MR16DDT 1.6 DIG-T

The turbocharged Juke engine, and quick enough to make the car genuinely entertaining. Direct injection means the intake valves collect deposits, so a car with no decarbonising history will feel flat.

Engine and component issues

Carbon buildup on intake valvesdirect injection€400–€700
Rough cold idle, slow throttle response, misfires, gradual loss of low-end response. Direct injection puts no fuel over the intake valves, so crankcase vapour deposits bake on undisturbed.
Check: Not visible without a borescope. Treat it as a service item that's due unless there's a receipt. It's not a fault, it's an unbudgeted maintenance cost.
