A 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol four developed jointly by the Renault-Nissan alliance and Mercedes-Benz, and one of the clearest cases in this catalogue of a single engine with two identities: Renault and Dacia sell it as the 1.3 TCe (H5Ht), Nissan as the HR13DDT, and Mercedes-Benz as the M282 in the A-Class, CLA and GLA. This entry carries no single designer for that reason — the same choice the BMW/PSA Prince required.
That matters practically. A Mercedes A 200 and a Dacia Sandero share an engine, so a fault documented under any one of those designations applies to the others, and the Renault-badged cars are by far the better documented of the three.
Technically it uses bore coating rather than liners, direct injection, and cylinder deactivation on the middle two cylinders under light load. That last feature is worth knowing before diagnosing an intermittent misfire, because the fault may present only in the deactivated state or only outside it. It replaced the 1.2 TCe and does not inherit that engine's oil-consumption reputation.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
