P0087 on Dacia
Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low
P0087 on Dacia vehicles indicates fuel rail/system pressure - too low. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Dacia model — most commonly on Sandero. This code means the fuel rail or fuel system pressure has dropped below the level the engine's computer expects. The computer monitors a fuel pressure sensor and has seen pressure fall too low, meaning the engine isn't getting enough fuel — especially noticeable under acceleration or load. This is most common on direct-injection and diesel systems that run very high pressures. Symptoms include hard starting, stalling, hesitation, lack of power, and possible limp mode. Typical repair costs on Dacia range from $250 to $4,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0087
- •Clogged or dirty fuel filter
- •Weak or failing fuel pump (lift pump or high-pressure pump)
- •Faulty fuel pressure regulator or control valve
- •Restricted or leaking fuel lines
- •Faulty fuel pressure sensor
- •Air in the fuel system or running low on fuel
- •Worn high-pressure pump (direct injection/diesel)
P0087 on Dacia by Model
Dacia Sandero(1 issue)
- Sandero / Duster 1.5 dCi K9K Bosch CP1 Injector Failure2008-2020
The K9K 1.5 dCi diesel — used across Dacia Sandero, Duster, Logan, plus Renault Clio/Captur/Kadjar, Nissan Note/Juke — suffers Bosch CP1 high-pressure pump and injector failure typically at 100,000-180,000 km. Worst case: pump self-destructs and sends metal particles through the entire fuel system, requiring full rail+pump+injector replacement (€2,500-€4,000).
