Engine Internal
In the Duster's 1.5 dCi K9K engine, partial or complete clogging of the EGR valve due to carbon deposits is common; this causes power loss, jerky acceleration, and the check engine light to come on.
Exhaust Emissions
The turbocharger in the 1.5 dCi is often mentioned among failure-prone parts: symptoms include power loss, abnormal noises, heavy smoke, and oil in the intake ducts. In some cases, DPF failure or injection issues have increased stress on the turbo.
