Renault Latitude Engine ReplacementCompare Quotes from UK Specialists

Typical rebuilt Renault Latitude engine prices range from £1,400 for a 2.0L petrol M4R to £5,500 for the flagship 3.0L V6 diesel V9X, with the common 2.0 dCi M9R averaging £1,500-£3,500 supply-only.

• M9R 2.0 dCi rebuilt: £1,500-£3,500 supply-only
• M4R 2.0 petrol rebuilt: £1,400-£3,200 supply-only
• V9X 3.0 dCi V6 rebuilt: £2,800-£5,500 supply-only
• Supply & fit labour adds £400-£900 depending on workshop
• All EngineMarket quotes include minimum 12-month warranty

The M9R 2.0 dCi is generally robust but has documented issues with turbo whistle, DPF blockage on short journeys, and rare connecting rod bearing wear on early 2011-2012 units.

• Turbo actuator wear causes whistle noise from ~60k miles
• DPF requires regular motorway runs to regenerate properly
• Early M9R units (pre-2013) had bearing tolerance improvements later
• Regular oil changes with correct spec fluid are critical for longevity
• Rebuilt M9R engines include upgraded components addressing known weaknesses

Only engines originally fitted to the L70-generation Renault Latitude (2011-2015) are compatible: M9R 2.0 dCi, M4R 2.0 petrol, V4X 2.5 V6 petrol (discontinued), and V9X 3.0 dCi V6.

• M9R codes: 740, 742, 744, 746, 786 (2.0 dCi 150/175hp)
• M4R codes: 730, 735, 746, H7 (2.0 petrol 140hp, flex-fuel)
• V4X 701 (2.5 V6 petrol 180hp, 2011-2013 only)
• V9X codes: 891, 892 (3.0 dCi V6 240hp, Initiale only)
• Engine code must match exactly for ECU and transmission compatibility

The engine code is stamped on a metal plate on the engine block, visible near the timing cover or on the cylinder head; it also appears on the V5C logbook under "Engine number".

• Look for codes starting M9R, M4R, V4X or V9X on the engine plate
• V5C registration document lists engine number under section D.2
• Service records and original purchase paperwork often note the code
• DVLA lookup via registration confirms engine size and fuel type
• Enter your reg on EngineMarket to auto-identify compatible engines

M9R diesel engines commonly suffer turbo whistle and DPF blockage; M4R petrol units may experience ignition coil failure; V9X V6 diesels can have turbo actuator and EGR cooler issues.

• M9R: Turbo whistle, DPF clogging, rare bearing wear on early units
• M4R: Ignition coil failure causing misfires after ~70k miles
• V9X: Twin-turbo actuator sticking, EGR cooler leaks on high mileage
• V4X: Intake manifold gasket leaks, coil pack issues under load
• Regular servicing and appropriate driving patterns mitigate most issues

Given the Latitude's residual value (£3,000-£6,000 typical), engine replacement is worthwhile if the car is otherwise sound, has low bodywork damage, and you plan to keep it long-term.

• Compare rebuilt engine cost (£1,400-£5,500) against vehicle value
• Factor in supply & fit labour (£400-£900) and warranty coverage
• Consider selling as-is vs investing in a reliable rebuilt engine
• Rebuilt engines with 12-month warranty offer peace of mind
• Specialist fitting ensures correct installation and ECU coding
