Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
The engine code is essential for ordering parts, diagnosing issues, and verifying compatibility. It is not the same as the VIN or chassis number. This guide shows exactly where to find it - by model and engine type - using official Dacia and DVLA sources
A unique identifier stamped on the engine block or cover used for parts and service.
The vehicle identification number that holds encoded vehicle and engine information.
The chassis or frame number used for registration and legal identification.
Locate the engine code on the timing cover at the front of the engine. It is stamped into the metal or on a label near the camshaft housing. Look for 'K9K' followed by variant number.
The engine code is located on a label attached to the valve cover. It reads 'H4M' followed by variant (e.g., H4M410). Also check near the oil filler cap.
Open the hood and look at the front of the engine near the turbocharger. The code is on a white label or stamped on the engine block. Confirm 'TCe' designation.
The engine code is cast into the front of the cylinder head, near the timing belt cover. Look for 'F4R' followed by variant number (e.g., F4R732).
Engine code locations per Dacia Service Manual. V5C field definitions from DVLA Guide to Vehicle Registration. VIN structure compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, Article 7.
A technical breakdown of Dacia's core engine systems including TCe turbocharging, Blue dCi diesel technology, timing architectures and Renault-Nissan platform sharing with documented reliability impacts.
TCe (Turbo Control efficiency) is Dacia's turbocharged petrol engine family, sourced from Renault-Nissan. These engines use direct injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing for improved efficiency and performance.
Small-displacement turbocharged engines (0.9L-1.3L) with direct fuel injection. Turbocharger provides boost at low RPMs for torque. Variable valve timing optimises power and efficiency across the rev range.
H4Bt 0.9L (2012)
Timing chain issues
H5H 1.0L (2017)
Improved reliability
H5H 1.3L (2018)
Co-developed with Mercedes
H5H LPG (2019)

TCe 90 timing chain
Early models (2012-2015) chain tensioner failure

All technical descriptions and failure data sourced from Renault-Nissan Technical Documentation, Dacia Service Information, and EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 on vehicle type-approval.
Authoritative data on Dacia's global engine production, plant operations, and Renault-Nissan strategic partnerships. All figures sourced from Renault Group Annual Reports and EU industrial compliance records.
Dacia engines are manufactured at Renault-Nissan alliance facilities, primarily in Romania and Morocco.
Dacia produces approximately 260,000-280,000 engines per year. Note the steady decline in Diesel production due to Euro 6d regulations, while LPG integration rises.
Note: Diesel production has declined steadily due to Euro 6d and WLTP regulations (Regulation (EC) No 715/2007). LPG integration rising due to cost savings.
Dacia is fully integrated into the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, sharing engines, platforms, and technology across all three brands.
Used in Renault, Nissan, Mercedes (OM607), and Dacia
Shared across Renault, Dacia, and Nissan models
Renault-Nissan Alliance Strategy 2020
Shift in production reflects EU emissions policy and Dacia's focus on affordable LPG technology.
This aligns with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (WLTP/RDE) and EU 2035 ICE phase-out roadmap.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
Confirm the full engine designation using vehicle-specific manufacturer records and the engine marking. An engine serial number, a registration record and a marketed power badge are not automatically the same identifier. Match the VIN/build data and the installed engine before selecting parts or a replacement.
No. A factory-application reference and a replacement-interchange decision are different. Match the full engine designation, vehicle build data, emissions equipment, controls and relevant supplier/OEM information.
No. Records have different review states. Read the correction notice, source scope and application limits on the individual record. Missing technical fields must not be inferred from similar engine codes.
EngineCode.uk provides reference information about Dacia engines. It is operated by Engine Finders UK Ltd and also offers an optional replacement-engine enquiry service.
