I recently spent a month with a 2010 Renault Clio III sporting this engine. Here is the reality of living with the most common diesel engine in Europe. For the nerds: The DF071 is the Renault internal code for the 1.5-liter, 8-valve common-rail diesel. In the Clio III, it usually produces around 85 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque .

Don't drive it like a granny. Rev it out every now and then to clear the soot. Change the oil every 6,000 miles (not the Renault recommended 12,000). And pray the electric windows don't break.

The long-distance commuter who is sick of paying £80 to fill up a petrol car.

Let’s be honest: when you see a Renault Clio for sale with a diesel engine and a check engine light on, you usually walk away. But what if I told you that the DF071 (often referred to as the K9K 1.5 dCi) is actually the hidden gem of the supermini world?
