Maintenance schedule for Renault Duster 2. How to save on maintenance Renault Duster

Consider the maintenance schedule: what operations need to be done, how to do it yourself, what is needed for this, how to do without special devices and other subtleties. To obtain the necessary information, it is enough to follow the corresponding link placed in the text, in the table or at the bottom of the publication.

Maintenance in compliance with the work schedule established by the car manufacturer is a guarantee of long-term trouble-free service of your car. Many of us completely entrust this work to a car service. But a trip to a service station is always a cost of both time and money.

Meanwhile, many car maintenance operations are technically simple and do not require large physical strength. You don't need to be a car mechanic to do most of the routine maintenance work.

You will be amazed at how much time you will save if you do these jobs yourself.

But you will be even more amazed by the fact that the cost of some simple service operations can significantly exceed the cost of replacement parts.

So, for Renault Duster, the frequency of maintenance is taken by the manufacturer to be a multiple of 15 thousand kilometers.

At the same time, the cost of the set of works prescribed by the regulations for replacing consumables and checking systems, components and assemblies of the car, depending on the configuration, reaches 7000 rubles. And this is without taking into account the cost of the consumables themselves!

We do not suggest that you become a repair specialist, a kind of "all-round-master" that every yard or every garage cooperative was once famous for. We just suggest you save a little your time and your money.

Having familiarized yourself with the Renault Duster maintenance regulations, you will understand that this is quite real.

Maintenance schedule Renault Duster

* Or four years from now, whichever comes first.

** Or in three years, whichever comes first.

When the vehicle has traveled more than 120 thousand km, the maintenance procedures should be carried out at the frequency indicated in the table. During the operation of the car, its technical condition changes due to wear of the working surfaces of parts, violation of regulation parameters, aging of plastic and rubber products. In order to keep the vehicle in good working order, it may be necessary to perform some of the described operations more frequently. If the car is operated in dusty conditions, low ambient temperatures, used for transporting a trailer, frequent trips at low speed or short distances, then maintenance should be carried out more often.

Every car needs timely maintenance. The car manufacturer Renault Duster has developed a maintenance program. This program indicates 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 a Duster and want to know about the maintenance of their crossover. How to save up to 30% on each service.

Renault has indicated the intervals or mileage of the vehicle after which the 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 we will consider the features of each periodic maintenance. For a gasoline engine, the 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 quality engine oil and fuel.

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

What is done during the first maintenance

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

Gas engine

• Performed with a mandatory change oil filter
• The engine air filter is changing (how to replace it yourself,)
• to be replaced (it is 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 is checked - cooling, power supply, exhaust.
• The integrity of hoses, connections and pipelines is checked.

Diesel engine

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

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

Other works and their frequency

• Replacement of timing belts and auxiliary belts is carried out on a gasoline engine at the 4th maintenance 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 service.
• The spark plugs are changed every 30,000 km on a gasoline engine.
• After running 90 thousand kilometers, the coolant should be replaced. At the same stage, the brake fluid of the car is also replaced.

Conclusion

Buying new car at the dealer, do not forget about the passage of the necessary service. The first maintenance is the most important, but it is imperative to monitor the condition of the vehicle components and assemblies as prescribed by the manufacturer. It is recommended to carry out MOT so that the car remains under warranty as long as possible.

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

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

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

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 maintenance more often: after every 10 thousand km traveled.

Even if the operation of the car is not active and in a year it runs less than the indicated mileage, owners of Duster modifications, classics and restyled models will still have to visit a 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 state of the car. Our experts are convinced that there is always a lot of benefit with preventive maintenance - both financial and practical.

• Do not bring the condition of Renault Duster units to critical breakdowns, diagnose faults in time. This will significantly simplify the operation of the car itself, and will affect the cost 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. It is not necessary to replace the timing belt or the fuel filter before TO-4 (60 thousand km), 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 works, so they will have to be carried out in any case at their own expense.

Renault Duster maintenance cost

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

After the first calculation, a significant, up to 50% difference between the prices for servicing Renault Duster at an authorized dealer and in the Garage Tech Center will become noticeable.

Yes. But the car is under warranty and this means that all work is required to be carried out only by a dealer.

Not at all. There are at least three articles of the FZoPP that refute the ultimatum and untenable requirements of the ML on the implementation of any repair, preventive and routine procedures only with 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 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 craftsmen and a powerful technical base allow us to carry out preventive, repair, maintenance and any other additional work with the most worthy result, and each client can get the expected high level of quality.

Timely maintenance of Renault Duster is not an empty requirement of the manufacturer, but a guarantee of long-term operation of the car and a guarantee against surprises on the road. It is most reliable to carry out complexes of maintenance activities for Duster at specialized services.

Renault Tech Center Repair is an unofficial specialized Renault service. We have dealer equipment and special tools, and our specialists are perfectly familiar with the structure of cars of this French brand. The warehouse contains all spare parts and consumables for the repair and maintenance of Renault Duster (both original and proven third-party manufacturers).

Types of TO Renault Duster

There are two main TO Duster complexes - TO-1 and TO-2. They differ in the amount of work and are performed at different vehicle runs. When operating the machine in harsh conditions, the regulations provide for a reduction in service intervals, depending on the operating conditions. Severe conditions are considered to be increased dustiness of the air, off-road driving, mud, swamp, loose snow, long-term operation of the machine in conditions of high or low temperatures.

The first TO Renault Duster (TO 1) for gasoline engines is carried out every 15,000 km or 1 year of operation. For diesel engines, this period is 10,000 km. At the same time, the following works are minimally performed:

• replacement of filters - oil, air, cabin filter
• checking the condition and, if necessary, replacing candles
• engine oil change

For complete maintenance, this is certainly not enough, therefore, the whole complex is performed according to the automaker's regulations:

• checking the level and, if necessary, topping up technical fluids - cooling and brake
• checking the condition of all vehicle systems - steering, braking, ventilation, running gear
• checking the tension and adjusting the timing belts and auxiliary mechanisms
• comprehensive diagnostics of vehicle components and assemblies, etc.

In our service, the cost of maintenance for Duster starts from just 1560 rubles. You can calculate the cost of TO Renault Duster, including work and supplies, on the website's calculator.

The second TO Renault Duster (TO 2) for gasoline engines is carried out every 60,000 km. For diesel engines, this interval is 40,000 km. TO-2 includes all works of the first TO and additional:

• replacement of the timing belt, tension and drive rollers
• replacement of the poly V-belt of the accessory drive

These jobs require special tools and confident skills from the performer.

The price of TO 2 for Duster depends on the engine modification and ranges from 4260 rubles for 8 valve motors and 4960 rubles for 16 valves.

Additional work Renault Duster TO

In addition to the already listed service works, there are additional works recommended by the manufacturer. The air conditioning system is serviced at least after 30 thousand kilometers. At least every 90 thousand or 6 years of operation, it is necessary to change the coolant and brake fluid. During this period, they develop an acceptable resource and cease to reliably perform their functions. At an interval of 120,000 km, in the next scheduled maintenance of Renault Duster with gasoline engines, it is necessary to replace the fuel filter in the car's tank.

Undercarriage parts must be diagnosed at every service. Ball joints, tie rod ends, shock absorbers, wheel bearings and other suspension elements should be replaced as they wear out. The resource strongly depends on the driving style of the car and the quality of the road surface.

If you have problems with the quality of work of various systems of the Renault Duster car, then our masters will be able to help - they will carry out diagnostics, find the source of the problem and eliminate it.

Features of the maintenance Renault Duster in Renault Car Service Repair

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

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 might even require for its maintenance during the warranty and post-warranty periods.

According to the regulations, it is required to call in at the service every 15,000 km or once a year from the date of purchase of the car, whichever 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) Replacing the air and cabin filters;
3) If necessary, topping up working fluids (as a rule, antifreeze);
4) Comprehensive diagnostics of vehicle components and assemblies.

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 differ, since the Russian representative office of Renault decided to divide our country into two tariff zones. The first includes owners of Renault cars who live in large cities (for them maintenance is more expensive), the second - all the rest. One could be indignant at such discrimination, but comparing the prices for services of services for both categories, it turns out that the difference is on average only 5%.

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

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

An omnivorous suspension can also play a cruel joke with the owner of Renault Duster, which eventually disaccords the owner to slow down in front of all sorts of irregularities. From our own experience, we notice that 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. Replacement racks Renault Duster will cost 13 160 rubles for the front pair and 11 240 rubles for the two back.

For a 60 thousandth period, the air conditioning system (if available) may also require attention. Her diagnostics at a dealership station will cost 1,700 rubles... And together with the gas station - in 4 700 rubles.

But for the work of the system all-wheel drive There is no need to worry - Duster still has it unattended, but strong. with a long, but effective attempt to leave the snow field, he showed that the coupling can withstand increased loads without overheating ahead of time. However, if the clutch still fails without the possibility of repair, its replacement will cost fabulous 75 140 rubles.

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

The very guarantee of a Franco-Romanian crossover is quite ordinary: 3 years or 100,000 km of run. Naturally, all "consumables" and operating fluids not included in the warranty. It will not be possible to replace under warranty those units that are called "subject to natural wear and tear" in the service book. 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 for up to 25,000 km of run - after that you will have to change them at your own expense. The situation is similar with other suspension elements, the maximum guaranteed mileage for which is determined at 50,000 km.

It is worth noting that for those who do not wind 100,000 kilometers in three years, Renault has a warranty extension program, but only by time, and not by mileage. For Renault Duster, you can increase 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 already now intend to skate on Renault Duster not only the warranty period, we found out how much the most popular spare parts cost from dealers along with work on their replacement. Let's say in advance that those who still consider the French crossover "budgetary" with the same easy cost of 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 consequences ...
