Renault diesel or petrol: the engine code determines the part, not the engine capacity

Across a Renault range spanning 1991 to 2024, the engine capacity shown on the registration document is not enough to identify the correct gearbox, engine or turbo. It is the engine code — stamped on the block — that determines the exact reference: a 1.5 dCi can carry any one of the K9K codes spread across more than sixty variants, and two vehicles with the same engine capacity but from different years take different parts. This page lists reconditioned gearboxes, engines and turbos for the full range of Renault models, from the Kangoo van to the Vel Satis, and from the Clio city car to the Master panel van.

Diesel: four engine families for very different applications

The 1.5 dCi with engine code K9K is fitted to the majority of vehicles in the range — Clio, Mégane, Kangoo, Scénic, Captur, Kadjar — but its 65 hp, 90 hp and 110 hp variants correspond to distinct codes: K9K 700 or K9K 704 for the 65 hp versions, K9K 608 or K9K 628 for the 90 hp versions, K9K 636 or K9K 646 for the 110 hp versions, and these codes are not interchangeable. The 1.9 dCi, engine code F9Q or F8Q, covers the Mégane, Laguna and Trafic over a long period, with 80, 100, 110 and 130 hp variants that do not share the same gearboxes. For the Master and Trafic, the 2.3 dCi, engine code M9T, has been the dominant unit since 2010, available in 100, 125, 135, 150, 163 or 170 hp depending on the model year. The 2.0 dCi, engine code M9R (Laguna, Espace, Koleos), ranges from 90 to 200 hp, with gearboxes and turbos specific to each power output. The 2.5 dCi engine code G9U and the 2.2 dCi engine code G9T remain present on earlier generations of the Master and Espace. For the Master with the 2.8 engine, codes 8140 (Iveco) and S9W coexist depending on the year and power output.

Petrol and vans: TCe, naturally aspirated engines and range-specific features

On the petrol side, the 1.2 TCe exists in two entirely separate families: engine codes D4F (100 to 103 hp, Clio, Modus, Wind) and engine codes H5F (100 to 132 hp, Mégane, Captur, Kadjar) — these two families share no parts whatsoever. The 1.3 TCe engine code H5H is fitted to the most recent generations (Kadjar, Mégane IV) in 115, 140 and 160 hp outputs. The 0.9 TCe engine code H4B covers the Twingo and Clio IV. The 1.6 (K4M, K7M) and 2.0 (F4R) blocks are found on the Mégane, Laguna and Scénic in naturally aspirated or turbocharged versions. The catalogue also extends to turbos — new or reconditioned — across all diesel and TCe engines, with references specific to each engine code. For the Master Mascott and Maxity vans, the 2.8 and 3.0 dCi diesel blocks (engine code ZD3) form a category of their own, with no connection to the blocks used in passenger vehicles.
