Renault Clio 1.5 dCi 75/85/90/110 (2001-2019, K9K 628/636/638/656)
Failure mileage range
80,000-120,000 miles
Typical failure window
Root cause
High-pressure piezo injectors degrade internally, causing poor atomisation, rough idle, and increased fuel consumption.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Injector Cleaning/Testing | £400 - £700 | £250 - £450 | Remove, bench-test and clean injectors; replace seals if viable | Temporary fix; only viable before complete injector failure |
| Intermediate - Injector Replacement | £1,200 - £2,200 | £750 - £1,400 | Replace faulty injectors with reconditioned units; code to ECU | 30-50k mile solution if other components are healthy |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt K9K Engine | £2,800 - £4,500 | £1,500 - £2,400 | Supply & fit rebuilt engine with upgraded injectors, 12-month warranty | Long-term solution; addresses all wear items at once |
Our recommendation
On a Clio valued under £3,000, injector replacement via a specialist offers the best balance of cost and longevity. If the engine has other high-mileage wear, a rebuilt unit with warranty is often the smarter investment.
