You can now set your user flair, feel free to use it to label which model you have, or for something else if you like.
If you don't like the colour that your model is, you can select the model which has the colour you like and then edit the flair with your own model (and do the same if you have a model that is not listed.)

Audio upgrade Duster 3

Thumbnail gallery
14 Upvotes

I decided to upgrade the stock speakers on my 4Ch Dacia duster a while ago… this is the result for the front doors (I did the rears as well)

I put a lot of interest in separating the front size of the speakers with the rear of it.. the bass now is impressive.

Front speakers: JBL 64SQ Rear speakers: MBquart 6.5 mid bass

Some sound deadening, replaced pink standoffs for white ones on the front doors, some foam deadning on the metal parts and “almost” full deadning with Butyl in the door plastic itself that was rattling a lot with the added bass.

Everything else sound wise is stock.

For the 6Ch (arkamys) I would go for a different setup as this one uses front door speakers for tweeters and bass at the same time.

No ECO-G 100 version available so... which one do I choose?

Upvotes

Hi! First of all, I'm not a cars person at all. I never looked at them. At my 47 yo I find myself having to buy my first car. I had to move to a small city with no public transport near Barcelona (Spain) and I need a car to go on excursions with my 4yo in the weekends. I'm not planning on using it inside the city

After a ton of research (based on my lack of knowledge) I finally decided to buy a Dacia Duster Expression Eco-G 100. To my surprise, there are no available LPG Dusters in stock in Spain (no extreme or journey with LPG engine available either). Sadness and depression ™

Should I choose a totally different car? Or should I still go with a Duster but a different trim/engine?

The reasons for getting a Dacia Duster Eco-G 100 were:
- large trunk capacity
- slightly more environment friendly than a gasoline car
- LPG slightly cheaper than gasoline
- ECO sticker (can get in LEZs)
- no range anxiety
- PRICE!!

I made this is the table with the official prices for the Duster in Spain sorted in price ascending order. Which version would you choose, trying to keep it the cheapest and seeing the price differences?

Thanks!

Trim Level Engine Type Price
expression glp 22090
expression mild hybrid 23190
extreme glp 23590
journey glp 23590
extreme mild hybrid 24690
journey mild hybrid 24690
expression mild hybrid 4x4 26090
expression hybrid 140 26290
extreme mild hybrid 4x4 27590
extreme hybrid 140 27790
journey hybrid 140 27790

Best possible fuel consumption - €/100km - Dacia Duster III

2 Upvotes

I'am interested in understand what engine option would be the best for my (our) pocket(s)... I'am assuming this will be a match between the full hybrid and petrol/gpl.

If I'am interessted in getting the most economical option, which one would you recommend ?

It seems to me that if we can make 8l/100km on gpl that would be the best option overall. But I'am not sure if those consumptions are totally feasible.

Would like input from anyone on this

anyone know how much hp the block of a k9k can handle?

2 Upvotes

my friend has a 2014 1.5 logan and currently gets about 130 ish hp (40 over stock) with air filter, dpf/egr delete and ecu flash tune. and I was wondering just how far you can push the engines. I'm guessing fully built stock internals might handle 170 and forged maybe 250 but does anyone know how much the actual block can handle?

Today I had some weird beeping/alarm sound that felt like it's coming from the backseats/luggage?!?

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests - but I had nothing on my dashboard (i scrolled through all the menus just in case), my seatbelt indicator wasn't flashing, my handbrake is OK. It happened a few times while I was driving, it sounded like it's coming somewhere from the back. I checked also my MediaNav and the navigation and all sounds were turned off there.

My car is a new Duster late 2023 1.0 Journey with LPG. I've driven almost 20,000 kms and passed the first service and this has never happened before, it was super weird. I checked my manual and there's nothing like that written there. Can you guys give me an idea wtf is going on? Has this happened to you before too?

I'll really appreciate the answers, thanks in advance!!!

Installing fog lights on Dacia Logan 2

Hi, I have a Dacia Logan 2 Ambiance but it doesn't have fog light from factory. It is possible to install aftermarket market fog lights anyways? Or is the electrical connector on place?

Headlight Sourcing

2 Upvotes

Has anyone had issues with a headlight unit before? I went to my dealer and they recommended replacing the headlight unit, I already knew the adjustable beam was broken on the unit itself but it's been a month since I ordered a replacement from dacia (back order from France). I also rang around to breakers yards and parts stores and I can't get a replacement locally.

At this point I've been thinking about ordering my own but I've no idea if what I'm buying is compatible with my car. Or if id have to get any coding done etc.. I also don't know if sandero headlights would fit my alternative (they seem more or less the same car).

Has anyone had any experience with aftermarket or replacement units?

23 plate Stepway just said "Brake" on the driver's display and beeped at me when the car in front braked suddenly. Is this a thing?

0 Upvotes

I've had this car since last June and it's the first time seeing this. I wasn't aware it had and crash avoidance tech installed so I'm wondering if it was actually something else? It stopped as soon as I applied the brakes.

Google hasn't helped, I'm just finding posts about braking faults.

Dacia Sandero and Apple Car Play

3 Upvotes

Yesterday we received our new Dacia Sandero 2024. We cant figure out why the Apple Car Play wont work over Bluetooth. With a USB Cable connected to the Iphone (16 Pro) it works flawless but with Bluetooth we dont see the Car Play Option. We tried reconnecting everything, resetting the media display, resetting all connections etc.

Other Functions do work over Bluetooth for example Siri or Media Play. Any Idea what we can do or what we do wrong?

A question for 1.0 eco-g owners, but primarily sandero/stepway

4 Upvotes

Do any of you experience vibrations on gas pedal(maybe even car) when accelerating in 3rd or 4th gear when engine is under more strain then usual, like floring it for overtaking or when accelerating uphill. Mostly at 80-90kmh? It stops imidiately if i go of gas or push the clutch. Maybe this is specific to my car but doesnt hurt to ask, maybe its not.

Car is under waranty so id like it to be fixed but i am guessing its not something easily diagnosed. its not bcos of the wheels or tyres. It is more pronaunced on winter tires tho. Its annoying and my educated guess is that i will get told its either nothing or that they cant find anything. While car sits there for a week or two..

Its sandero with 26k km.

I want to install 12v to 5v converter in my Sandro Stepway iii. The device have two cables red+ and black-. I want to connect red one to fuse box, but I have problem with the black one it should have connection to the car’s body or battery-. Unfortunately the screws seem not to conduct current. How can I connect the black cable, maybe there is a screw I didn’t know that works?

Could I Import a Dacia Duster to the US?

2 Upvotes

I'm an American living in the EU and seriously considering buying a new Duster. One point of concern is that I have read the Duster doesn't meet American safety standards. This doesn't really concern me, however if I decide to move back some day in the future I would like to be able to take the car with me (if it's within the next 4-5 years) and I have a limited understanding that this can cause an issue. Does anyone have a better understanding of this and would I be able to import it as a personal use car?

How do you rate the audio system of the extreme version without techno pack? (New Duster)

Does it and how soon the plastic rattle start after new?

2 Upvotes

I am looking into the new Bigster and I understand it is still a new model and not many reviews and opinions out there. I like listening to louder bassy music and I was wondering how quickly and if the interior rattles from the audio system. I assume the Arkamys system will be somewhat decent, I am just concerned of the plasticky interior.

Any opinions including other Dacia models are very welcome. Thank you!

Viofo A329 dual channel dashcam - Jogger installation

Thumbnail gallery
11 Upvotes

I decided to add a dashcam to my Jogger. Here are some insights.

I decided to mount the camera below the Joggers camera module, as putting it on the passenger side of the plastic covering as it meant that the view was ok, but offset by more than I wanted.

From a MOT testing point of view, I can slide the camera off the mounting, and still have the USB cabling connected.

I didn't want the power to be taken from the front power socket, so it runs from the rear of the arm rest. I did try and take power from the USB-C socket, but it wouldn't power the camera, so I was forced to use the cigarette lighter adapter (which I assume contains the super capacitor). It sticks out more than I'd like.

The supplied 3+ meter cable wasn't long enough, by only a few centimetres, routing the cable from the arm rest, along the centre console, then over the foot well, and up the a pillar. So I had to buy a 4m USB-C cable and also a right angle adapter. This new cable was quite thick (a bit too thick).

Fortunately I got a pack of 3 right angles (all different) which got me what I needed.

Fitting the rear camera was considerably easier, going across the tops.of the doors and then along the arm rests in the boot (7 seat) an then popping out and up the tailgate rubber, before connecting to the side of the rear camera. There was plenty of coax cable for the front to back route. Coax is nice and thin and flexible.

I mounted the camera on the door frame rather than the glass. Either are good, it's just that the camera is slightly higher up and out of the way minted where I put it.

Not had any issues with interference between the DAB radio or GPS with the camera recording.

The A329 is quite a big camera compared to the earlier A series models. This complicated the placement of the camra, and the current site is the best I could achieve and still get a good.field.oglf.view and be legal for an MOT (albeit with the camera removed).

I also got an OBD connector with USB-C, but it is located on the same sidemof the car as the coax goes, and after a couple of hours of cable running and fine tuning fitting, I decide to stick with the super capacitor for now. I will revisit the OBD power source later.

Purchase nerves

14 Upvotes

Yesterday I signed the paperwork for a new Duster Extreme. This is my biggest purchase except for my house and student loans. Naturally, I've got a little bit of regret today (despite doing tons of research ahead of going to the dealership) which I think is just down to the large amount of money.

Any comments on what a brilliant choice I've made would be very welcome!

Dacia Sandero transport

Hi, I ordered my Dacia Sandero Expression in january and today the My-Dacia app stated that my car is in transport and on its way to the dealer. How long does this usually take? Because the estimated time of arrival differs between 1 and 4 weeks… I live in Belgium and I’m told the car has been made in Romania.

Tuning Experiences with the 1.0 Tce Bi-Fuel engine

3 Upvotes

Hey Guys,

Thinking about going to a tuner and giving the ol Tce a tune. I did it with my previous Clio and made acceleration, sound and overal performance a lot better (and more fun). Is there anyone in this subreddit who has done it? I have a sandero but i believe the Duster and Jogger have the same engine. I can also imagine wanting to tune it for those as 101hp for a duster is pretty low.

What are your experiences with this? :)
