Applicability on cars

Budget models of Renault cars Logan 1.4 and Logan 1.6 over a nearly ten-year history of presence on Russian roads managed to conquer recognition of many thousands of motorists. The concept of the French manufacturer, who resolved in 1998 to create an inexpensive and practical passenger car, intended for emerging markets, received the most triumphant continuation and unexpected development. If in 2005 it all started at the small platform of the Autoframos enterprise in Moscow with a "screwdriver" assembly of several thousand cars per month, then today the Volga car plant builds his annual plans, relying on the whole "Loganovskaya" model paint: Renault Logan, Renault Sandero, Lada Largus. Sales of these three models in the country in 2014 exceeded 160 thousand pieces.

In a large extent, this popularity of these models of Renault ensured the use of proven and well-proven in other machines of the concern of the concern and well-established engines of internal combustion of the K7J 1.4 L and K7M 1.6 l series of internal combustion engines. The flagship line for Renault Logan is considered to be the 16V four-cylinder liquid cooling unit with the K4M index, the production of which, in addition to the Renault Espana parent company, also mastered the production sites of AvtoVAZ. These 16-dipal motors with decent technical characteristics still equip other Renault models (Sandero, Duster, Kangoo, Megane, Fluence), as well as Lada Largus and Nissan Almera G11.

Features of the design and DVS specification

Engine design K7J (manufacturer Automobile Dacia, Romania) 1.4 l / 75 hp It is inherited from the rather old Motors of the Renault 1980s corporation (EXJ series) and therefore looks somewhat archaic: here and the unusual chain drive of the oil pump used on units with the lower arrangement of the camshafts, and the ancient rims of timidation. The remaining engine solutions 1.4 are standard and no different from other four-stroke 4-cylinder single SOHC Type Motors: Round vertical cylinder location, 2 valves per cylinder, drive Timing from a toothed belt, Liquid cooling and combined lubricant system (for the most loaded DVS parts. Lubricant Under pressure, to all other things - simple splashing). K7J is more than 400 thousand km of mileage. Motor 1.4 provides a car the following dynamics: the maximum speed is 162 km / h, the hundred is dialing in 13 seconds.

Engine Renault Logan K7M 710 and its successor K7M 800 (production All the same Automobile Dacia) 1.6 l and 86 hp (K7M 800 - 82 hp) according to the design almost completely coincide with K7J, also have liquid cooling, but they have an increased piston increased by 10.5 mm, obtained by changing the height of the block. Other clutch and flywheel (larger diameter) are also used, and the gearbox crankcase has minor modified changes. The K7M resource also exceeds 400 thousand km in running. Dynamic motor characteristics: speed at a maximum of 172 km / h, 100 km / h - for 11.9 seconds, unlike 1.4.

The greatest differences in the design and characteristics are observed at the engine K4M, despite the fact that this internal engine is 1.6 liters and 102 hp It is also the next development of the K7M series. Absolutely new 16-valve cylinder head with two lightweight camshafts and a new piston system. Here, finally, it is eliminated by the need for constant adjustment of the DVS valves through sufficiently short runs, is eliminated by the simple use of well-known hydrocomathers. Motor speeds up cars up to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds, reaching a maximum of 180 km - quite good characteristics. There are no frank weak points in this unit: the necessary changes are made to the system in terms of pumps and thermostat, the ignition module was completed.

Advantages and disadvantages of power units

Significant experience of operating car Reno with all three types of liquid cooling engines allows you to make a rather objective picture of their strengths and weaknesses, and two models of K7J and K7M are almost identical to these characteristics, and only the K4M engine has significant differences due to more modern technological solutions, And what better, solve already buyers.

Advantages of K7J and K7M:

• low cost and simplicity of engines;
• reliability: confirmed motor resource is more than 400 thousand km;
• versatility and maintainability;
• simplicity of maintenance;
• high torque;
• good "elasticity" of engines, equal to 1.83.

Disadvantages of K7J and K7M:

• relatively high fuel consumption;
• the instability of revolutions when working at idle;
• the absence in the design of hydrocomathers, as a result, the need for constant valve adjustments (after 20-30 thousand km);
• "Bend" valves with a sudden breakdown of the timing belt;
• increased "fluidity" crankshaft salts;
• weak reliability of the elements of the cooling system;
• noise and tendency to vibrations.

The advantages of the K7M model in front of the K7J can only be attributed to a 12% maximum power and at a 11% maximum torque. But for these advantages of KHS 1.6 l pays and increased by 4.5% appetite, so what is better, the question is controversial.

Advantages of K4M:

• reliability, practical resource exceeds 400 thousand kilometers;
• compliance with Euro-4 environmental standards;
• increased power (102 hp);
• low noise and vibration resistance;
• more modern and reliable cooling system.

Compared to 8-valve engines, K4M 16V works much quieter, not prone to vibrations and has the same resource, but significantly high power and torque.

Motor disadvantages K4M:

• expensive spare parts;
• "Bend" valves during belt breakdown;
• the weak "elasticity" of the engine equal to 1.53, as a result, problems with the acceleration of the car during overtakers.

Thus, a detailed analysis of the technical characteristics of all three DVS samples, as well as the practical experience of operating Renault Logan with these power plants makes it possible to determine which motor is better. The more powerful ICC 1.6 l with liquid cooling is still somewhat preferable to its "older brother" 1.4 liters. Power 75 hp It is simply not enough for a comfortable control of a loaded car either on a country track, nor in short "mining" in the city. And in the 16V dispute with 8V, the first sample acts as an unconditional leader. The only characteristic on which 16V loses to its opponent - "Elasticity". For the rest of the characteristics 16V is better better. The engine V16 with liquid cooling of the Renault corporation is simply much more modern and gives more opportunities to the driver.

Review Renault Logan 1.6 L, 16 valves, 5-transmissions. Version "Prestige".

My auto studio:

1) VAZ 2105 1.5 4-MCP (owns.) - 40,000 km;

2) Renault Symbol 1.4 5-transmission (services) - 12,000 km;

3) VW POLO 1.4 8 CL. 5-MCPP Hatchback (Services) - 105,000 km;

4) Skoda Octavia 1.6 16 CL. 5-MCPP (services) - 23,000 km;

5) RENAULT SYMBOL 1.4 16 CL. 5-MCP (service) - 26,000 km;

6) Renault Logan 1.6 16 CL. 5-MCP (owns.) - 44,500 km for today.

I bought a car in February 2011 in Laki Motors in Yekaterinburg. The first installment of 77 000 r. + 15 000 r. in the month For 3 years (498 000 r.).

Additionally bought rubber mats into the salon, plastic pallet in the trunk, installed the salon filter (2000 p.).

Now at odometer 46,000 km.

Machine is very pleased. A lot of reliable convenient car of the Russian assembly for Russian roads without Ponte.

Chose a new car based on the budget of 400 000 r. Looked:

1. Renault Logan.

2. Hyundai accent.

3. Lada Priora.

4. Skoda Fabia.

5. Nissan Almera Classic.

It was also a desire to take Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 7-DSG for 900 000 r. And to get on the most ... in debt, but the sober calculation won.

Chose Renault Logan (collected reviews) for:

1. Reliability (according to taxi drivers in Ekate, Kurgan and Tyumen, cars go to 200,000 km without repair. Come on any frost).

2. Capacity (when it was without a car - I myself went like a passenger in Loganah - I liked the review and convenience of the rear sofa. It is also important for me - children from the chairs a very good review).

3. High road clearance is 155 mm, it is important for me to ride the cottage on a broken primer (here it is accent and disappeared, in principle ...).

4. The quality of the assembly (mechanics in the service said that Lada was cooked and assembled no matter and did not advise it to take it, and Logan on "excellent").

5. I also looked at the economy and environmental friendliness of Logan - Euro 4, the claimed consumption in the city of 9.4 l / 100 km (1.6 16 CL), the same as the engine is 1.4 8 valves.

Grade "Prestige" because:

1. This is the maximum speed, and it has everything that designers have conceived for her.

2. The most modern in the line engine 1.6 16 valves 102 liters. from. 145 N / m at 3700 rpm / min., (My colleague used Logan 1.4 - said that sometimes when overtaking on the highway, there is a little lack of elasticity of 80-120 km / h).

4. Best interior decoration.

5. The most elegant appearance.

6. Maximum security (viewed all rollers crash tests on Euroncap).

White color - because:

1. Less heats over the sun in the summer.

2. The brightest car at dusk - white, this is safety.

3. Any small car looks good in white.

Advantages of a car

1. A very roomy interior - for the mother's mother + dad + 2 children + mother-in-law - comes perfectly. In the rear seat, 2 children's armchairs are placed and a teaching (165 cm, 75 kg). The trunk includes 2 children's bikes with side wheels!, Or a gasoline lawn mower, or a bunch of things, the arcs of the trunk cover are a bit bother, but it can be used to it. But the lid opens very wide.

2. The cabin is quiet enough when driving up to 100 km / h. Additional sound insulation (version "Prestige") did not need, although before buying a car, I read the reviews about noise and planned to do it. Extra sound insulation budget 17,000-25 000 rubles. In the salon Renault Avtomir. Lucky Motors said that in general such nonsense would not be engaged in ...

3. Excellent suspension and geometry: ground clearance under load 155 mm and a wheelbase of 2630 mm. Comfortable passing by lying police, pits and cords. I went on a broken sealing road from Kolay, puddles with a depth of 30 cm and froars with four passengers - drove easily. I asked for passengers to just a couple of times. On the way to Dacha - 2 km Rask - fly as on asphalt. It is a pity to look at Mazda Owners 3, Ford Focus and other low cars for a million, when they are trying to drive for me on Coldes, poor people. Once from me, Toyota Highlander last generation on the broken range (the road for trucks from 44 km of Ekad to Ganina Pet) lagged behind - a sorry for a dear car. And when, later on the asphalt, Toyota caught up and began to travel around the left - the driver already a little on the right window did not lean to see who there in the "Logan" rides ... and then, when he traveled, so with irritation and a light pressed for gas ... I Railed.

4. Gasoline consumption: in the summer city / highway - 8.9 l / 6.7 liters per 100 km of way. In winter, the city / highway is 11 l / 7.8 liters per 100 km of way. In the city I love to accelerate sharply, and on the highway I go 90-110, I overtake the wagons, we swear, the engine is up to 5000 revolutions per minute. I use ER friction winner in the engine from the very first kilometers - I like it; It is felt that the engine is spinning easier and the consumption of gasoline is reduced by 0.5-1 liters per 100 km along the highway.

5. Excellent overview from the front seats, and for children from children's chairs in the rear seats.

6. Live motor. Obtaining up to 28,000 km (C er), then drove more. The torque is especially felt when I'm going alone. If the full load is hard to overtake on the track, only if with a large margin. I fill the 98th gasoline in the summer. Motor accelerates the car more than 95th and 92nd. In winter, if colder -25 degrees, - 92th, so that it started at the frost better. The motor will start with half a turn in -32 degree, no automotive supply and Webasto. Also using a special blanket (auto) in winter. Motor with it cools slower.

7. Convenient landing, especially in the rear seats - as on the sofa (compared to Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Golf 6 - are sitting there as in the basin).

8. Comfortable rear doors. It is convenient to plant children and upload, for example, TV.

9. Nice headlight: Middle - Adjusts the angle of headlights and the far beats by 150-200 m. Enough for the movement of 90-110 km / h along the night highway.

10. Clear and convenient service. Then after 15,000 km on the regulations, I do more often. 1, 2 and 3 then - 8 000 rubles. The salon filter changes himself, it costs up to 450 rubles, I try to change once in 2 months. In the summer I put the coal. 4 then by 60,000 km with the replacement of the timing belt in the salon "Laki Motors" promised to do in 17,000 rubles.

11. Managed as a small car (compared to Skoda Octavia is a real ship).

12. Does not blow off with a narrow highway (2 bands for the movement without separating) airfill from the truck when moving 110 km per hour and the truck towards 90 km / h (compared to the VW Polo - it carried out to keep it).

Disadvantages of a car

1. Do not respect the road, if you have a little talked, but when you go quickly and show all rebuildings - ok.

2. Snow and dirt accumulates for the top edge of the doors. The snow freezes and turns into a lot, it is necessary to sweep it out, so as not to be looked into the salon when you open the doors.

3. With wet (frosty) weather - fogging (freezed) rear windows.

4. No lumbar support on the driver's seat. All adjustments are stepped, sometimes it is difficult to choose a convenient position. With long trips, the spin is tired.

5. No full-time hooks for fixing grid in the trunk.

6. Insufficient Parking Overview Back - Better to order Parktronic (about 8,000 rubles), or rear-view camera, or pointing into bottlenecks only before. I hit the bumper twice (without consequences), but only in the first days of operation. Then you get used to, and the dimensions are read very well.

7. It seemed to me that the cabin cools very quickly when the engine is turned off in winter, but it is subjective.

8. Aerodynamics - after 80 km / h begins to whistle the incident air flow. To this you need to get used to it. Windshield coefficient 0.36 (like a brick)

9. Dealer service - expensive.

10. Very often burn out of the Middle Lights. (Additional protection is needed). I already put a lamp with a double service life. I turn on the Middle Light not earlier than 1 min after starting the engine. Ooly carefully closing the hood. And all the same lamps are enough for a maximum of 3 months. "Autoframos" - do something with light !!!

11. The rear seats are not folded. Dear developers !!! Make already folding seats, all classmates are folded. In the family car, it is sometimes necessary to carry a crib or an adult bike or something completely oversized !!!

12. The angle of the back of the rear seat is not changed. If a child fell asleep for 5 years in a chair - the head falls forward. It is necessary that the back is deflected back and the baby would travel almost lying.

Overall impression

I advise Logan to practical family people without an inferiority complex. Remember that the machine is limited to the possibility of transformation of the cabin. We do not advise young guys - you will regret buying.

Malfunctions and repair of the engine Renault Logan / Sandero 1.6 K7M

RENAULT LOGAN K7M 710 engine 1.6 liters. 86 hp Not other than the usual K7J 1.4 liter, only with an increased piston running (from 70 to 80.5 mm), by itself the height of the block slightly increased, the adhesion of the larger diameter, the flywheel increased and the shape of the CATER CTP has changed. Structurally engine Logan 1.6 liters, as well as his low-volume fellow, has all the same archaic design of the middle of the last century with a rocker and a strange oil pump drive from the lower reno of motors of the 60s. In spite of everything, with a careful attitude to the motor, service and maintenance, replacing the oil 2 times more often than according to the instructions, it is very and very reliable, according to the internal data of the engine of Logan 1.6 about 400 thousand km, in practice the engine drove a little more .
In 2010, the K7M 710 was replaced at the K7M 800, the motor was invented, pulled into the ecological norm of Euro-4, the capacity decreased to 83 hp, there was no constructive change.
The minuses at K7M are the same as the engine K7J 1.4, high fuel consumption, often at idle begin to float the turnover, constantly (once in 20-30 thousand km) need to be adjusted valve, hydrocompensators as it was not so and no, the thrift The belt, when the belt is climbing, Logan 1.6 is a valve oppression, so once in 60 thousand km change the belt. All the same leaks of the crankshaft. Motor noisy, there are vibrations. On the device of the engine Renault Logan 1.6 and where the engine number is located, the information is set forth in the article "motor K7J.", In addition to the scope and related changes, other changes has no change. There are also described all the malfunctions and the causes of their occurrence. Speaking about what engine on Renault Logan is better than 1.4 or 1.6 8 valves, take 1.6 ... The engine is the same, but a slightly disconnector is completely weak.
Also on the basis of K7M, the engine was created K4M With 16 valve GBC and other significant innovations, the power of such a motor is significantly higher and in the event of a choice (for example Logan, Sandero), always take it, you will not regret.

Engine tuning Renault Logan K7M 1.6

Chip Tuning Engine Renault Logan

Engine Logan K7M 800 You can remove the catalyst, return its initial power of 86 hp, put the exhaust and flash the sport with firmware, maybe a couple of horses and add, but nothing will not change significantly, except for fuel consumption, now your motor will eat more))

Compressor and turbine on Logan 1.6

The installation of turbocharging and compressor is described in an example of 1.4 liter engine and all this 1 in 1 is applicable to 1.6 liters. Engine power Logan 1.6 will be on average by 5-10 hp More with a similar approach. Running forward ... to achieve high power you will not work.

Inexpensive Renault Logan cars began their history back in 1998, when the French manufacturer decided to establish production of cars oriented cars. But, it is in Russia that the data of the car gained really impressive popularity. The fact is that by 2014 the production of cars under the auspices of Reno on the Volzhsky automotive factory has reached indicators of 160 thousand units per year.

Renault Logan Line Engines

Engine K7J on Renault Logan 2006. One of the most massively installed engines for this model

If you look at, then in K7J you can see some features characteristic of the EXJ series, produced by Renault in the eighties of the last century. To such archaizms should include the chain drive of the Maslonasos, the old types of rocker vehicles, as well as the method of accommodating some details. Other motor solutions with a volume of 1.4 liters almost do not differ from other motors with one shaft from the SOHC family.

This is all the same inline layout of cylinders in the vertical layout, the presence of two valves per cylinder, as well as the system of combined lubricant supply. Nevertheless, all this does not reduce the advantages of the motor ,. At the same time, Renault Logan with this power unit can accelerate to "hundreds" in thirteen seconds, holding the maximum speed at a rate of 162 kilometers per hour.

Engine K7m.

Less popular 8-liter valve engine 1.6 liters - K7M

The K7M version with a larger volume differs little from its "junior fellow", only by the course of the piston, which has become more than 10.5 millimeters. In addition, another type of clutch and flywheel applies with an increased diameter. This made it possible to increase dynamic and speed indicators by almost 10 percent. But the diseases with the briefness of the clutch cable failed, therefore.

Engine K4M.

The most powerful 16 valve engine from the ruler. Such an engine was put on the version of the car in the suite

But the K4M motor with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 102 horsepower can boast the presence of 16 valves.

It includes a pair of lightweight camshafts, as well as a completely new piston system. It is not necessary to adjust the valve too much, since there are hydrocomathers in the design. At the same time, the "hundred" is gained in 10.5 seconds, and the maximum speed will be 180 kilometers per hour.

Advantages and disadvantages of 8 valve engines

The advantages of eight-flaped motors include their low cost, ease of design and good reliability. In addition, repairing motors will be easily, and the torque will be quite high.

As for the shortcomings of such motors, they are in, poor-quality work at idle, as well as the need to adjust the valves every 20 thousand kilometers. A, when leaving the timing belt ,. And we are no longer talking about increased noise.

Advantages and disadvantages of 16 valve engines

But a 16-valve engine offers an increased resource, compliance with EURO-4 standard, as well as low noise. In addition, the cooling system will turn out to be more reliable and modern than in the 8 valve aggregate. Consider only the fact that the parts for such a motor will be more expensive, the problem of "bend" valves will remain, and the "elasticity" of the motor will be minimal, which will affect the quality of riding under overtaking.

Video overclocking up to 100 km per hour on a 16 valve

conclusions

To say what kind of motor is better - difficult. For lovers of new opportunities, it is necessary to recommend a sixteen-flaped option, whereas for those who prefer the simplicity of the engine, it is better to suit his eight-flaped option.

The 16-valve engine is more expensive in service, as it has another attached equipment (, generator, etc.).

But one thing is clear to ensure the maximum engine life, it is necessary to comply with the temperature modes of the engine.

Symptoms that indicate the wrong engine operation:

Attitude towards the French budget sedan is ambiguous. Many consider Renault Logan by one of the best cars in their segment, someone even calls him invincible. Interestingly, Romanian Dacia, from which the modern Logan grew up, is quite a simple car, on technology this car does not too much overtakes the domestic Lada. However, our trust is significantly higher for foreign cars, it is precisely why Logan's popularity practically caught up selling the most popular Lada models. Yes, and the COOPERATION VAZ and RENAULT also shows a certain confidence of the buyer to the brand, today Renaults consider almost a domestic market representative. Renault Logan 1.6 - the optimal choice among the engines presented today. Moreover, in Russia, no more technical equipment options are presented.

Many are interested in the issue of fuel consumption on Renault Logan with a 1.6 liter engine. Let's start with the fact that there are two engines with this volume. The first shows 82 horses and has in the design of only 8 valves, and the second, 16-valve unit, with the same volume offers 102 horsepower. Fuel consumption will be almost the same, but the peculiarities of the trip on various power units will be different. It is important to get more information about what is important for you in the car before choosing one or another engine. Let the difference in price and a small, but in operation you will notice certain differences in the power plants. Use the test drive to determine the necessary features of the car you like most.

Engine Features 1.6 8V on Renault Logan

The French budget sedan is very good in his performance, especially like buyers last generation of the machine. Nevertheless, there are certain disadvantages that make the car not the most amazing in a competitive row. Of course, for the promised 450,000 rubles of the starting price you do not expect to get something supernatural. However, for this money you can buy only Renault Logan 1.6 8V in the basic configuration. The engine has not such high power, but is a completely reliable and endless power unit. For the track such a car is too weak, but for the city it will fit perfectly. The main features of the power unit are as follows:

• the volume of 1.6 liters has become excellent quality, the bulk aggregates are rare in our time;
• total 82 horsepower can disappoint you, but the torque is early and very thoughtful;
• boxes are available mechanical and automatic, on the machine the engine is not in a hurry to go anywhere;
• fuel consumption on mechanics in the urban cycle is 9.5 liters, in a rustic - 7.5 liters of 95 gasoline;
• automatic consumption will increase and will be 11 and 8.5 liters, respectively, in the city and in the route.

The company has also suggested a robotic gearbox for this engine, but it has not received a certain distribution. By virtue of its fairly modern design, certain characteristics of the Logan are expected at a better level. In the basic version, the machine is equipped with a 5-speed mechanic, which will seriously save you money on fuel. With all its advantages, this weak engine is very difficult to name economical. In Europe, Logan is sold with power units by 0.9 and 1.2 liters, which consume up to 7 liters of gasoline in the city and up to 5 liters on the highway. While these versions did not reach Russia.

Engine Features 1.6 16V on Renault Logan

For this engine will have to pay for 20-30 thousand rubles more, given the fully identical configuration. It is also necessary to consider that there is no basic configuration with this power unit, therefore the cheapest version will cost 500,000 rubles with a small one. It is also interesting that the company does not offer automata and robot - only a manual transmission on 5 steps without alternatives. On the one hand, it is upsetting the buyer due to the lack of choice, on the other hand - gives certain advantages, because it does not have to have a long time and painfully choose the features and technical specifications of the machine. The main features of the engine 1.6 16V on Renault Logan are as follows:

• the power unit has a normal volume, there are no turbines and other artificial ways to increase potential;
• the mechanical box of 5 steps has certain advantages in the form of high quality and durability of operation;
• the engine is made and dynamic, the difference in capacity is felt, gives an aggregate 102 horsepower, which is 20 horses more than younger;
• for the track, this engine is suitable much better, even if it is not for sale with automatic gearboxes;
• fuel consumption in urban mode will be a little more than 10 liters, but here the flow rate depends on the driving habits;
• on the track, fuel consumption will fall up to 8 liters per hundred and allow you to significantly save money on the trip.

You can use the more powerful power unit for the development of Renault. But buy a car with this engine will be somewhat more expensive than a model with a junior unit. Again, the car's choice advice will be one - you should go to the test drive and look for the possibilities of a convenient trip, excellent characteristics and suitable chairs of the car. Despite the fairly high popularity of the development of Logan in Russia, Renault company does not rush to offer new engines to our buyer. I would like to see a diesel engine at 1.5 liters, as well as new gasoline aggregates with a 1.2 liter potential and a minimum consumption. Most likely, these installations will replace outdated 1.6-liter engines already in the next generation of Logan.

What if the fuel consumption of Renault Logan 1.6 increased greatly?

Many Logan owners complain that the car significantly increases fuel consumption over time. It is worth understanding that French Development engines are far from those aggregates that develops today VAZ for Russian operating conditions. If the latter are ready to transfer any fuel and take even the strongest frost with any oil, the Renault Logan 1.6 engines will require excellent service with certain intricacies and serious tracking for all the terms of the aggregates. The main factors that increase fuel consumption on Logan are as follows:

• a noticeable change in the trip of the trip - the car "gets used to" to certain behavior, he will not like the driver's mood change too much;
• an attempt to squeeze the maximum dynamics and constant accelerations in urban conditions will also lead to the fact that the unit will increase the flow;
• the engine operation is constantly at high revs contribute to a significant increase in gasoline consumption due to large loads;
• poor-quality oil failed in time or running engine malfunction - all this can lead to significant technical problems and overrun;
• the power unit is strongly overheated, which increases the consumption of fuel and the risks of the engine outlet;
• required low-quality gasoline, solid particles are present in the fuel or adversely active additives in various types.

With such features, no normal engine will work in the mode you need. Most likely, poor-quality operating conditions and lack of service and caused problems in the power unit of your car. Renault Logan is quite hardy transport, which has a number of adamant advantages. However, you can also find negative features in the operation of the car. In particular, an important feature of a 1.6 liter power unit will be highly high demand for maintenance and type of fuel. It is better to comply with the factory requirements and get the high-quality work of the power unit without problems and troubleshooting. We offer to watch quite honest and detailed test drive car Renault Logan:

Let's sum up

The Renault Logan 1.6 car is a wonderful choice among budget transport, which allows you to simply get the necessary travel conditions under the right conditions.
