📖Dacia Dokker Facelift: refined cabin aesthetics and modernised powertrains

Dacia Dokker (facelift 2017) (2017-2020)

Unveiled in 2017, the facelifted Dacia Dokker refreshed the exterior styling with a redesigned front grille and upgraded interior trim while preserving the vehicle's core appeal: unmatched volume per pound. Keeping running costs low relies on proactive Dacia Dokker maintenance, particularly as this production phase phased out legacy engines in favour of tighter emissions-compliant units.

The mechanical overhaul brought the refined 1.3 TCe petrol engine (H5H), developed jointly with Daimler, which cured the oil burning issues of its 1.2-litre predecessor while delivering superior torque. Diesel duties transitioned to the 1.5 Blue dCi engine equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). While this diesel system delivers low emissions on motorways, frequent short journeys can lead to AdBlue injector crystallisation and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve clogging.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The 1.3 TCe engine offers impressive refinement, stronger mid-range torque and vastly improved reliability over the 1.2 TCe.
  • Outstanding luggage capacity and generous 5-seat passenger space that outperforms conventional estate cars.
  • The 1.5 Blue dCi engine achieves stellar fuel economy on extended motorway and regional delivery journeys.
  • Straightforward mechanical layout keeps hourly labour rates and routine replacement part costs very reasonable.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 1.5 Blue dCi AdBlue system: inspect SCR injector for urea crystallisation and ensure correct AdBlue quality and tank heating.
  • 1.3 TCe turbocharger and oil circuit: adhere to strict RN17 specification engine oil to preserve timing chain and turbo bearings.
  • Sliding door guide rollers: clean road grit from bottom sill tracks and lubricate intermediate runner pivots.
  • Front running gear: check wishbone rear rubber bushes, steering tie rods and front shock absorber top mount bearings.
  • DPF soot loading on Blue dCi: monitor regeneration frequency and avoid exclusively urban, cold-engine driving cycles.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change every 15,000 km or 12 months using strictly manufacturer-approved RN17 or RN17 FE oil.
  • Cambelt kit, auxiliary drive belt and water pump renewal every 150,000 km or 72 months on 1.5 Blue dCi engines.
  • Diesel fuel filter and air filter replacement every 30,000 km or 24 months to protect the common-rail injection system.
  • Brake fluid replacement and front suspension geometry check every 24 months or 40,000 km.
