Ignore that above! Just rung me and hadn't priced in for replacing the intercooler! I'm getting more and more frustrated with them. Does anybody have a rough estimate of what it should cost to replace Turbo,Feed/Return pipes/gasket/intercooler. That's what he's just told me needs doing. Said it's 10 hours labour to change the turbo on it's own. Any help would be appreciated chaps as I'm not going to be had over. I may as well sell the thing and put the money towards a new one at this rate.

Hi Dave just read your post. I'm having trouble with my Renault Trafic 21 plate using oil. Can I sak which dealer kept fobbing you off?

 

[nikovitkovic2]

You need to found reason of your dpf blockage first step for that is software update that cars have many software updates and then go further with this regenerations you just damage dpf when you found right reason car will do automatic regeneration while you drivin check with your garage for software update?

Hi Dave I have a 2019 Trafic with the same high oil consumption. No other issues runs great no oil leaks no smoke this is the second one I have had the same problem with dealer fitted a turbo on the first one under warranty which didn’t help so refunded me and stupidly I bought another with 66000 miles thinking I was just unlucky with the first one. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Dcowie]

Surely this must be a common fault on the Renault engines mine is exactly same as being described 2019 traffic business +

 

[evhlifts]

I've had exactly the same fault it's very common on this van along with the vivaro and primstar. Get the DPF either replaced which isn't cheap or go down the route of having it cut open cleaned, welded back together and then deleted. It's a an issue with this van and Renault will not want to admit that.

Hi all quick update
I was advised to replace the PCV breather in the rocker cover which I have done and has made no difference to the oil consumption. Just incase anyone else was thinking about trying this.

Hi all, just came across this post. Seem to be having the same issue with my 1.6 130bhp Megane GT Line Tourer - serviced 3,000kms ago, check oil light came on and checked the oil.. basically empty. Topped up again until mechanic can see it next week. I've also got the dreaded check anti pollution system message on the dash as well.
Car has been faultless in driving, only issue was a repeated failure of a tire pressure sensor which sorted itself out - has anyone had any luck getting this fixed on a Megane?

 

[NEWTOG]

I had the same issue new turbo, dpf pressure pipe, egr valve and now waiting to see if the DPF blocks up again and monitoring the oil Spent £3.500 so far

Ant updates on this? Mine has eaten the turbo at 30000 miles

 

[Plecco]

I'm also very interested to know if your problems were solved with the fixes. Cheers

 

[Stwve172]

Hi OK I have this,I have been told that one of the egr valves (I haven't checked If it has two ) however the same applies if it has one is forcing the oil out of the sump back through the turbo and contaminating the dpf. This isn't due to a faulty egr but more to do with the fact its open too long.
So it's a known issue and there is a software update although not everyone will admit it .
Hope this helps. Mine is sat here with a blown turbo at 30000 miles .

Did you get this information from a Renault dealer? I’ve got a Trafic with all the symptoms above, high oil usage etc just spoke to my local Renault dealer and they are denying there’s any software update

 

[Foxe92]

Would be interesting to hear if anyone's got any updates on these issues? I've got a 2018 R9M single turbo engine and I think it's burning oil, blocking up the DPF, causing too many regens and diluting the oil too quickly. Very interesting to hear Stwve172 info on the EGR system a couple of posts above. I wonder what year engines that may apply to?

 

[ThePlumberGuy]

Just sent my 1.6 traffic in as had it 2 months (19 plate 67k miles) serviced on initial buying, had to fill with oil 1 month later as empty, lasted another month empty again.
They’ve performed a software update to the injection computer and im to monitor it…..

Hello mate did you get a resolution!

 

[Foxe92]

Cheers for your reply @ThePlumberGuy. Let us know how you get on please. Wonder what the software update actually does...

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been asked before. I have a 2019 Trafic from new. Since last April I’ve started to get the Check Injection warning followed by engine management light. Took it into local dealers to be told it was caused by oil dilution and my service would fix it. It did for a month or so but came back again. At that time I also noticed I was using an awful lot of oil. Literally topping every week or so despite no patches under van or smoke from it burning off. Again they carried out a diagnostic and said oil dilution. I asked why the oil was low when dilution should cause it to increase? Basically fobbed me off. Anyway we move on a few weeks. STOP light comes on. Call out the RAC he tells me the DPF isn’t regenerating as I’d suspected. He forced one that went to 100% but still showed as failed on his system. For the next few weeks it drove like a racing car most responsive it’s ever been. Fast forward a few weeks and the Check Injection message is back and the engine light with check emissions. I took it to my pal who’s a mechanic as I’m sick of being stitched up at the dealers and the problem not being identified. So far he’s changed the oil and cleaned the oil pressure sensor I think. Ran well for 3 weeks now it’s back again. Obviously the dpf isn’t regenerating but I don’t understand why the oil is being used so fast when everything I’ve learned says oil dilution means the oil rises with added fuel after a failed regen? Hope that makes sense I’m at my wits end. It may be two separate issues I have or could the dpf problems cause me to use a lot of oil?
Thanks all 👍🏻

An interesting description of the problems that you have been having - I have a number of Renault Red Master vans and the same issues you have described above are a mirror image to the experience that I have with the ones I have. I also have an associate that has many more vans than I from Movano, Fiat and Renault with the same DPF problems - I am convinced that this is a manufacture problem and they are not admitting to the problems. Now with a DPF claim being issued against Jaguar/Land Rover, I am convinced that this will ripple through the car industry. When it does, I will be first in the que to claim. I purchase vans at 45-50k and spend another 48% on them to resolve these same issues that you have mentioned.

I've had the exact same problem... all of it. Started off with 'check injection', then 'check anti-pollution system', then 'STOP! and engine failure'. Had two forced regens and got clogged up with 2 weeks each time, was driving fast enough (45+mph) to trigger a regen in this time. Took to a garage and they just put their head in their hands! Van chews through oil. 2019 plate, renault trafic, and apparently software up to date. I took the rash decision of having the DPF chopped out and system remapped, van can move now which is good... but burns through oil. Did anyone get to the bottom of this and what causes the excess oil burning? This van doesn't have a turbo btw.

No turbo and burning oil on a diesel ..........................

Rings, valve stems, PCV system blocked, too much oil (wrong dipstick), dirty gummed-up motor with blocked oil return passages (oil accumulates in head), head gasket failure, head/block crack
