Exhaust gas temperature sensor possible trigger for power loss and DPF problems in the 2019 Renault Clio Hybrid

Hey guys, I'm worried about my 2019 Renault Clio Hybrid with about 13242 km on the odometer. Had a bad experience with my garage the other day and now my "Check Engine" light is on, the engine has lost power and there was a problem with the DPF regeneration. The exhaust also smells extremely bad. I suspect this could be due to the exhaust temperature sensor. Have any of you ever had similar problems and how did the whole thing go at the workshop? I would be delighted to hear about your experiences!

Summary of the thread

A 2019 Renault Clio Hybrid is experiencing power loss, a "Check Engine" light, DPF regeneration issues, and a bad exhaust smell. The suspected cause is a faulty exhaust gas temperature sensor. A similar case with a 2016 Renault Megane involved a leaking exhaust system, which required sensor replacement and system sealing to resolve the issue. The recommendation is to have the car checked at a garage to prevent further damage.

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2016 Renault Megane last year. My exhaust system was leaking badly, so it was emitting smoke and interfering with the overall engine function similar to your situation now. It turned out that the exhaust gas temperature sensor and the DPF needed to be patched. The DPF regeneration was not working properly because of the leak. It was quite severe and of course had to be repaired in the workshop. The sensor had to be replaced and the system completely sealed. It wasn't pleasant, but it was necessary to prevent further damage. If you see this Check Engine indicator and the exhaust stinks, you should definitely get the car checked. It seems to be a serious problem. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But take it to the garage before it gets worse. Hopefully it will be easier to fix than it was for me. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply! You must have had the same problems I'm having right now... That doesn't sound good at all. Can you remember roughly how much it cost at the garage? And have you had any other incidents since then or has everything gone smoothly? Thanks again and have a good start to the day!

Hey, no problem! So fixing the defect in the exhaust gas temperature sensor went smoothly. After that, the issue was resolved. It wasn't particularly cheap, but what can you do, right? The simple repair of the rather leaky exhaust system cost me about 265 euros. Since then, the car has been running like clockwork and I've had no further incidents. So don't let it get you down, you'll get it sorted! Have a good start back and don't hang your head!

Ah, that reassures me a little, thanks for the info. Of course, it's always annoying when unexpected costs arise, but it's good to know that everything went smoothly again afterwards. I'll go to the garage tomorrow. I hope it turns out as well as it did for you. Your words have really encouraged me! Thank you again, and take care of yourself. Have a nice day!
