Mercedes Citan 108 CDI Injector & EGR Issues

If your Citan 108 CDI has the K9K diesel engine — that's the W415 generation, produced from 2012 to 2021 — injector failure and EGR clogging are well-documented patterns on this Renault-sourced unit. We replace injectors, EGR components, and timing chain components as standard on every K9K rebuild.

Mercedes Citan 108 CDIENGINE OPTIONS

Every CITAN 108 CDI is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.

01MOST POPULAR

REBUILDING YOUR CITAN 108 CDI ENGINE

We rebuild the engine your CITAN 108 CDI already has instead of selling you a used engine of unknown history — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chains, bearings, water pump, gaskets) with updated OEM parts. Near-new performance with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty.

From £3,200

RECONDITIONED CITAN 108 CDI ENGINES

REFURBISHED CITAN 108 CDI ENGINES

Restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild service covers this.

USED CITAN 108 CDI ENGINES

Matched low-mileage used engines for when time is critical. We source and fit these too, but most owners choose a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risks.

ABOUT THE MERCEDES CITAN 108 CDI ENGINE

Mercedes AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The Citan 108 CDI uses the K9K — a 1.5-litre diesel unit sourced from Renault, shared with the Kangoo of the same era. It was fitted across the W415 generation from 2012 to 2021. This engine is known for injector and EGR-related wear over time, which is why we replace those components as standard on every rebuild. The Citan 108 CDI is no longer in production, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.

We continue to rebuild and replace M256 engines for every CITAN 108 CDI on the road.

MERCEDES CITAN 108 CDI ENGINE CODES

M256

M256 (R190, 2023–present)

A 3.0-litre inline-six petrol mild-hybrid engine fitted to the CITAN 108 CDI from 2023 to present. The M256 features an integrated starter-generator (ISG) and electric auxiliary compressor, making it a more modern and efficient design than the older M276 V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every M256 rebuild.

MERCEDES CITAN 108 CDI ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Mercedes touring in workshop

The K9K engine is specific to the W415 generation Citan. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:

Your exact engine code (M256) via registration or VIN

Your generation (R190)

Drivetrain and ancillary specification

Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build

This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic Citan quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
