Replacing the absorber for Renault Logan produced in case of violation of the tightness of its body (can be determined by the smell of gasoline or by visual inspection), as well as in the event of a malfunction of the solenoid valve absorber blowdown (unstable engine idling).
The procedure for replacing the absorber with Renault Logan and Renault Sandero:

Renault Logan is a well-known model that belongs to the category of economy class cars. The French company Renault, which in the process of creation was guided by the sale of cars in developing countries, acted as the developer. The advantages of Logan are simplicity in operation, economy, high level of comfort and low maintenance costs. If you have certain knowledge and skills, repairing Renault Logan with your own hands is not difficult even for beginner car enthusiasts.
Work on the model began back in 1998. The developers aimed to make a reliable and affordable car that would satisfy the needs of middle class car enthusiasts. In 2004, production started in Romania, and a year later, production was launched in Russia. Over time, India, Mexico and a number of other countries joined the production of popular cars. Despite the difference in names, the base and equipment have remained almost unchanged.
In 2008, the technical parameters and appearance of Renault were improved. The optics, the shape of the bumpers, the luggage compartment cover and the radiator grill have changed. The interior has also improved - head restraints have appeared in the back, the steering wheel and door cards have changed. The technical part has also undergone adjustments - the engine, gearbox and other components.
The car is produced in the following body types:
The main sign of reliability is the popularity of the car among taxi drivers, who called the model "not killed". Maintenance is carried out every 15 thousand kilometers and includes the following works:
Subsequent inspections and restoration work are carried out at the same interval (15 thousand kilometers). In general, maintenance involves 8 stages (up to 120 thousand kilometers).
The service manual contains complete information on the operation of the Reno vehicle:
Body repair, cleaning of deflectors and roof-mounted sunroof.
Monitoring the condition of the engine, draining fluid from the filtering device and scheduled maintenance.
Clutch maintenance (checking and adjusting free play, replacing faulty components).
Determination of the level of wear of discs and brake pads, the condition of the hydraulic drive and the volume of brake fluid.
Checking the steering system, windscreen washer and valve body.
Technical control of shock absorbers and suspension system elements.
Monitoring the performance of lighting devices, wiper blades, rear-view mirrors.
Diagnostics of the ECU with your own hands.
Checking light bulbs and battery voltage level.
The reliability and service life of the car depends on the timeliness of maintenance. With information available, operation and repair are not difficult even for a beginner. The main thing is to consider the following points:
Despite a number of "weak points", Reno Logan is a reliable car, distinguished by ease of operation and availability of components. In this section you will find complete information on car repair, gain experience in performing simple and complex works, and also learn useful secrets from experts in their field.
A failed muffler can cause a lot of trouble for the car owner. And the Renault Logan driver is no exception. Fortunately, the muffler can be repaired by hand. And for this you absolutely do not need to go to the nearest car service. Let's figure out exactly how this is done.
Even a novice driver can understand that the car's muffler is out of order.
Here are the main signs of problems with this device:
the smell of exhaust gases appeared in the cabin;
engine power has noticeably decreased for no apparent reason;
the engine started to run very loudly;
the noisy operation of the engine is accompanied by loud claps, similar to pistol shots.
Most of the above signs indicate that a hole has formed in the device due to thermal corrosion. A decrease in power is observed due to clogging of the resonator or catalyst of the machine. Alternatively, the smallest holes in the "honeycomb" of the catalyst can simply coke due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. And the temperature, in turn, rises as a result of the combustion of low-quality fuel. Finally, pistol shots are the result of air entering the vehicle's fuel system. Among these malfunctions, the breakdown of the muffler mounts stands apart. Let's consider it in more detail.
The characteristic thud that is heard from under the bottom of the Renault Logan while driving, says only one thing: the muffler mount needs to be replaced. The mechanism hangs under the bottom of the machine on two brackets covered with special abrasion resistant rubber.
But even such rubber can wear out after 100 thousand kilometers.
After that, the device begins to dangle in the bracket and knock on the bottom of the car. It is not possible to restore the worn-out rubber somehow. In any case, in a garage. So there is only one option: buying new rubberized brackets and installing them in place of the old ones.
You need to purchase 2 brackets for the Renault Logan muffler at the auto shop. The best option would be to buy Sasic products (catalog number 40015–80). The cost of these brackets varies from 580 to 750 rubles.
The car is installed on an inspection pit or on an overpass. A 10 spanner wrench unscrews a pair of fastening bolts on the front bracket. The same wrench unscrews a pair of bolts on the rear bracket.
The brackets are removed, replaced with new ones, the bolts are screwed into place.
Between the main muffler and the resonator of the Renault Logan there is a pipe, at the junction of which a special gasket is installed. Thanks to this joint, the silencer does not need to be removed entirely: if the resonator breaks down, only it can be removed. The main body of the device can also be removed separately. This is convenient, but the joint on the pipe and the gasket are the weakest points in the structure. The gasket very often burns out, after which the pipe at the joint begins to dangle and knock. To replace it, you need the following tools:
new gasket for Renault Logan;
socket head for 10 with a long crank;
long chisel;
liquid WD40;
hammer.
The car is installed on an inspection pit, wheel chocks are installed under the wheels.
The bolts holding the gasket are very often corroded. Therefore, they are treated with WD40 liquid, which will facilitate their loosening.
After processing, the bolts on the gasket are unscrewed with a socket head by 10, the joint on the muffler pipe is disconnected.
Access to the old gasket is opened. If it is burnt to the pipe, it will be almost impossible to remove it manually. Therefore, it is cut down with a hammer and a long chisel.
A new one is installed in place of the cut-out gasket. The optimal choice would be a gasket from BOSAL, which is the official supplier of parts for Renault Logan exhaust systems (catalog number - 256–056, cost - from 400 rubles).
After installing the gasket, a pipe is installed on it, the previously unscrewed bolts by 10 are screwed into their regular places.
Going to the store for a new device for the Renault Logan car, you should know: this part is not sold anywhere in full. That is, the car owner will not be able to purchase the main muffler, resonator and intake pipe in one set. These parts will have to be purchased separately. It is better if the car owner opts for BOSAL products. Another good option would be ATIHO spare parts. In terms of cost, the products of these companies are almost the same:
the intake pipe costs 1,500 rubles;
main muffler - 2,000 rubles;
resonator - 1800 rubles.
Before starting work, you should decide on the necessary tools and consumables. Here's what we need:
new "Glushak" for "Logan";
liquid WD40;
socket heads for 10 and 16 with a ratchet wrench;
flashlight.
The machine is installed on an inspection pit or overpass.
The front of the muffler hangs on a rubber strap. It is processed with WD40 fluid.
After 15 minutes, the attachment pin of the device is manually removed from the rubber clamp.
Two nuts for 10 located at the junction of pipes with a gasket are unscrewed.
After that, the wire at the exhaust gas control sensor is manually disconnected.
In the back, near the resonator, there is a second sensor - a lambda probe. Its wire is also manually disconnected.
Next to the lambda probe wire is another rubber fixing clamp, which is also treated with WD40 fluid.
After 15 minutes, the rear of the mechanism is removed from the clamp.
This part rests on the crossbeam under the bottom of the machine.The beam interferes with the removal of the structure, so it must be unscrewed using the socket head 16.
After unscrewing the beam, the mechanism is completely removed from under the bottom of the car and replaced with a new one. After that, all fasteners are assembled in the reverse order.

So, even a novice car enthusiast can handle replacing the muffler with Renault Logan. All that is required is a pair of socket wrenches and the skill of working with them. Minor problems can arise with rusted bolts and tight clamps, but they can be successfully solved with the help of WD40 fluid, which is sold in every spare parts store.
