How to save on Renault Duster maintenance. How to save on Renault Duster maintenance Renault Duster maintenance cost

Since this unpretentious, but extremely hardy crossover is available in two versions - with a gasoline engine and a diesel engine - Renault Duster also undergoes maintenance through two different periods for each internal combustion engine. In the Garage Technical Center, specialists, in case of misunderstanding, will definitely advise when to undergo maintenance, what consumables will be required, and calculate the cost.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Carrying out work, according to the manufacturer's regulations, is carried out every 15 thousand kilometers for Renault Duster with a gasoline engine. Cars with a diesel-type engine undergo a maintenance procedure more often: after every 10 thousand km traveled.

Even if the operation of the car is not active and runs less than the indicated mileage per year, owners of Duster modifications, classics and restyled models will still have to visit the car service station annually.

Types of jobs

Maintenance has a different cost and directly depends on the sequence number of the procedure and the number of tasks performed in the process. Of course, a lot also depends on the condition of the car. Our specialists are convinced that with preventive maintenance there are always many benefits - both financial and applied.

• Do not bring the condition of the Renault Duster nodes to critical breakdowns timely diagnose faults. This will greatly simplify the operation of the car itself, and will affect the price of routine maintenance.

The price also depends on the serial number of the procedure. The first maintenance, for example, from the eighth, will differ both in terms of the formation of the total cost, and in the list of works that are carried out according to the established regulations. Timing belt replacement or fuel filter it is not necessary to do TO-4 (60 thousand km) earlier, but you will need to fill in new oil at each service.

Replacing consumables is a separate issue for car owners. Alas, such actions are not included in the list of warranty work, so they will have to be carried out in any case at their own expense.

Maintenance cost for Renault Duster

On our website, for the convenience of calculating the cost of service, you can use the calculator program. Choose step by step the modification of your car and the number of the upcoming MOT.

After the first calculation, a significant, up to 50% difference between Renault Duster service prices will become noticeable. official dealer and in the Garage Technical Center.

Yes. But the car is under warranty and this means that all work must be carried out only at the dealer.

Not at all. There are at least three articles of the FZoPP that refute the ultimatum and untenable requirements of the OA to perform any repair, preventive and routine procedures only for them. Replacing, for example, the oil at a specialized service station, and not at a dealer, the owner of a Renault Duster car will not lose the warranty.

The high marks of the owners of Duster brand cars to the employees of the Garage service center are well deserved. The presence of a complex of modern high-quality diagnostic equipment also plays a decisive role.

The experience of the masters and a powerful technical base allow us to carry out preventive, repair, maintenance and any other additional work with the most worthy result, and for each client to receive the expected, high level of quality.

All cars, regardless of body type and brand, need regular technical inspection. The manufacturer has developed maintenance for Renault Duster, which sets the frequency of servicing the crossover and the types of operations. Moreover, this schedule takes into account the peculiarities of the operation of the car in Russian conditions. In order to avoid unforeseen problems with Renault Duster, the list of maintenance works established by the manufacturer must be followed exactly.

Why is it so important

A vehicle is made up of components that, during operation, vehicle gradually wear out. A number of parts (body, chassis etc.) are made of durable materials. In this regard, the components do not require regular replacement. However, in the design of Renault Duster there are quickly wearing parts:

• fuel system filters;
• various gaskets;
• brake system components and others.

It is recommended to check the brake fluid level regularly and engine oil. If you do not follow the order of the Duster maintenance regulations, then over time the property of the latter will change. Brake fluid absorbs moisture as the vehicle is used. As a result, a chain reaction is launched, during which:

• the brake fluid is heated;
• due to the evaporation of moisture, bubbles appear in the brake fluid;
• the pressure that the fluid creates changes.

The result of the described chain reaction is the failure of the brake system. Therefore, it is important to follow the Renault Duster maintenance schedule.

The Duster TO regulation is developed by the vehicle manufacturer, taking into account the characteristics of the materials and operating conditions of the crossover. For example, the service life of engine oil is 10 thousand kilometers. If the driver continues to use the old fluid, then in the future, due to friction between the elements, the engine will fail.

Maintenance regulations may change. The rules set by the manufacturer are advisory in nature. If the car adheres to an aggressive driving style, then some of the components of the brake system will have to be changed more often.

It is also important to consider that the Renault Duster diesel engine requires replacement after 10 thousand km. oil filter and other consumables. In relation to a crossover with a gasoline engine, this procedure is carried out less often (every 15 thousand kilometers).

List of mandatory work after 15 thousand km - TO1

As part of the first Renault Duster maintenance, it is necessary to change the engine oil. Suitable for french model lubricants conforming to the following standards:

• ACEA A2 or A3, SAE viscosity level (0W30/40, 5W30/40/50, 15W40/50, 5W40, 10W40);
• API (SL, SM, SJ).

For a diesel engine, RN0720 5W30 engine oil will go. If the crossover is not equipped with a particulate filter, then you can use 5W40 grease.

As part of Duster TO 1, it is necessary to replace the oil filter. In models with a 1.6-liter engine, the original component is installed with the article number 7700274177. In versions with a 2-liter engine - 8200768913.

During the first maintenance, Renault Duster replaces the air and cabin filter s. The type of the first component is selected taking into account the type of motor. In addition, various cabin filters are installed on Renault Duster with a climate system and air conditioning.

Car maintenance involves not only the replacement of consumables. The list of works for TO 1 involves checking many components and nodal connections. These procedures are recommended for subsequent technical inspections.

As part of maintenance, it is necessary to check the condition of the control unit that regulates the operation of the motor and the diagnostic computer. During the inspection, the tightness of the elements is assessed:

• cooling systems;
• exhaust gas systems;
• hoses;
• power systems;
• pipelines.

Additionally, as part of maintenance on Renault Duster, the condition is assessed:

• clutch drive;
• covers providing protection for wheel drive hinges;
• tires (including pressure);
• elements of anti-roll bars;
• silent blocks of suspension arms;
• all shock absorbers;
• ball bearings;
• steering wheel covers and rods;
• hydraulic brakes (including tubes and hoses);
• pads and brakes.

Performing a technical inspection of Renault Duster, the master checks the brake fluid level and voltage in battery. The latter is performed using a special tester. The fluid level in the power steering reservoir is assessed.

To ensure that the car complies with the rules technical operation established by the state, during maintenance, the master checks Renault Duster the condition of the windshield, rear-view mirror, indicator lamps on dashboard, outdoor and indoor lighting lamps. The brake pads mounted on the rear wheels are also cleaned of dust.

Necessary measures include checking the anti-corrosion coating and lubrication of the hood.

Mandatory work within the framework of the second MOT

At the second maintenance, the list of works after 30,000 km includes similar activities as described above. Renault Duster needs to change the engine oil (and filter) and install new air and cabin filters.

In addition, after 30 thousand kilometers, the performance of spark plugs decreases. Therefore, as part of the second MOT, new elements are installed on the Renault Duster. Moreover, 1.6- and 2-liter gasoline engines require the same spark plugs.

At the second service, the oil level in the automatic transmission. Add material if necessary. AT all-wheel drive models the master checks the level of lubrication in the transfer case and gearbox rear axle.

As part of TO 2 Renault Duster, the condition is assessed fuel injectors throttle assembly. It is also recommended to clean the elements of the air conditioning system from contamination.

Main activities during TO3 (45,000 km of run)

The list of works during TO 3 does not differ from the list of activities carried out as part of the previous technical inspection. New oil is poured into the Renault Duster engine and filters are replaced.

List of works after 60 thousand km - TO4

As part of TO 4, the same activities are carried out as during past technical inspections. Also, new spark plugs are installed on the Renault Duster.

After 60 thousand km, the car requires replacement of the drive belt. Usually at this stage a new tensioner is installed. If the car adheres to an aggressive driving style, or the crossover was operated in difficult conditions, the belt is changed earlier.

Similar requirements apply to timing. After 60 thousand kilometers, Renault Duster. For 1.6- and 2-liter gasoline and 1.5-liter diesel engines various timing elements are installed.

List of works during maintenance 5 (mileage 75 and 105 thousand km)

The list of works for TO 5 does not differ from the previous lists. However, after 75 and 105 thousand km, it is recommended to carry out a full maintenance of Renault Duster. It is necessary not only to change the oil and filters, but also to check the condition of the timing belts and drive. In addition, you should evaluate the elements of the brake system and other components that affect the performance of the car.

List of works after 95 thousand km

The maintenance schedule after 95 thousand kilometers does not differ from the list of works carried out as part of TO 1. At this stage, it is also necessary. The manufacturer declares the need to use a TJ that complies with the DOT4 standard (Elf Freelub 650 is suitable for Renault Duster).

Simultaneously with the brake fluid change in the hydraulic clutch and brakes. Procedures cannot be carried out on different days.

After 95 thousand km, it is recommended to fill in a new coolant. For Duster, Renault (Glaceol RX) or Nissan refrigerants are suitable. The coolant should be checked and replaced every 4 years of operation, regardless of the number of kilometers driven.

List of works after 120 thousand km

The regulations established by the manufacturer on the Renault Duster provide for the next maintenance after 120 thousand km. This maintenance involves filling the engine compartment with oil and installing new filters. The spark plugs will also need to be replaced. toothed belt and accessory drive belt. If necessary, new oil is poured into the gearbox in models with an "automatic".

Replacing worn parts before maintenance

When servicing the Duster, you need to remember that some parts wear out earlier than the specified dates. The manufacturer has set a certain frequency of replacement of vehicle components depending on the operating conditions:

• More than half of the time Renault Duster moves at low speeds or idles.
• More than half the time average speed was 30 km/h. Such a rhythm of movement is typical for operation in urban conditions.
• More than 30% of the time Renault Duster moved with a trailer, the mass of which exceeded 500 kg.
• Renault Duster is constantly operated in dusty conditions (for example, on construction sites).
• A car travels more than 5 thousand km a year at an ambient temperature below -15 degrees.
• The Duster owner uses fuel that does not meet the manufacturer's requirements.
• Long-term operation of Renault Duster in all-wheel drive performance in conditions of high humidity, driving on a dirty road.

In the presence of one or more of the above circumstances, it is required to change consumables more often than it is stipulated by the regulations.

Renault has not determined the frequency of filling new oil in the gearbox for models equipped with mechanical box gears. In this case, the fluid level must be checked every 15 thousand km. An oil change may be required when the Renault Duster gearbox is being repaired. It is also recommended to check for fluid leaks from the gearbox at regular intervals. .

According to the instructions for the crossover, after the expiration of the service life, the fluid in the transfer case changes. This will require a hypoid transmission oil with a volume of 0.9 liters, which meets the API standard (GL5 SAE 75W90 Shell brand is suitable).

In addition to these materials, it is also necessary to regularly check the level and condition of the fluid in the rear axle gearbox. In this case, the same hypoid oil is used as when pouring into the transfer case.

The last item on the list of replacement materials is the power steering fluid. Renault Duster power steering is filled with ELF "RenaultMatic D3 SYN" oil with a volume of 1.1 liters.

Renault Duster maintenance cost

The final amount of maintenance costs for Renault Duster is determined depending on the order of maintenance and the type of components and materials to be replaced. The most expensive maintenance is considered after 60 thousand kilometers. In this case, it is necessary to replace not only oils and filters, but also the timing, drive belts and a number of other components. Similar costs will require TO 8.

During the sixth maintenance procedure, it is necessary to carry out the activities provided for in the first two stages, as well as replace the coolant, clutch and brake fluid. These costs are comparable to those for maintenance 4.

If we consider only original products as replaceable materials and components, then the first Renault Duster maintenance procedure will cost the owner about 3.56 thousand rubles. This amount includes engine oil (600 rubles per 1 liter), oil (250 rubles), air (480 and 570 rubles for a diesel) and cabin (660 and 700 rubles for a car with air conditioning) filters.

The cost of the second MOT increases due to the need to replace spark plugs (160 rubles per unit). The cost of maintenance after 30 thousand kilometers will be approximately 4.2 thousand rubles.

The third MOT will cost the same amount as the first. The cost of the fourth maintenance procedure for Renault Duster reaches 9.36 thousand rubles. Such a high price is due to the fact that the car owner will have to pay 3.56 thousand rubles for inspecting the car and replacing consumables (oil, filters). This amount includes the cost of the drive belt (670 and 2.7 thousand rubles for the tensioner), timing (about 4.6 thousand rubles, but the price varies depending on the type of engine) and automatic transmission oil (530 rubles).

At the sixth maintenance procedure, the costs increase for the replacement of the brake fluid (800 rubles). Otherwise, the cost of maintenance corresponds to the costs of the first two.

In addition to the indicated costs associated with mandatory (according to the regulations) procedures, it is necessary to regularly replace other materials: oil manual transmission(1.9 thousand rubles), power steering fluid (540 rubles) and lubricant transfer box and rear axle gearbox (800 rubles).

Conclusion

If you regularly perform maintenance, Renault Duster will work without failures for several tens of thousands of kilometers. In cases where the crossover warranty has not expired, maintenance is recommended to be carried out at specialized stations.

It is also important to monitor the condition of your own car, paying attention to leaks and checking the fluid level in engine compartment and brake system. Renault Duster maintenance is an ongoing process that requires the owner to comply with certain rules.

Do not forget that the frequency of replacement of consumables directly depends on the operating conditions. If the machine is used in a humid climate or often travels on a bumpy road, new engine oil is poured twice as often as required by the regulations. When operating in such conditions, the timing and drive belts wear out faster. Therefore, it is recommended to replace these elements in advance (before reaching 60 thousand kilometers).

To keep your vehicle in good condition, you need to maintenance work at the end of the warranty period at service stations. It is impossible to assess the condition of some components and assemblies without specialized equipment.

The mileage of our all-wheel drive Renault Duster 1.6, which is at long test, is close to the first scheduled maintenance. Pah-pah, so far no technical problems have been identified with the car: the engine runs smoothly and quietly, the suspension is silent, not a single “cricket” started even in the cabin from driving on domestic potholes. In addition to the cost of gasoline, which, by the way, the Duster consumes with enviable appetite (at the moment, the average fuel consumption is about 12 liters per 100 km in urban mode), we spent only on seasonal changing of rubber shoes.

And yet, planning the editorial budget made us not only find out the cost of the first MOT, but also ask ourselves how much money a French crossover can require for its maintenance during the warranty and post-warranty periods.

According to the regulations, a service call is required every 15,000 km or once a year from the date of purchase of the car, depending on which limit is reached earlier. In addition to changing the ELF Evolution SRX 5W30 oil and, accordingly, the oil filter, maintenance includes:

1) Replacement of spark plugs;
2) Replacement of air and cabin filters;
3) If necessary, adding working fluids (usually antifreeze);
4) Comprehensive diagnostics components and assemblies of the car.

The total cost of consumables and work performed will be 8,400 rubles.

Moreover, depending on the region of operation, the cost of maintenance may vary, since the Russian representative office of Renault decided to divide our country into two tariff zones. The first includes owners of Renault cars living in large cities (for them, maintenance is more expensive), the second - all the rest. One could be outraged by such discrimination, but comparing the prices for services for both categories, it turns out that the difference is only 5% on average.

The amount equivalent to the first MOT will cost the arrival at the dealership for the second and third time. But for TO-4 (60,000 km) you will have to fork out more thoroughly. It is on this Renault mileage Duster will require replacement of the timing belt and its tension rollers, as well as an additional belt attachments. Naturally, to this must be added the cost of all regular scheduled maintenance operations. Eventually runs the amount of 22 850 rubles. And the total cost for 60,000 kilometers of run only for routine maintenance will be about 48,000 rubles.

It is also worth adding the replacement of the front brake pads, which during the specified period, most likely, will have to be changed twice. The one-time cost of this procedure is 4 580 rubles. And if you manage to erase the rear drums, then their replacement will cost already 8 850 rubles.

An omnivorous suspension can also play a cruel joke with the owner of Renault Duster, which over time weans the owner from slowing down in front of various kinds of bumps. From our own experience, we notice that the rails and potholes no longer cause the urge to slow down. But such a ride does not increase the resource of shock absorbers in any way. Renault Duster strut replacement will cost 13,160 rubles for the front pair and 11 240 rubles for the back two.

For a 60,000th period of attention, the air conditioning system (if any) may also require attention. Its diagnostics at the dealer station will cost 1 700 rubles. And together with refueling - in 4 700 rubles.

But for the operation of the system all-wheel drive no need to worry - Duster's is still maintenance-free, but strong. with a long, but effective attempt to leave the snowy field, he showed that the clutch with honor withstands increased loads without overheating ahead of time. However, if the clutch still fails beyond repair, its replacement will cost fabulous 75 140 rubles.

As a result, with intensive and inaccurate operation, the total cost of Renault Duster during the warranty period can jump. up to 85,000 rubles, which is a lot.

The guarantee itself for the Franco-Romanian crossover is quite ordinary: 3 years or 100,000 km. Naturally, all "consumables" and operating fluids are not included in the warranty. It will not be possible to replace under warranty those nodes that are referred to in the service book as “subject to natural wear and tear”. We do not know a specific list of such units, but it is clear that any moving mechanisms, one way or another, wear out. For example, the same shock absorbers are included in the warranty up to 25,000 km - after that they will have to be changed for their own money. The situation is similar with other suspension elements, the maximum warranty mileage for which is set at 50,000 km.

It is worth noting that for those who do not wind 100,000 kilometers in three years, Renault has an extension program warranty service, but only by time, not by mileage. For Renault Duster, you can extend the period by a year or two for 9,500 or 14,500 rubles respectively. True, you need to estimate your annual mileage already at the stage of buying a car: for safety reasons, Renault allows you to conclude an additional warranty contract only in the first 90 days from the date of purchase of the car.

For those who are already planning to drive Renault Duster not only guarantee period, we found out how much the most popular spare parts cost at dealers, along with work to replace them. Let's say in advance that those who still consider the French crossover "budget" with an equally easy cost after-sales service may be disappointed.

From the point of view of additional expenses for the further maintenance of the car, we are a full-fledged European car. With all the financial implications...

Every car needs timely maintenance. The Renault Duster car manufacturer has developed a maintenance program. This program specifies the frequency of repair work, as well as which operations should be carried out during the first and subsequent maintenance. The article will be useful to those who bought the Duster and want to learn about the maintenance of their crossover. About how to save up to 30% on each MOT,.

Renault has indicated the intervals or mileage of the vehicle after which service should be carried out. At the end of the article you can find a summary table for the Renault Duster maintenance program, and now let's look at the features of each periodic maintenance. For gasoline engine mileage to TO-1 is 15 thousand kilometers. For diesel, this figure is only 10 thousand kilometers. This is because diesel engine more sensitive to the quality of engine oil and fuel.

If during the first year of operation the car has not passed the specified mileage, then maintenance is still carried out. Also with subsequent technical inspections - they are carried out upon reaching the specified mileage of 15,000 km or every 12 months.

What is done at the first maintenance

Here is a list of work performed during the first maintenance on the Renault Duster.

Gas engine

• It is carried out with a mandatory change of the oil filter
• changing air filter engine (how to replace yourself,)
• replaceable (recommended to change 2 times a year)
• Diagnostics of the ECU (engine control unit) is carried out on special equipment
• The tightness of the engine systems - cooling, power supply, exhaust is checked.
• The integrity of hoses, connections and pipelines is checked.

diesel engine

The list of works on the engine corresponds to the gasoline one with some additions. Additionally, the fuel filter is replaced (on some models every 10 thousand km.). The price of a fuel filter is approximately 2-3 thousand rubles. The coolant is added.

Advice! Choose a reliable gas station with quality fuel to avoid costly repairs to diesel fuel equipment.

Other works and their periodicity

• Timing and auxiliary belts are replaced on a gasoline engine at the 4th MOT or after a run of 60,000 km.
• The fuel filter of a gasoline engine has a resource of 120,000 km and is replaced at the 8th maintenance.
• Spark plugs are changed at intervals of 30,000 km on a gasoline engine.
• After a run of 90 thousand kilometers, the coolant should be replaced. At the same stage, it is replaced brake fluid car.
• Every 60 thousand km, diagnostics and cleaning of the rear brakes are carried out.

Operations carried out each MOT

• The clutch is checked, the condition of the anthers of the semi-axes grenades.
• The condition of the tires and the pressure in them are monitored.
• The condition of the stabilizer joints, as well as silent blocks in the suspension arms, is checked.
• If necessary, ball bearings, shock absorbers (front and rear) are replaced.
• In the steering, the condition of the anthers of the steering rods, the tightness of the power steering system and the fluid level are monitored.
• Unlike the rear brakes, the front brakes are checked every service, as they are more stressed when braking than the rear ones.
• The integrity of the hydraulic brake drive, tubes, hoses, as well as the fluid level in the brake system are monitored.
• It is obligatory to check the battery, the lamps of the internal and external lighting of the car. The operation of instrumentation is checked.
• rear-view mirrors, and windshield checked for integrity, the condition of the front and rear wipers is also monitored.
• Integrity check is carried out, the hood lock is lubricated.
• Be sure to change the cabin filter, which purifies the air entering the passenger compartment.

After 2 years of operation, it is carried out, and after 4 years, the refrigerant in the air conditioning system is replenished.

General maintenance program for Renault Duster

Renault recommends that, throughout the warranty period and post-warranty period, a maintenance program be followed at the intervals indicated in this table (whichever comes first):

maintenance schedule

1. 50% of its time, the vehicle is operated at low speeds (driving short distances, operating Idling etc.)
2. more than 50% of the distance traveled, the average speed did not exceed 30 km/h (urban operation, taxis, training vehicles, delivery vehicles, etc.)
3. at least 30% of the distance traveled, the vehicle was towing a trailer or van weighing more than 500 kg
4. long-term operation in a dusty atmosphere (on construction sites, with a run of more than 1000 km per year on unpaved roads, etc.)
5. long-term operation (more than 5000 km per year) with constant temperature air below -15 degrees
6. use of fuel that does not comply with Renault regulations
7. for 4×4 models: long-term operation in severe weather conditions (heavy rain, etc.), in regions with high humidity, or regular driving on wet and muddy roads.

For the specified operating conditions, replacement operating fluids and filters occurs twice as often as with normal ones.

We offer you to watch a video on how maintenance is carried out, what work is being done:

Conclusion

Buying new car dealer, do not forget to pass the necessary service. The first maintenance is the most important, but it is imperative to monitor the condition of the vehicle's components and assemblies as prescribed by the manufacturer. Maintenance is recommended at so that the car remains under warranty for as long as possible.

Do not forget about the operating conditions of the car. With intensive loads, maintenance intervals can be reduced by 2 times, and vice versa - careful use will allow you to delay the replacement of some parts!
