Left brake light has stopped working. It's not blown and checked it in another socket, works fine.

Bulb type matches the number on the fixture

No corrosion on the connections

Plug for the fixture has no bent pins or corrosion, and brake light fuse is also fine. All other lights work and no errors on the dash.

Anyone have any advice?

Dacia Jogger Essential 2023 1.0TCe 110

I've been driving my new Duster for a few weeks now, and I'm very happy with it indeed. Is it the best car on the road? No... but it does absolutely everything I need from a vehicle without complaint and efficiently.

Just need to somehow see about updating the MediaNav so the DAB radio works... a known issue, apparently.

Bonjour ;

Je suis en recherche d’une voiture et j’ai eu mon coup de cœur sur une Dacia Sandero Stepway Prestige de 2017 0.9 TCE qui a 98000km .

J’aimerais lui mettre un boîtier pour passer l’éthanol ; mais j’ai beaucoup de mes proches ( connaissant ou pas bien le monde de l’automobile / mécanique) qui me disent tout et son contraire .

Qu’elle a été votre expérience ? Quel est votre avis ?

J’essaye de me renseigner aussi de mon côté .

Merci !

Ciao a tutti,

qualcuno di voi ha usufruito della promozione per i pneumatici invernali?

Hello.

Aince Peugeot RXH I'm a big fan of combustion motor in one axle and electric motor on second one. Wanted to ask if Striker solution already exist in some other car? So I can find videos how it is working in snow.

Also if you have any videos with snow please share.

P. S. I assune snow chains are same lazy as toyota awdi - just put on single axle and keep on driving?

I would love a Jogger offroad edition. The esthetics alone would be murder😍😍😍

I'm thinking about buying a 2026 Stepway hybrid.

I haven't taken one for a test drive yet but I sat in one that a neighbour had and I found it pretty difficult to get into. I'm 183cm tall, so I'm a bit taller than average.

I'm used to my current car, which is a Lodgy, so it might just be that I'm not used to getting into a smaller car.

For taller people, how is the Stepway for getting in and out, and for comfort while driving?

Moin everyone,

My 2024 Dacia Jogger Hybrid has started developing loose window beltline trim on multiple doors. On one door it's already lifting noticeably, and the other trims are loose as well.

Has anyone else experienced this? Would you consider it a warranty issue?

Thanks!

What are the dimensions of the boot opening of the 2024 Dacia Duster, particularly its height?

Would you think it's possible to put in the car a 77cm heigh, 70x110cm table?

Thank you very much.

Hi everyone!
I have a Dacia Duster III with the 1.2 TCe mild-hybrid engine, and it has done 33,000 km. I’m a bit concerned about the engine noise when it’s cold.
After the car has been sitting overnight, I can hear a sort of knocking noise immediately after starting the engine. It gradually fades away and disappears completely after around 3 minutes. Once it has disappeared, it doesn’t come back until the car has been sitting for a long period again.
I’ve attached a video of the noise because I haven’t been able to find anyone online experiencing a similar issue.
Hopefully, this is normal, as I’ve never owned a three-cylinder petrol engine before.
Has anyone experienced something similar with their Duster or a similar engine? Does this sound normal to you

Buongiorno ho eseguito la procedura per aggiornare il software della mia Jogger 2023 Extreme Up, mi dice che questo è l'ultima versione aggiornata, risulta anche a voi?

Ho acquistato Dacia Jogger anno 2023 con 52000 km, a parte qualche segno di usura sono molto contento, più che altro dello spazio infinito che ha nel bagagliaio. Oggi farò aggiornamento del firmware e vediamo come sarà il nuovo aspetto del media NAV.

Bonjour à tous,

Voici mon setup :
Dacia Sandero 3 Stepway Expression (2024), Media Display LAN5910WR0D avec 4 HP d'origine au départ (avant/arrière), sans tweeters (et non pré-câblée).

J'ai installé un kit 2 voies séparées Audison APK 165 (2 woofers AP 6.5 à l'avant + 2 tweeters AP 1). J'ai donc tiré de nouveaux câbles pour les tweeters et leurs filtres passifs.

Pour l'intégration, j'utilise deux faisceaux adaptateurs :
Media Display > Faisceau NIS-YISO (qui récupère la prise 20 pins du Media Display avec les 8 fils HP + Masse + 12V) > Faisceau ISO IY-AC IMPULSE (Focal) > Ampli Focal Impulse 4.320.

Pour connecter les filtres des tweeters, j'ai coupé les fils Front Right et Front Left du faisceau IY-AC après amplification (du côté de la plus grosse prise de l'ampli, et PAS la petite prise d'entrée Inputs), puis j'ai branché les filtres tweeters dessus via des connecteurs WAGO 221 3 voies.

À ce stade, l'ampli ne s'allumait pas. Le 12V récupéré sur la prise d'origine du Media Display (via le NIS-YISO) n'était pas un 12V après-contact. J'ai donc utilisé un Fuse Tap connecté sur le fusible de l'allume-cigare et repiqué sur le NIS-YISO pour récupérer un vrai 12V Après-Contact (ACC). Maintenant, l'ampli s'allume et s'éteint correctement.

Le problème :
Avec tous les réglages du Media Display à 0, le son est HORRIBLE (j'écoute des FLAC sur clé USB) : c'est comme si les aigus étaient poussés à +10 dB. C'est ultra sifflant, métallique et inécoutable. Si je règle les aigus du Media Display à -5 (le maximum possible), ça s'améliore un peu, mais le son reste mauvais et très loin du potentiel d'un tel matériel.

Solution temporaire :
Via le logiciel SoX, je retouche tous mes fichiers audio dédiés à la voiture avec ce type de script :
gain -2.0 highpass -2 45 equalizer 450 1.0q +1.0 equalizer 1100 1.2q +1.0 equalizer 3500 1.5q -3.0 equalizer 5800 2.2q -8.5 treble -13.0 6000

C'est donc une diminution EXTRÊME sur la plage des hautes fréquences. Avec les réglages du Media Display remis à 0, j'obtiens un son à peu près satisfaisant (probablement 80 % du potentiel de l'installation). Mais ce n'est pas normal d'avoir à faire ça pour obtenir un son simplement écoutable...

L'emplacement d'origine des tweeters dans la Sandero 3 étant acoustiquement très mauvais (très proche du pare-brise et orienté directement vers le ciel), j'ai fait imprimer en 3D des supports spécifiques pour ce véhicule afin d'obtenir une bien meilleure orientation vers les occupants. Cela améliore la scène, mais ne résout pas le problème de fond qui explique cette surpuissance des aigus.

J'ai d'abord soupçonné le Media Display d'imposer un égaliseur d'usine invisible qui surbooste les aigus. Pour vérifier, j'ai utilisé un convertisseur High/Low RCA connecté au niveau des fils HP Front du IY-AC, relié à un PC + DAC en RCA. J'ai pris une mesure du signal envoyé par le Media Display avec le logiciel REW + bruit rose (Pink Noise).

Résultat : une courbe quasi plate et identique peu importe le volume !

Maintenant, je suis à court d'idées.
Tous les réglages et branchements me semblent corrects :

Ampli configuré sur High Level

Gain de l'ampli au minimum

Phases correctes

Signal du Media Display vérifié neutre

Atténuation des filtres tweeters sur 0 dB (choix possible : 0 dB ou +2 dB)

Et pourtant, je suis toujours obligé de modifier mes fichiers audio à coup de -13 dB dans les aigus... Un DSP ferait le travail plus facilement, mais ce n'est pas normal d'en avoir absolument besoin juste pour rendre le système écoutable.

Je serais très heureux si quelqu'un pouvait m'apporter un éclairage sur cette situation. J'y ai passé d'innombrables heures, et je ne comprends toujours pas pourquoi ce kit s'exprime de manière aussi agressive dans cet habitacle. Merci pour votre aide !

Hey everyone!

​I've been working on reverse engineering the CAN bus / OBD telemetry on my Duster 2 (1.5 Blue dCi 115, ~24,380 km) and developing a custom app to display real-time engine data and stats.

I'm expanding the app to track maintenance schedules, live parameters, and overall telemetry stats directly from the car.

​What parameters or live features would you find most useful to see in a Duster telemetry app? If you have any feedback or questions about the data framing / CAN frames on Duster 2, let's discuss in the comments!

This might seem like kind of an odd question, but I used to drive a 2023 Hyundai i20 with an automatic transmission when I was learning how to drive, and I did find convenient being able to see what gear you were on. By this, I don't simply mean being able to see whether you're on R, D, N or P, but, when on D, to be able to see whether you're on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on.

I actually thought this was a common feature between all automatic cars but, no, I haven't found this info in any of the car's manu layouts, so I wanted to check on this with you, guys, in case I'm missing something.

In case it matters, I am driving the 2026 Dacia Sandero (Journey), with Dual Clutch Transmission.

Hey everyone! I’m currently seriously looking into buying a the 155 hybrid Duster. But I’m afraid of reliability, especially of the automatic transmission and just overall build quality. Any experiences? Good or bad. I’m really open to every opinion, I feel lost. Thanks in advance!

My boss wants to buy me a new Dacia Sandero Expression Eco-G 120 (petrol/LPG) to use for my maintenance technician job, covering locations across Hungary.
I would be driving around 5,000–5,500 km per month, split roughly equally between motorways and poorly maintained country roads.
I suffer from lower back pain when driving cars with uncomfortable driver’s seats, so comfort is a very important factor for me.
Do you think this car would be suitable for my needs? Does anyone own a Sandero with this trim level?
How comfortable is the driver’s seat? Does it have lumbar support? Is there an armrest for the driver?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences, especially from anyone who drives long distances regularly. Thanks!

Moin zusammen,

ich habe mir vor circa 4 Wochen einen neuen Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155 gekauft. Eigentlich ein tolles Auto, aber ich muss leider feststellen, dass ein lautes Pfeifgeräusch ertönt, sobald ich die Lüftung komplett ausschalte ab circa 130km/h.

Ich war deswegen natürlich direkt in der Vertragswerkstatt meines Händlers. Nach zwei Probefahrten von den Mechaniker mit jeweils 15 Kilometern wurde mir dort mitgeteilt, dass dieses Problem „bauartbedingt“ sei. Man könne dagegen schlichtweg nichts machen. Als „Lösung“ wurde mir ernsthaft geraten, die Lüftung einfach immer eingeschaltet zu lassen und den Luftstrom auf die Scheibe oder in den Fußraum zu stellen – dann würde es ja nicht mehr so stören. Für mich ist das allerdings eine reine Problemumgehung und absolut keine Problemlösung für einen Neuwagen!

Nach einer halben Stunde ergebnisloser Diskussion mit dem Mechatroniker bin ich vom Hof gefahren und habe Dacia Deutschland eingeschaltet. Der Kundenservice hat daraufhin noch einmal Rücksprache mit dem Autohaus gehalten. Das Ergebnis war leider dasselbe: Auch Dacia Deutschland wiegelt ab und beruft sich stur auf die Aussage des Händlers, dass es eben „bauartbedingt“ sei. Den Anruf hätte ich mir im Endeffekt sparen können.

Laut der Werkstatt soll dieses Pfeifen angeblich auch beim neuen Duster und anderen Modellen auftreten mit dem gleichen Motor.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Hat jemand von den Bigster- oder Duster-Fahrern hier dasselbe Problem oder schaltet die Lüftung mal testweise ganz aus?

Hi everyone,

I bought a new Dacia Bigster Hybrid 155 about four weeks ago. It’s actually a great car, but I’ve unfortunately noticed that a loud whistling noise occurs as soon as I switch the ventilation off completely at speeds of around 130 km/h or more.

Naturally, I went straight to my dealer’s authorised service centre. After two test drives by the mechanics, each covering 15 kilometres, I was told that this problem was ‘inherent to the design’. There was simply nothing that could be done about it. As a ‘solution’, I was seriously advised to just leave the ventilation on at all times and direct the airflow towards the windscreen or into the footwell – then it wouldn’t be such a nuisance. To me, however, this is merely a workaround and absolutely not a solution to a problem in a brand-new car!

After half an hour of fruitless discussion with the mechanic, I drove off the forecourt and contacted Dacia Germany. Customer services then consulted the dealership once more. Unfortunately, the result was the same: Dacia Germany also brushed it off and stubbornly referred to the dealer’s statement that it was simply ‘due to the design’. In the end, I could have saved myself the trouble of making the call.

According to the garage, this whistling noise is apparently also present in the new Duster and other models with the same engine.

What do you think? Do any of the Bigster or Duster drivers here have the same problem, or do you ever switch the ventilation on just to test it?

Hi everyone,

I own a 2023 Dacia Sandero Stepway ECO-G 100 with a manual gearbox, and I’m experiencing problems with the LPG system.

The car displays the warning “Check LPG system.” I replaced the fuse for the LPG module, but this did not permanently resolve the issue. Interestingly, after the car has been parked for a longer period, it sometimes starts running on LPG normally again.

The garage has indicated that the possible solution involves a software update for the LPG system and replacing a pressure sensor.

While researching this issue, I came across information about a possible technical campaign under code 0DQW, reportedly involving the replacement of the LPG pressure sensor on certain Dacia models. However, I have not yet received official confirmation from Dacia that this campaign applies to my car.

I’d like to ask other owners:
Has anyone with a 2023 Sandero III ECO-G 100 experienced the same LPG system fault?
Was the pressure sensor actually the cause of the problem?

Did a software update resolve the issue, or did the sensor also need to be replaced?

Is anyone familiar with technical campaign 0DQW and able to confirm whether Dacia officially carried it out?

Has anyone managed to obtain goodwill assistance or partial reimbursement from Dacia for this repair after the factory warranty expired?

I’d particularly appreciate feedback from owners with the same model year and engine. Any information about the cause, repair, or possible goodwill coverage would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I noticed today I'm missing this part on the interior of my left rear door, I'm trying to source a replacement and I'm struggling to locate one.

I'm hoping someone can tell me the part name, if nothing else, to help narrow down my search.

Edit: The car is a 2014 Dacia Duster 4x4 Diesel

Thanks

Hello! My girlfriend has a first-generation Dacia Sandero 1.4 LPG. Does anyone know where the fuel filter is located? I can't find.

Bonjour Suis le seul à avoir remarqué qu’en car play, pas moyen que Waze affiche les radars comme sur téléphone ?

Vous avez réussi à contourner ce problème ? Je précise que j’ai un duster 2026 Merci
