On a similar note Renault are discontinuing diesel engines from their future range.

Something about being unable to meet future emissions.

I think you will find that Renault are considering or consulting dropping Diesels from their future production - it's not a done deal yet.

As one of my previous posts - If Renault stop producing diesels they wil stop selling a lot of cars to French motorists - France runs on diesel oil.

The D4 VEA motor is excellent in every respect, apart from the EGR cooler problem. Mine wil be getting its third replacement EGR cooler and valve next week, after 26 months and 23,000 miles.

Drivers that do high miles (i.e. 20,000+ per year) find it takes longer for the coolers and valves to gunk up, but it still happens. The type of fuel used makes no difference either.

Volvo claim to have a definitive fix now, but as it's taken them 3 years to work it out, I'm not confident that it is definitive.

19000 miles, 24 months old, 5 referrals (including a failed definitive fix) - GETTING PETROL.
