Workshop Remarks

Workshop remarks including recalls and warranty work. Where workshop remarks align with service schedules, this strongly indicates a service was carried out.

If no records are found, your card is not charged — the authorisation is cancelled, no payment is taken.

Service Intervals

Dacia runs the same alternating schedule on petrol, diesel and hybrid models: an inspection service (cabin filter and checks) at 1 year or 10,000 miles, then a service with the oil and filter change at 2 years or 20,000 miles, so oil is a two-year item with an annual inspection in between.

Intervals vary by engine, model year and schedule type — check the car's own handbook or service plan for the figure that applies to it.

Dacia service intervals by engine

Dacia sets its schedule per engine, not per badge, so the figures below are broken out by engine family — 17 of them — with the timing drive, oil, brake fluid and the rest of the items each one schedules. Some are group engines sold under more than one marque, and those say so. Where a line says manufacturer-published, it links to the document it came from.

0.9 TCe (H4B / H4Bt)

Reported · desk researchInterference engineSource

BELT-VS-CHAIN: AUTODOC returns parts under both the belt and the chain categories for the Captur 0.9 TCe (H4B 400), but only the chain and chain-kit categories carry a published interval, 'Timing chain kit: 150.000 km' / 'Timing chain: 150.000 km' (S17). Same discriminator as the 1.2 TCe. The three-cylinder H4B is the same H-family architecture as the 1.0 TCe H4D, for which the control test IS clean - no cam belt exists at all (S18) - which supports the reading here. 150,000 km = 93,200 miles, a catalogue service life rather than a Renault interval. CORRECTED 2026-09-30: the 93,200-mile figure was being rendered as 'Replace every 93,200 miles'. It is a parts-catalogue service life (150,000 km), not a Renault replacement interval, so it is no longer shown as one; the page now reads 'no scheduled replacement'.

BELT-VS-CHAIN, control test applied and clean: for the Clio V 1.0 TCe (H4D 480) AUTODOC stocks a timing chain and a timing chain kit, and the timing BELT category returns no parts at all (S18). Only one kind of drive exists for this engine code, so chain is safe. No replacement interval is published in any category for this engine - unlike the H4B and H5F, where a 150,000 km catalogue figure appears - so miles is left null rather than borrowed from a sibling.

Opposite-kit test on the Clio III 1.2 16V D4F 740/764/706: 129 timing BELT kit articles, no banner, 95-tooth kits naming D4F 740/764 (E-S42), and 'Unfortunately, item Timing chain kit ... is not available' for the same vehicle, 1149 ccm (E-S42). The Clio III 1.2 16V 101 hp (D4F 784, 2007-2015) lists the same 95-tooth belt kits (E-S42). Camshaft test: no tool kit naming the D4F was found (Laser 6563 and 3388 cover K4J/K4M/F4R, not D4F); the D4F is not in this file's other rows. No Renault UK interval: renault.co.uk publishes none, and AUTODOC's interval sentence for this car is an unfilled template. (Dacia UK's generic 'more than 5 years old, or ... over 70,000 miles' belt advice is in renault.json S5 and would apply to Dacia-badged D4F cars only.)

Reported · desk researchInterference engineSource

BELT-VS-CHAIN: this engine is exactly the trap the two-test rule exists for. AUTODOC returns parts under BOTH the timing belt and the timing chain categories for the Captur 1.2 TCe (H5F 412) - a single kit listing would have been misleading either way. The discriminator is that only the timing CHAIN category carries a published replacement interval, 'Timing chain: 150.000 km' (S23), and the same pattern holds on the H4B (S17); across every engine checked in this group the interval field is attached only to the category that is genuinely the cam drive. This engine is also widely documented in trade repair write-ups for chain STRETCH throwing the camshaft dephasers out of time (P0011/P0014 intake and exhaust camshaft dephaser codes), which is a camshaft-test observation: a drive whose wear puts the camshafts out of time is the camshaft drive. 150,000 km = 93,200 miles. CORRECTED 2026-09-30: the 93,200-mile figure was being rendered as 'Replace every 93,200 miles'. It is a parts-catalogue service life (150,000 km), not a Renault replacement interval, so it is no longer shown as one; the page now reads 'no scheduled replacement'.

BELT-VS-CHAIN, BOTH tests applied and agreeing. Camshaft test: the H5Ht is the Renault badge for the Daimler-developed M282, whose head 'comes with two chain-driven camshafts (intake and exhaust)' (S13); corroborated by dedicated M282/H5H camshaft-locking timing tool sets. Control test: for the Captur II TCe 140 (H5H 490) AUTODOC stocks a timing chain and chain kit with a 150,000 km interval while the timing belt category returns no parts at all (S16). 150,000 km = 93,200 miles, and that is a catalogue service life - Renault publishes no chain interval and treats it as lifetime. CORRECTED 2026-09-30: the 93,200-mile figure was being rendered as 'Replace every 93,200 miles'. It is a parts-catalogue service life (150,000 km), not a Renault replacement interval, so it is no longer shown as one; the page now reads 'no scheduled replacement'.

The K4J is the 1,390 cc member of the same K4 16-valve family as the K4M and shares its belt-driven architecture; the AUTODOC figure of 120,000 km / every 5 years is published against the K4M (S19). DERIVED for the K4J by family, and therefore reported rather than measured - no K4J-specific catalogue interval was located. Separate entry from the K4M solely because the displacement differs.

Belt

Timing belt (cambelt)

Replace every 6 years or 74,500 miles

Reported · desk researchInterference engineInterval revisedSource

BELT-VS-CHAIN, control test applied: AUTODOC stocks cam belts and cam belt kits against K9K 658 and K9K 856 AND publishes a manufacturer replacement interval under the timing belt category (S7, S22) - a cam belt unambiguously exists and is the drive that carries the interval. Chain parts also appear against the K9K but with no interval attached, which is the signature of an ancillary drive rather than the cam drive. Marked revised: true because three current sources give three different figures for the same engine family - AUTODOC 120,000 km / 6 years for the Duster's K9K 658 (S7), AUTODOC 150,000 km / 6 years for the Captur's later K9K 856 (S22), and Dacia UK's own page, the most conservative, 'more than 5 years old, or has done over 70,000 miles' (S5). Dacia's dealer grid independently places 'Cambelt/Accessory Belt (Diesel)' at years 6 and 12 (S4), agreeing with the 6-year leg. The headline figure here is the conservative 120,000 km / 6 years.

BELT-VS-CHAIN: AUTODOC publishes 'Recommended part replacement interval ... Timing belt: 120.000 km / every 5 years' for the Megane II 1.6 16V (K4M 760) (S19), and the interval sits on the BELT category. Worth noting the catalogue distinguishes the time legs across this group rather than repeating one number: 5 years for the K4M petrol against 6 years for the K9K diesel (S7) at the same 120,000 km. 120,000 km = 74,565 miles. Interference engine - the K4M is well known for valve damage on belt failure.

BELT-VS-CHAIN, BOTH tests applied and agreeing. Camshaft test: Laser Tools' R9M-specific timing kit is described as being for the 'R9M and 1.7 R9N diesel engines ... (chain drive)' and contains the tools 'required to lock the engine in its "timed" position for safe removal and replacement of the CAMSHAFT DRIVE CHAIN' (S14) - the chain turns the camshafts, so it is the timing drive. Control test: for the identical vehicle (Trafic III 1.6 dCi 125, R9M 452) AUTODOC's chain kit category returns ~31 stocked parts with a 150,000 km interval while the timing belt category returns no parts at all (S8). This reproduces the family split found on the Nissan side: the 1.5 is a belt, the 1.6 and 1.7 are chains. 150,000 km = 93,200 miles. That figure is a parts-catalogue service life, NOT a Renault-published replacement interval - Renault treats the chain as lifetime and publishes nothing. CORRECTED 2026-09-30: the 93,200-mile figure was being rendered as 'Replace every 93,200 miles'. It is a parts-catalogue service life (150,000 km), not a Renault replacement interval, so it is no longer shown as one; the page now reads 'no scheduled replacement'.

BELT-VS-CHAIN, camshaft test applied: the H4M is the Renault badge for the Nissan HR16DE, whose valve arrangement is stated as 'DOHC, chain drive' - the chain turns the camshafts (S21). AUTODOC was NOT usable here: it returns no parts under any of the three timing categories for the Clio V 1.6 E-TECH (H4M 632), so the control test could not be run and the camshaft test carried the call. S21 offers a chain service life of 'about 150,000 miles (200,000-250,000 km)' but that is an author's estimate of durability, not a published interval, so miles is left null rather than record an unsourceable number.

Belt only, no ambiguity. 70,000 km = 43,500 miles, which is strikingly short against the 120,000 km published for the K4M (S19) and the K9K (S7) - this figure is for the Renault Sport application specifically and should not be generalised to a non-RS F4R.

SAME ENGINE FAMILY as the 2.0 dCi (M9R) entry above, which is why this is a chain: S15 is a Laser Tools camshaft-alignment kit whose own text covers 'Renault 1.6, 2.0, 2.3L DCi chain drive diesel engines ... Engine code M9R' and contains a Camshaft Alignment Tool (MOT 1769) — the camshaft test, not a parts listing. What is new here is only the COVERAGE: S25 gives the 2019-on Blue dCi as 'M9R Z7' at 1,997 cm3, and DVLA reports these vans at 1,997cc, so the existing 1,995cc/2005-2016 profile could never match one. Six live lookups on 2021-22 Trafics got no belt-or-chain answer at all because of that. No replacement interval is published by anyone; the widely repeated '100,000 miles / 160,000 km fit-for-life' figure is forum-sourced and is deliberately NOT recorded.

BELT-VS-CHAIN, camshaft test applied and decisive. Laser Tools' M9R-specific kit is 'a timing tool kit for Renault 1.6, 2.0, 2.3L DCI CHAIN DRIVE diesel engines ... Engine code M9R', and contains a Camshaft Alignment Tool (MOT 1769) and a Camshaft Gear Alignment Tool (MOT 1773) (S15). The accompanying technical note is unusually specific and worth recording: the chain runs from the crankshaft to the EXHAUST camshaft only, and the INLET camshaft is gear-driven off the exhaust camshaft through a split, radially sprung gear - which is why the inlet cam gear must be removed and its two halves realigned before the timing can be set. AUTODOC was NOT decisive here: it returns parts under all three categories for the Laguna III 2.0 dCi with no interval on any of them, so the control test failed to separate them and the camshaft test carried the call. No replacement interval is published by anyone.

How Dacia records service data

Dacia UK uses the Renault Group dealer management system (Dacia and Renault share the same network and back-end). Workshop remarks held against the VIN typically include recall completion, warranty repairs, and service-schedule-aligned activity at franchised UK Dacia / Renault dealers. Coverage is digital from approximately 2013 onwards when Dacia launched in the UK (Duster Mk1 came first, then Sandero Mk2). The MyDacia app shows recent services for newer cars; the dealer system holds the complete record. Records persist when a Dacia is serviced at a Renault dealer (and vice versa) because they share the same database.

Dacia models we cover

Full UK Dacia range is covered: Sandero (Mk1 from 2013, Mk2, Mk3 inc. Sandero Stepway), Duster (Mk1 / HM, Mk2 / HJD), Logan MCV (estate, until 2020), Jogger (J04), Spring (electric — UK launch 2025), Bigster (from 2025). Coverage strongest from 2013 onwards (Dacia's UK launch). Pre-2013 Dacia models were not sold in the UK.

Dacia-specific things to know

Two Dacia-specific things to know: First, Dacia's value proposition relies on relatively basic powertrains shared with Renault — the 0.9 / 1.0 TCe petrol and 1.5 dCi diesel engines are the most common. The 1.5 dCi is belt-driven, so its cambelt change matters (Dacia UK advises one once the car is over 5 years old or 70,000 miles), and it has well-known DPF issues in older Renault-badged variants; the same engines in Dacia tune have similar concerns — verifiable oil-service interval discipline is the best mitigation. Second, Dacia warranty is 3 years (extendable to 7 with Dacia 7 Year Extended Care) — servicing at a Dacia or Renault franchised dealer is required to maintain extended warranty eligibility. Third, the older 1.6 16v petrol (K4M) has timing-belt service requirements that are sometimes missed; the later 1.6 SCe is chain-driven.

Why check Dacia service history before buying

Dacia resale value is sensitive to documented dealer history despite the budget-brand positioning — partly because of the 7-year extended warranty programme and partly because of the shared-engine reliability concerns. Workshop-verified service compliance typically adds 8-10% to trade-in over partial-history equivalents. Duster buyers should look for any AWD-related service entries on 4x4 variants. Sandero Stepway and Jogger buyers should verify the timing chain / belt service entries on the 1.0 / 1.5 dCi engines.

Does Dacia keep digital service records?
Yes. Dacia (part of Renault Group) maintains digital workshop records through the shared Renault dealer system. Our service returns workshop remarks including recalls, warranty work and service-related activities.
What data will I receive for a Dacia?
You receive workshop remarks which may include recall completion, warranty repairs, and activities aligned with service schedules. Sufficient to verify maintained service pattern and warranty compliance.
Are Dacia and Renault records shared?
Yes. Dacia and Renault share the same dealer network and database. A Dacia serviced at a Renault dealer (or vice versa) still flows into the same VIN-keyed record.
What Dacia models are covered?
All UK Dacia models from 2013 onwards are covered, including Sandero, Sandero Stepway, Duster (Mk1 / Mk2), Logan MCV, Jogger, Spring and Bigster. Pre-2013 Dacia was not sold in the UK.
Is service history important for Dacia warranty?
Yes. Dacia's 3-year warranty (extendable to 7 with Dacia 7 Year Extended Care) requires servicing at Dacia or Renault franchised dealers within manufacturer intervals. The workshop record is the eligibility proof.
Are 1.5 dCi diesel concerns logged?
Verifiable. The shared Renault 1.5 dCi is belt-driven and has known DPF concerns on older variants. Dealer-record entries for DPF cleaning and the cambelt change are reassuring on high-mileage examples.
How does service history affect Dacia resale?
Dacia resale is sensitive to documented dealer history despite the budget positioning. Workshop-verified service compliance typically adds 8-10% to trade-in over partial-history equivalents — a meaningful percentage of the car's value at the budget end of the market.
