Same old Renault engine as used in the Qashqai, Juke, even the new Mercedes A Class. If used for repeated short runs from cold this is inevitable. If used as intended and run to temperature then should be okay. But the car has been out for a couple of years so there should be something on Google. These people are offering DPFs for Dusters at half price: www.onlineautomotive.co.uk/Dacia_Duster_DPF.aspx
