Looking for some guidance. I’m currently driving a B180 CDI 2014, and it is woefully underpowered. Can anyone guide me on where the common rail plug is as I am considering trying a tuning box but can’t find the plug location. Any help will be greatly appreciated

The cheap tuning boxes usually piggyback onto the rail pressure sensor. It’s on the end of the fuel rail. If you can find the injectors, each has a metal pipe that goes back to a metal tube mounted horizontally on the top of the engine. The rail pressure sensor is on one end of that metal tube

Thanks. I checked for that and can't find anything remotely resembling that. Some people telling me it should be at the back of the engine and others at the front. I'm baffled.

You have the Renault 1.5dci engine. It’s beneath the plastic cover. It’s actually a bit of work to get the cover off
