Coils, 1.2 TCe, sliding door and campaigns on the DokkerKnown weak points

Engine / equipment: Dacia Dokker (1.6 MPI/SCe, LPG, 1.2 and 1.3 TCe, dCi)
Period mentioned: 2012–2021
Symptoms: On the 1.6 MPI (also with LPG), coils and coolant leaks from the thermostat housing; some oil loss on the SCe; 1.2 TCe chain and oil consumption; carbon on the TCe engines; a driver-side sliding door that latches poorly; steering-wheel shake above 130 km/h; at the roadworthiness test, suspension, lights, brakes and leaks.
Possible cause described: Recalls: rear-seat mounting (2013–2014), track rod (17/9–4/12/2015), sliding-door locks (3/7/2015–29/9/2016), ABS unit (26/2–22/4/2016) and driver airbag (4/4–28/8/2018). The 1.3 TCe from 2019 brought improvements.
Check for the garage: Check every campaign by VIN; watch the coolant; on the 1.2 TCe, listen to the chain and measure consumption.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Clogged particulate filter on the 1.5 dCiExhaust and emissions

Engine / equipment: 1.5 dCi (K9K) with particulate filter
Period mentioned: 2010 onwards
Symptoms: Particulate-filter or emissions warning, limp mode with loss of power and frequent regenerations.
Possible cause described: The filter clogs, especially on cars that mostly make short town trips and never complete a regeneration.
Check for the garage: Read the soot load with a diagnostic tool, run a forced regeneration at the garage and check the differential-pressure sensors and EGR. Make long road trips now and then.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; from a regeneration to replacing the filter.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
