The rework operation begins with the dismantling of the Renault central tunnel. You will have to remove the plug with the cup holder by unscrewing the fasteners with the TORX adjustable wrench. The plastic parts are removed and a couple of screws in the cup holder are exposed. Directly under the Renault's front console there are a pair of rectangular outlets, from where there is a random spray of cold and hot air. An intermediate task is to manufacture an 80x20 mm adapter for these nozzles.
Work is being carried out on Renault Sandero 2 and the standard air ducts from the first model will not work due to the different diameters of the mounting holes.
Let's complete the task by using an ordinary plastic bottle, preheated with a hairdryer. Let's give the material a rectangular shape of the required size with a diameter of 34 mm.
Instead of a bottle, it is allowed to use fiberglass.
Having made a couple of adapters, you need to connect them with one end to the Renault nozzle, leading the other to the rear seats. Now, Renault passengers sitting in the back will be able to feel competently distributed heat and the ride will become much more comfortable.
Renault's comfort can be further improved by upgrading the vehicle's standard head restraints. The location of these components in the front seats is extremely inconvenient. Let's set the task of improving the ergonomics of standard head restraints. It is necessary to remove the elements and bend the fasteners by bending them with a vice.
When folding with your own hands, wrap the steel pin with a cloth to avoid damage to the paintwork.
It is necessary to bend it individually, based on its own anatomical features.
Renault's optional but eye-catching enhancement concerns the redesign of the fan injector. It is necessary to achieve a more modern style of liquid spraying, having achieved adherence to the beautiful fan principle.
Traditionally, spraying has been carried out using the spray principle, which is not characterized by uniformity.
The revision will be reduced to the installation of new injectors. It is necessary to open the hood and remove the tube through which the liquid is supplied, squeeze the clips, pushing out the nozzles. The installation of new elements is carried out in the same way.
Almost all Renault Sandero modifications have an electric trunk, but not all configurations are equipped with a special button in the cabin. We will use the button for turning off the parking sensors installed in the standard socket.
If you use non-standard equipment, then there will be a need to cut it into the Renault Sandero panel. Connection is carried out by searching for the required contact using a tester. It is necessary to find the contact that closes at the moment the luggage compartment is opened and connect the button wire to it, having done this in a special connector located under the casing. Pulling the wire to the trunk from the button is performed under the interior plastic panels.
The revision associated with the manufacture of quick-detachable battery terminals for Renault Sandero will be useful. For this purpose, we use an eccentric bolt from a seat or a bicycle hub. Select a bolt of the desired size by adjusting its length. There is no need to change the design of the standard terminals. The new bolt is inserted into the standard socket, so that the Renault Sandero terminal can be removed with a simple movement.
Use the bicycle seat eccentric bolt BZ0427, size M6.
To make the operation of the car more comfortable in the dark, the installation of illumination for the window regulator buttons will allow.The modernization of Renault Sandero 2 will not be difficult, because the developers have provided for the availability of the necessary connectors with lamps. You will need to add a wiring segment to provide power.
The procedure with your own hands can be performed using the following materials tools:
You will need to pry the window regulator button block from the inside and find the second contact on the right, located in the lower corner. Here you just need to add a wire, placing it to the left of the blue cable, putting in a counterpart for the yellow insulation, which is always in the "+" of the working ignition.
Additionally check with a voltmeter.
All wires are fixed and the unit is installed in a standard socket. The operation is performed on every Renault door. It is better to get acquainted with the operation in detail in the video. When upgrading a car with your own hands, carefully study the video materials.
By upgrading the machine, you greatly simplify the operation using available methods with minimal costs. Most activities take no more than 30 minutes, and completing the task will increase the convenience and performance of individual nodes.
During the operation of any car, including Renault Sandero Stepway, its technical condition changes. These changes are caused by the fact that the working surfaces of the parts wear out, as well as the aging process occurs in technical products. To keep Renault Sandero Stepway in good technical condition, it is necessary to carry out maintenance on a regular basis - MOT - zero and subsequent, in order to make timely repairs and replace some parts. Especially if the operation takes place in dusty conditions, low temperatures, high humidity.
Consider the main elements that are contained in the maintenance regulations for Renault Sandero Stepway cars, and note the frequency with which it is necessary to carry out certain work to maintain a good operating mode of the car.
Service replacement and repair of parts and fluids is carried out at the service station.
The regulation involves checking the condition of the drive, hinge covers, and so on.
Every 15 thousand km: check of tires, pressure indicators, the first MOT is carried out after purchasing a car, the second after it has passed 15 thousand km.
It is also important to pay attention to a parameter such as zero maintenance. Every 15,000 km of run, the condition and level of the fluid in the reservoir is checked.
VIDEO
In this case, every 15,000 kilometers, the level in the brake fluid reservoir is checked, as well as the condition of the pipes and hoses, and the tightness of the drive.
Full disc wear usually occurs at 150,000 kilometers. Replacement of pads is carried out every 60,000 kilometers or even less, and a check is carried out every 30,000 kilometers.
The brake fluid is changed every two years.
The body and electrical equipment are checked every 15,000 kilometers, after 60,000 kilometers, according to the owners, some elements must be replaced.
Thus, maintenance is carried out on a regular basis, this allows you to avoid breakdowns and ensure safety for yourself and passengers for a long time.
In order for the Renault Sandero Stepway car repair to be carried out well, it is recommended to contact good specialists.But there are elements that you can repair with your own hands, spending a minimum of time. Consider the main breakdowns and their quick repair based on the reviews and recommendations of the happy owners of Renault Sandero Stepway.
Air filter replacement for Renault Sandero Stepway. This is one of the simplest maintenance operations, and every Renault Sandero Stepway owner should be able to perform it.
To replace it, it is enough to remove the air filter housing, clean its cavity from dirt, take out the old filter and put a new one in its place. If the case is fastened with metal clamps, then the process will not take more than half a minute.
Replacing the front brake discs in Renault Sandero Stepway is a responsible process, since the safety of the car depends on the quality of the installation. Therefore, when choosing products, it is not recommended to save. In the process of disassembling the brake assembly on the Renault Sandero Stepway and other work, it is necessary to remove the caliper and squeeze the piston. Do not forget about the seat for the disks, it must be cleaned before installing new ones, because after a while everything will be clogged and you will have to change disks ahead of time.
Replacing the engine filter on a Renault Sandero Stepway with your own hands - in general, the procedure is quite simple, you can see the work algorithm in the video. Wait for the oil to cool before changing. Before installing a new or refurbished filter, it is recommended to lubricate the threads and gasket with engine oil.
Replacing the front shock absorbers with a Renault Sandero Stepway will take less than an hour. But if you do not have a viewing hole, then difficulties will arise, in this case, it is better to contact the station. The sequence of works can be found by watching the video.
Thus, a competently carried out auto repair of Renault Sandero Stepway with your own hands will contribute to the fact that your car will serve for a long time. If you want to make your Renault Sandero Stepway ride safe and reliable, you need to entrust the repair to professionals. Many people ask themselves: how much does maintenance cost? It all depends on the station and the amount of work that will be done.
Good people, please tell me how to switch albums (folders) on the audio system (radio) in Stepway-2?
Click on the round in the center and then on the back arrow button. And there will be happiness.
Have you already figured out how to switch folders?
Hello to all! I want to share my problems that I encountered after buying Stepway-2.
In November 2015 I bought it at the TTS car dealership in Kazan. I traveled for two months. My friends and I went to Samara for the New Year holidays and on the way back on January 5th my “Stepan” will fly out of the fifth gear. After stopping, the 3rd, 4th and 5th gears were not included at all.
I called 88002000910 to call a free tow truck - I didn’t wait for the connection, but the machine said that the registration for the tow truck was the 7th!
In the second gear, in the evening I drove to Kazan quietly and straight to OD. They examined my car and promised to report the cause of the breakdown the next day. I asked for another car in return (until the end of the repair), to which I was told that, unfortunately, there were no free cars. It upset me a lot. I had so many plans for the holidays, but here it is!
It turns out that I bought myself a problem, not a new car. Good people, who can tell you how to get a car instead of your own, which is still under warranty?
Boys and girls, a car called Sandero Stepway has a clearance of 195 mm, which is an increased ground clearance. On the roads, my dears, whether you like it or not, will be blown away by the wind, etc., a driver with experience will slow down, and a driver without experience will understand what to do. I enter a turn at 110 km / h, and in case of drifts, I know what to do.
Having bought this car, I hope you understand that this car is not intended to solve your “off-road problems”. For all visitors to this site, I want to say that this car is not a "jeep", but a front-wheel drive car and it solves problems precisely as a car with increased ground clearance. In all situations, no matter how you want, setting the wheels, loading the luggage compartment, etc ... its control depends on you.
EXAMPLE: Today my wife and I went to the dacha, snow knee-deep. A neighbor on a Honda-SRV 4x4, he was afraid to go, but we drove where we need to. What ? Car? I believe is the driver.
P.S. It's not about the car, it's about the driver and desire. “STEPAN” - fulfills all its functions 100%.
What do we want from him: - patency; - manageability: - comfort at this price;
If you want a "jeep", then buy ... adding another half a million for yourself at least "Duster" and do not think. And there is no need to scold “Stepan” - first take it, try it, understand, and then scold it.
Do not fill. You haven’t gone anywhere and you haven’t traveled around anyone. On this car, except to move over the curb, nothing is possible. This is not an SUV ... With Duster, the difference is 150 thousand, no more. Don't scratch 🙂
Hello to all! I read reviews about “Stepka 2 ″ - how many“ problems ”do people have !?
I bought it myself in Togliatti (in the Lant showroom) - fully loaded, in the summer of 2015. I am very pleased with the machine. We often go outside the city, drove almost 15,000 km - soon the first T.O.
No problem, thank God. Before that there were Getz, Spectra, Kia Rio. The stepway was taken because of the clearance ... and in general: comfortable, simple, cheap to maintain, and after the "puzoterok" - generally excellent! The only drawback is the weak paintwork, but this is now not uncommon even for cars over 1,500,000. In its price category, this car is very worthy - you shouldn't scold ... learn to “read” the road and don't expect a car for 700 thousand off-road qualities. You need to get used to any car - there are no ideal ones to please everyone.
Teach me to read the road. And then I'm in nipanyatki - "how can you read it" 🙂
Hello. Bought the other day in the 2015 Stepway showroom.
I drove straight from the salon to the gas station - I filled in 15 liters of the 95th… after driving 64 km - the “tank empty” lamp came on. Prompt - it's normal that there is such an increased consumption during running-in.
In the salon monagers are stupid - they don’t know.
I took Styopa in June 2015. (release May 2015). The run-in (0-3000 km) and up to 10000 took place on the 92nd. I drove mainly in the city, the consumption was no more than 8.5 (when running in 8/100, while the revolutions did not rise above 3000). From 10,000 to the present, I fill in the 95th, the flow rate is not happy (9.5-10 / 100), after 400 km TO-1. I think that the flow rate has been increased just before MOT… the air is not of the first freshness, the oil is not fresh, maybe something else, MOT will show.
I traveled repeatedly in winter and summer on Stepway-2 from St. Petersburg to Saratov and back. No problem. Who knows the Saratov roads will understand 🙂
The car is ideal for Russia. Unpretentious, reliable. I'm happy with everything.
Compared to the first Stepway - much has been improved, almost all the shortcomings have been taken into account. I say this as a former owner.
I took the car in May 2015. I ran it in as expected, did not tear or skid. In all respects, it suits me (especially the clearance).
I travel a lot, and after 12,000 (after 2 months of operation) I went on vacation to the Volga beyond Astrakhan. Family of 4.
Yes - the trunk is too small, but the roof box has fixed everything. No complaints on the way, going uphill and downhill.
As for winter, the stove is warm (even with a margin), and it is not difficult to get through the snow-covered field roads. I fish myself, so there is a real need to get to the reservoir. And when you go along the paved track, where all the classic models cling, you feel a good sense of confidence.
Now the mileage is 45,000, the consumption of the spikes is 8.8l / 100km in mixed mode. It will be less on summer tires.
So, this machine has much more advantages than shortcomings.
Sandero Stepway 2015. The muffler is noisy, the ring on the muffler was changed - the sound still remained ... came again - they said that the ring needs to be changed again, but with the sealant ... what to do - the sound goes exactly where the catalyst is, but the guarantee claims that the ring needs to be changed? Help what to do!
Today the first MOT took place, no shortcomings were revealed.
On the weekend I drove a lot in snow and water, there were some noises in the timing belt, I thought that the tensioner roller bearing had collapsed, but it turned out that it was just snow that got into the belt.
I still think that “Styopa” is a car for Russian roads, I myself live in Chelyabinsk, whoever is from here will understand.
Good day to all! I ask the owners of Sandero Stepway 2 to tell me: Do you have a brand in the TCP, the model is spelled out “Renault Sandero Stepway”? And then I just have “Renault Sandero”, and in the name (type of vehicle) “Passenger Hatchback”. Although everywhere I read "Crossover" ... Maybe I have a left PTS'ka.
The question arose in connection with the need to replace the rearview mirror. On VIN'u in salons punched - in general "Logan 2014 release". Already 3 mirrors have been brought - the connectors do not fit!
Tell me what to do with the documents? I took a new car from an authorized dealer.
I also have Renault Sandero and a passenger hatchback in PTS.
I changed the left mirror myself (2 600 rubles at> / +7 (495) 798-26-14). And so - I searched everything - no.
The catalog issues without heating, and this is one to one. Good luck.
Finding the perfect car is not an easy task. Moreover, the price does not play a decisive role here. Defects and shortcomings are actually found in cars of any segment and cost. It is not surprising that the Renault Sandero hatchback has them as well, which in general is quite a worthy purchase. Meanwhile, the relatively inexpensive and very strong carrier of the B0 platform (the basis of Renault Logan) did not avoid design mistakes and weaknesses.
Radiator protection mesh Renault Logan / Sandero.
Installed safety net.
For example, immediately after the purchase, it will not hurt to protect the radiator with a mesh, since foreign elements enter through the large holes of the decorative grilles, leaving traces. It's simple: open the hood and attach the mesh.
It will not hurt to install a cabin filter either, since on the Russian market neither Sandero nor Logan were equipped with it by default. We open the glove compartment, arm ourselves with a flashlight and a screwdriver, and install the missing part.
To repair the horn button in Renault Logan / Sandero you need to remove the left stalk and column cover.
As a rule, the cause of the breakdown is in the broken wire.
Over time, the horn signal may break. Based on the rules of the road - the breakdown is serious. The reason, most often, lies in the broken wire. For repairs, unscrew the left steering column lever, the head of the light and turn signals. Why? Because the horn button is attached to its end. Removing it is simple: we unscrew two self-tapping screws on the steering wheel cover and two more on the switch itself. It shows the refraction of the wire. We change the wire to new ones, and the ailment is cured.
Extraneous sound under the hood on the right when driving Renault Logan / Sandero on rough roads, most likely caused by a loose washer barrel.
We reinstall it. Additionally, you can wrap it with insulating material, but not necessarily combustible.
On uneven road surfaces, an alien knocking on the right can be heard from under the hood. Probably a washer fluid reservoir. Over the years, it can loosen or fall off the mounts. There are two ways to eliminate extraneous sound: either tighten the tank itself and the fasteners, or remove the tank and wrap it with insulating, but non-combustible (important!) Material.
We remove the tube supplying fluid to the washer nozzles on the hood Renault Logan / Sandero , push out the old nozzle, put a new one.
Fan spray effect.
An optional but pleasant one is the possible replacement of the windscreen washer nozzles with parts from the next generation cars. Unlike the past "Logan" and "Sandero", where nozzles spray liquid in jets, on new cars they work in a fan-like manner, spraying the washer more evenly.
The replacement is incredibly easy. We open the hood. We pull off the tube supplying fluid to the nozzles in the area of the hood. We bend the plastic clips at the old injectors (on the inside of the hood), push them from below, thus pulling out the old injectors. Install the new ones in the reverse order.
These simple operations can significantly improve the objective perception of Renault Sandero, while not causing significant damage to the wallet.

Most electrical circuits in the vehicle are protected by fuses. Headlights, fan motors, fuel pump and other powerful consumers are connected via relays. Fuses and relays are installed in mounting blocks, which are located in the passenger compartment on the side of the instrument panel on the left side and in the space under the hood on the left and right sides of the battery.

In car care, and not only, I adhere to the principle: if you want to do well, do it yourself. I do not exclude that there are real specialists in their field. But even the most professional specialist will not do the job the way he would do for himself. Although, I do not consider it a panacea to do everything myself, I just like to service my car with my own hands. In addition, I do not have enough funds for maintenance.
Not long before the onset of TO-60, I prepared for it by purchasing a set of tools and a "murzilka". After I reviewed a bunch of different videos, here I have collected a collection from the guys "repair-Renault" - worthy videos. Then I slowly collected articles of spare parts for my car and looked closely at the analogues. Then I bought the required minimum set of spare parts in the online store. We did it the cheapest way in the Yulsun store.
In addition, I replaced the candles and power steering fluid. I will not describe this too boringly. I will only say that when replacing the candles, it is necessary to blow out the wells from dirt and dust, so that all this does not fall into the engine cylinders. I didn't change the brake pads - enough until spring. I generally consider replacing brakes and antifreeze a useless waste of money, but I'll think about it in the spring.
Now let's look at the condition of the old belts. At the time of replacement, the car was 4 years and 1.5 months old, mileage 54,500 km. The old belts look pretty good, I would even say they are in excellent condition. The candles, after a run of 30,000 km, are also in good condition.
In general, all costs for tools, books, spare parts amounted to about 11,000 rubles. The cost of a "murzilka" and a set of tools, I think, will pay off after two such procedures. Instead of belt rollers, auxiliary equipment, you can take only bearings and repress them - it will be 2 times cheaper. Now I have the old videos on my hands - another time I will try to do so. You could also save money on the accessory belt tensioner. It is said that a good tensioning belt runs down the center of the roller. My belt runs along the edge on the new one, on the old one. Can someone tell me what's the catch? Old I have not yet investigated in detail in what state it is.
I wish you that the valves of your engine never meet the pistons!
On this page you can download the manual (instruction) for the operation of Renault Sandero.
Renault Sandero is a very colorful hatchback. The car is a combination of a great platform with a statement of external aesthetics, and the price of this car is quite low. Everyone knows that new items do not come from auto designers, but from marketers.For twenty years the car has not received serious changes, all its innovations are rather interpreted by fashion. And Sandero was not among the exceptions
The marketers at Renault set a goal to meet the needs of the widest range of possible buyers, for this they successfully combined price and quality in the car, but here are the angular forms of Renault. leave much to be desired, it is not enough to say about him that he is contradictory.
But who said that even such a car cannot break down? Each car has its own “ingrained” breakdowns. And if you have some of them, then, depending on their degree, you can repair Renault Sandero with your own hands, in which case you simply cannot do without a manual for repair and operation, or contact an auto service, where, already professionals, will repair your hatchback, but this will require an investment of a certain amount of money, perhaps even a lot.
We bring to your attention a useful video for repairing Renault Sandero with your own hands.
VIDEO
Summer has passed, since the car was bought on May 30 and it turns out that we left for exactly three summer months, I decided to add a review
from the moment of purchase, we immediately bought floor mats on the market for the salon -1000 rubles (from the officials 3000 rubles), then the seat covers -1500 (the simplest, but came up fine)
in the middle of summer, they decided to tint the rear windows -3500 rubles (tinted at the officials for reliability, so a little expensive)
total for the time being 6000 rubles (if you buy another set of first-aid kit-sign, etc., then there will be another 1500 but we already had a set)
So my stepway has passed the 3 year warranty period. What has been done during this time:
1) changed under warranty additional belt. equipment due to extraneous noise (it looked like a whistle) - they said that it was a common problem. First, it was lubricated with something, it helped for 1-2 days. So I traveled to the off-dealer a couple of times, then they changed everything, of course - for free. It seems to have helped, but now - somewhere in 8-9 months - again sometimes I hear extraneous similar sounds from under the hood.
2) under warranty, the rear window heating was repaired: somehow part of one heating thread came off - they recognized it as a warranty case, applied some kind of electric paste (conductive) and it seemed to help.
Hello! Well, that passed the free zero maintenance. Pre-phoned, asked what they would do, is there any point in going. They said: “Of course there is, a useful thing. Prepare operational questions. Be sure to take a certificate for TO 0, a service book and a document for a car that the traffic police gave ”. I arrived, gave the certificate, took the key, and did not ask for the rest of the documents. And, they also asked: “are we going to change the oil?”. To which I was surprised. In general, they were not imposed. I heard that they just climb with butter - let's change it and that's it.
Well, the dealer brought the power steering hose in 10 days. Probably by a special flight of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on an airplane so that some commentators do not worry that the car will be waiting for 1.5 months. It turns out not just a hose, but a whole structure with two hoses, tubes, a sensor and a bunch of brackets ... The very replacement of this design took about an hour and a half. I think that in 20 minutes without rushing under a beer (as some here boasted that they could replace it), it would not work to change. These braggers would be taken as employees of dealerships. Normally, an hour would be to replace the power steering hose. would decrease 4 times, and we would be served 4 times cheaper, respectively.
Yesterday my wife arrived and said that something is crunching in the wheel and she cannot turn the wheels. In the morning I took the car to look. In short, Sandero turned into a Zhiguli. Power steering fluid leaked out through the high-pressure hose on the power steering. And the power steering pump crunched dry ... I drove into the store, bought dextron, poured it in and drove to the officials. As I arrived, I looked at the level. The level is in place, so the leak is not critical, but apparently slowly leaked out over the winter.
The hose is not in the warehouse or in Moscow. They said that they will bring it in approximately 1.5 months. If you are lucky and find it sooner. We will have to monitor the level and drive further.
Hello to AUTO LOVERS. I haven't saved up money for a good VD Auto, I continue to scoff at Stepa
Front spacers MATRESHKA G-NO full - from the beginning broke the support washers - welded in the bushings, threw in the rubber gaskets made of oil seals - ended up breaking the thread of the right rack when turning the steering wheel in place - well not on the move HA-HA - I was looking for the original for three days under the order 3000 rubles were brought from Novosib. - threw out this XP Matryoshka - lost 10 mm of clearance - I think to weld the channel from the bottom of the rack mount by 20 mm for drilling, of course, without warming up the rack, into those spacers without hemorrhoids (the difference between the Logan and Stepa rack is 24 mm higher, but of course the spring is different ) - who has thoughts about this.
Both technical and external modifications of Renault Sandero in the Stepway modification do not require special skills in car tuning. In the beginning, as a rule, the dynamic performance of the French crossover improves, which entails the completion of the braking system. Let's find out how to upgrade a model released by a well-known auto concern in 2014, and what parts to use to customize a car with your own hands.
One of the most effective and simple methods to increase the number of "horses" under the hood of a car has long been considered replacing the standard throttle. The standard choke is 46 mm in diameter, which means that not as much air is passed to the engine as required by the power unit. By installing a new part with a larger diameter, it is possible to achieve an increase in the amount of air, which will entail a decrease in fuel consumption. Despite all this, many experts are inclined to argue that replacing the throttle alone will not bring significant results on cars produced after 2014.
Renault Sandero We recommend that you familiarize yourself
To significantly increase the power of the engine, it will be necessary to change other elements of the machine - replace the candles, improve the circulation of antifreeze by replacing the GTZ and modify the clutch. On the one hand, this opinion is fully justified, and all these measures together will increase the power of the car. However, the installation of a new choke without reworking other parts also has a right to exist. Replacing this element with Sandero will add no more than 10 hp to the engine. with., but most experts resort to this operation not at all because of the increase in power.
The main reason for this tuning is the other advantages of the increased throttle, which include:
reducing the time for warming up the engine in winter;
softer ride on the track;
quick reaction of the motor to the driver's commands;
elimination of failures when shifting gears;
decrease in free travel of the clutch pedal.
Be very careful when choosing a new throttle body. The fact is that on sale you can find parts with a diameter of 52, 54 and 56 mm. Most Sandero owners mistakenly assume that the larger the part, the better the result. However, this is not quite true. If you bought an element with a diameter of 56 mm for tuning, when installing it, you will have to cut down a significant part of the cylinders. Otherwise, the part simply will not fall into place.
If you buy a 52-mm damper for about 6 thousand rubles, then there will be no problems with its installation on the Stepway. To install the element with our own hands, we need a hammer, a set of wrenches and screwdrivers, pliers. First you need to open the hood and remove the protective pad at the top of the motor. In this case, you need to be extremely careful, since in Sandero models released after 2014, the pad is attached with belts. They need to be snapped off under the Renault engine.
After dismantling the protection, you need to remove the standard filter by unscrewing 4 fastening nuts. Next, remove the filter housing and disconnect its branch pipe. We take out the last one and turn off the three branch pipes of the standard Stepway choke.Then we unscrew the throttle body and completely pull out the part from under the Renault hood. After that, we install a new damper and screw it to the wall of the Sandero motor. It is only worth connecting new pipes to it, the old ones can be disconnected and discarded.
On the installation of a new damper, the tuning of our crossover ends. To make your Sandero more dynamic, you will need to perform a throttle adaptation. This requires a K-Line adapter and a laptop. First you need to connect the adapter to the OBD connector in the Renault engine ECU. Next, we start the engine and run the utility that comes with the adapter. A program will appear on the laptop display that will help us get the job done. On the 2014 Stepway, the throttle valve is cable operated. Therefore, in order to adapt a new detail, we need to find the 98th channel in the menu and click on it. Next, we wait for the end of the operation and turn off the engine.
VIDEO After the end of the tuning, you can continue to operate the Renault crossover. Now the engine of your car will be only slightly more powerful, but much more stable.
The second stage of tuning the Sandero model, released in 2014, will be the replacement of the vacuum brake booster. But first, let's figure out why we need to perform this operation and what results we get after mounting the increased VUT. The first factor that entails the need to replace a standard 7-inch amplifier is the short service life of the latter. Stepway is a crossover, accordingly, its weight is slightly more than that of a regular passenger Renault.
Modernization of the brake booster Despite this, the French company continues to equip the Megan hatchbacks and Sandero crossovers with the same amplifiers, the difference in weight of which is about a ton. While in passenger cars such parts work properly for more than 7–8 years, in Stepway they begin to fail after two years of active operation. It is to solve this problem that the oversized 10-inch amplifier was created. It can handle heavy loads with ease, and it is practically unaffected by bad weather conditions. The latter is associated with the material from which the amplifiers are made.
So, most of the elements are made of steel alloy. A layer of protective substance is applied to the surface of the element, which prevents the part from rusting. For tuning the crossover in 2014, you can buy a new amplifier costing from 9 thousand rubles. And you can save money by buying an item from Chevrolet Niva cost no more than 5 thousand. When buying, you should pay attention to the condition of the used amplifier - it should not have stains from dried oil or mechanical deformations.
First you need to remove the standard 7-inch Stepway brake booster. After that, you will have to slightly modify the fork that secures the amplifier to the Renault brake pedal. The fact is that in Sandero, released in 2014, the fastening "pins" have a diameter of 8 mm. Therefore, the 10-mm "fingers" of the amplifier from the Niva simply will not fit into the Renault pedal. To solve the problem, you need to drill the pedal and then insert the amplifier into it. Next, you need to modify the wall of the standard heater. It can be cut slightly from below and tilted back. After that, the amplifier will not rest against the wall and deform it.
The last stage of tuning will be to screw in the fasteners of the new amplifier. As a result, Sandero's braking system will work much more reliably, and it will take less time for the car to brake in an emergency.
3 Padding the crossover seats - step by step algorithm Renault Sandero salon In order to overtighten the Renault chairs, you will need to prepare certain tools. If you are the driver of the 2014 Sandero, then pliers are a must. Without them, you will not be able to pull out the trim at the bottom of the car seat. In addition to pliers, you will need:
crosshead screwdriver;
a set of keys;
self-tapping screws;
scissors;
needle and thread.
First you need to completely remove all Sandero seats. When dismantling the rear row of seats, you need to be very careful, since in the 2014 model, wires from the rear wiper blades are laid under them. We take out all the chairs on the street and clean the space vacated under them. Next, you need to remove the standard Renault seat trim. This stage of tuning also requires attention. You only need to cut pieces of material at the seams, otherwise then you will not be able to properly cut a new product for constriction. After you have completely removed the old fabric, you need to move on to cutting a new product.
Pay attention to the properties of the new material. Alcantara and suede tend to stretch, so these items need to be cut into smaller pieces. Imitation leather or natural leather does not stretch, so these materials must be cut so that the pieces of new and old upholstery are the same shape and size. After cutting, we proceed to stitching the pieces into covers. For this, a regular needle and thread are used. The color of the latter should match the shade of the new material. The seam should be located on the inside of the cover so that it cannot be seen.

VIDEO Chair and headrest covers are sewn separately. After making the covers, you need to pull them over the Sandero chairs. In this case, pay attention to the size of the received covers. Ideally, they should fit tight enough on the Stepway chairs. If you move the covers freely, then they are too large. After tuning the interior, we put the seats back into the interior of the 2014 crossover. Do not forget to remove stains from the new material in time and clean the Renault interior at least once a month.
