPF warning, the same diagnostic and flush process we use on the Qashqai applies here.
Renault Megane
The Megane 1.5 dCi (K9K engine) is a compact diesel popular as a commuter and fleet car. Like most small-displacement diesel hatchbacks, it is vulnerable to DPF blockage when used predominantly on short journeys. The Megane Estate and Megane Coupe diesel variants are covered alongside the standard hatchback.
Other Renault diesel models
If you have a Renault diesel not listed above, Scenic, Grand Scenic, Laguna, or others, get in touch. We work across the range; the models listed above are simply the ones we see most frequently.
How our service works
We come to you. There is no need to arrange a garage appointment, get the car recovered, or plan around a workshop schedule. Here is the process:
The whole process takes around two hours. The price is £275 fixed, the same for vans and cars.
