Petrol to diesel engines

Can I replace a petrol engine in a 2008 Renault Megane with a diesel engine?

Yes you could, but it would cost you twice to three times what the result would be worth, so makes far more sense to p/x a petrol Megane for a diesel.

Our Fuel Cost Calculator shows you which will be the best choice for you.

Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.

Petrol or diesel ... or even electric?
