Renault recently delighted car enthusiasts with the release of the next generation of the budget car Duster. The presence of some experience in determining the advantages and disadvantages of the machine made it possible to identify all problematic issues and possible breakdowns that may arise during operation, as well as to determine the way to eliminate them. This is what the article is about. We will tell you how to do it yourself auto repair.
Refueling with low-quality fuel often leads to problems in the power unit at Renault Duster, which are usually resolved by cleaning or replacing the fuel filter, as well as changing gasoline or diesel fuel. Therefore, you should not worry too much about this.
Illumination of the Check Engine indicator, first of all, indicates the use of low quality fuel. If, after replacing the fuel, the light continues to burn, then it is necessary to deal with the fuel system filter. At the same time, it does not matter what type of internal combustion engine is installed on the crossover - 2-liter gasoline or diesel.
This problem is primarily undesirable for diesel engines, since an increase in the density of diesel fuel leads to failure of the high-pressure fuel pump, the price of which is significant. At the same time, the video clip speaks of the difficulty of replacing the high pressure fuel pump.
If the light remains on after changing the fuel and filter, then the error in the on-board system should be cleared using a connected laptop to the corresponding input for diagnostics. You can fix this problem yourself. To do this, you need to purchase a special adapter in a car shop, and carry out repairs.
There are times when it is necessary to make repairs in the Renault Duster salon. Moisture builds up under the driver's mat after rain or winter, or with regular use of the climate control without regular maintenance. Moreover, this problem is equally inherent in both gasoline internal combustion engines and diesel ones.
This unpleasant moment practically does not arise for Renault Duster, release after 2013. The problem cannot be eliminated on its own: it is necessary to dismantle and disassemble the split system and seal the branch pipe.
The price of this service is low for Renault Duster. Car service specialists will make repairs in a matter of hours.
The presence of an on-board computer and electronics in Renault Duster gives rise to the problem of possible failures that occur in the electrics when all-wheel drive is turned on. Maybe the manual mode of the rear axle is turned off on its own. This happens when driving in first and second gears, regardless of the type of power unit.
The inadequacy of this behavior is determined by failures in the electronic control unit, which can be easily eliminated without a detailed inspection of the mechanical components. You can repair this breakdown with your own hands. You need to flash it yourself using the programmer, and the problem will disappear. The kit includes a video instruction on how to use this equipment.
If a similar problem continues to appear, you should study the operation of an electric oil pump, the controllers of which also give an error, which does not allow the rear wheels to be turned on in some modes of the power plant robots. With regular maintenance and oil change in the clutch gearbox and not using the machine in harsh conditions, the sensor will function normally. Service videos can be taken from the Internet without any problems.
One of the disadvantages of Renault Duster is that there are no sensors installed on the car that monitor the gearbox malfunction and "hand-outs". Malfunctions in these car systems can only be detected by looking under the car. Particular attention should be paid to the tightness of the transfer case.
If oily stains appear through the oil seals, then you should think about replacing them. Operating experience indicates that most often the problem occurs on cars with a 2-liter gasoline engine. For an all-wheel drive diesel engine, this malfunction is less typical.
This is due to the improper operation of Renault Duster. If the first signs of a problem are detected, new oil seals should be installed and new gear oil filled. As such, no major repairs are required. Everything can be changed with your own hands.
The most common fault in the Renault Duster suspension is. This is affected by the peculiarities of domestic roads, significant temperature drops and various humidity, which are not the best way to affect the operation of the suspension.
Suspension components that fail in the first place: shock absorber struts, torsion bars, silent blocks of levers on the front and rear axles, as well as bearings of swivel rods and hubs. Having studied the video material on this topic, you can do it yourself to replace these parts using the necessary tool.
Suspension repair should never be postponed, as belated replacement of parts will lead to the failure of other parts, which will increase the cost of repair work.
When summing up the reliability of the Renault Duster crossover, you should pay attention to such a moment. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of suspension elements and other mechanical parts, as well as correct operation, will allow the car to serve for a significant period of time. Then frequent expensive repairs will not be required.
Not so long ago, the second generation of the inexpensive urban crossover Renault Duster was released. The rich experience of operating this car made it possible not only to identify all the advantages and disadvantages of this model, but also to identify weaknesses, the most frequent problems of Renault Duster, malfunctions and ways to solve them. It is about them that we will talk today.
Do not be afraid of problems in Renault Duster that arise in the engine associated with the use of low-quality fuel and are often solved by replacing the fuel filter and refueling as soon as possible with high-quality gasoline.
If the Check Engine warning light comes on, you should start looking for the source of the malfunction in the low-quality fuel in the engine. If refueling has already been made, and the light comes on and does not go out, you should pay attention to the filter. This applies equally to both 2.0-liter gasoline engines and diesel engines.
The problem that has arisen is especially dangerous when the indicator lights up on a diesel engine, because the thickened "diesel fuel" can destroy a high-pressure fuel pump, replacing it with a Renault Duster costs a lot of money, and the video shows that this procedure is extremely difficult.
If all the recommended actions to change the filter and fuel have already been performed, and the indicator lights up and still does not go out, you should connect the laptop to the car's diagnostic connector and erase the error. You can fix it yourself by purchasing a special adapter, which is sold in any specialized car dealership.
Often, repairs in Renault Duster are made from the side of the salon. Regardless of whether the gasoline engine is installed on the car, or the power unit is diesel, often in winter or in the rain, as well as during constant operation of the air conditioner without timely maintenance, condensation accumulates under the driver's mat.
This problem has been resolved for all Renault Duster built after 2013, however not everyone is so lucky. You cannot solve this problem with your own hands: you will have to disassemble the air conditioning system and replace the rubber gasket of the pipe.
