Df038 Renault Scenic 2 ((new)) -

Before replacing expensive parts, understand that DF038 means "low boost." It does not automatically mean your turbocharger is dead. Here are the common culprits, from most likely to least.

The 1.9 dCi uses a variable nozzle turbo (VNT). Small vanes inside the turbo adjust the airflow to build boost. Over time, soot and carbon build-up cause the vanes to stick. If they are stuck in the "low boost" position, the turbo cannot spin fast enough to create pressure, triggering DF038. df038 renault scenic 2
