Renault Koleos
Renault's large crossover, and both generations are Nissan underneath — the first is built on the X-Trail T31 platform by Renault Samsung in Korea, the second on the X-Trail T32 — so Nissan information is the correct information for the driveline, which is the fact that saves the most time. That includes the transmission: most Koleos are CVT cars using Jatco units, and their fluid-temperature, ratio-error and pressure codes read exactly as they do on an X-Trail. The all-wheel-drive system is Nissan's electronically controlled coupling with the same lock and torque-split faults. The 2.0 dCi is Renault's own engine and is the one part where Renault data applies.

Service information
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.
