Problem is love, you've bought a Renault . Time to sell up and buy something good.
In order to give be a proper diagnosis I'm gonna need to see some tits.

The problem is she bought a new Renault.
The Renault 205 for example is solid as fuck and costs pennies to repair when something does eventually break.

1.5dci has huge problems with injectors sooting, turbo failing, piston rings sticking, fuel system munching itself (fuck Delphi) and EGR valve dying.
Firstly, buy a new fuel filter. Cut the old one apart (wear rubber gloves) and check for little shards of metal in the filter.
If you have this problem, sell the car at any cost. Your fuel pump has munched itself and contaminated the entire fuel system with metal shards (Renault will charge £3500-4500 to fix this).
If there's no metal, it's likely your injectors. Perform a leak-off test and identify the problem injectors. Before fitting new injectors, remove EGR valve and clean the EGR and its housing with brake cleaner to remove the soot.
