Five things people love and hate about the Renault Logan. All owner reviews about Renault Logan I Noisy gearbox with short gears

The car was purchased new in February 2010, to replace a VAZ 2111 (an excellent car, in general, all the vases were not satisfactory in terms of reliability). Over the entire period, I drove 83 thousand km, there were no breakdowns at all, the only thing was that the front struts required replacement (potholes in -30 cold weather did their job). Now the car has already been sold.

Engine and gearbox: 8 valve 1.6 engine, very old, extremely reliable, gearbox too, the shifts are a bit big, but the clarity was fine. I didn’t like the clutch because it was uninformative. The gearbox is clearly designed for the city, the gears are very short, in 1st at idle it literally crawls, which is very convenient on dirt roads, when driving through potholes, etc. But on the highway there was not enough 6th gear, at 100 km per hour in 5th gear it was already 3000 rpm. The Euro-4 engine is either strangled, but it is very dull and thinks when accelerating.

Body: The paint, like all modern cars, is not very strong, there was not a drop of rust, the gaps are large, but smooth everywhere. Metal foil is bare. The sills have been thoroughly treated with anti-corrosion and anti-gravel from the factory, all the pipes under the bottom are closed and hidden.

Strengths:

• Reliability, reliability and reliability again.

Weak sides:

• Not suitable for the track.
• Tubaret, ambiguous landing.

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 16v 102l/s (Renault Logan) 2010 Part 3

Good day to everyone who is reading.

I haven’t appeared on this site for a long time and, most likely, this is the final review about my Renault Logan. I recently sold it to my son for symbolic money, because... they didn’t want to let go of such a car, which had served faithfully all these years in the harsh conditions of daily use. The son was also happy about this, because... classic 5 and Logan is a bit different cars, so he’s crazy, probably the same way I was when I bought it.

So, in order. Over the course of 4 years, two trips to Crimea totaling 6.5 and 7.8 thousand kilometers, respectively (the figures are approximate, because I don’t remember exactly) and in 2014, a forced march across Europe with a two-week vacation in Spain. In a month we traveled through 12 European countries and covered 16,000 km. During the entire trip, the car never failed, neither in traffic jams in Berlin and Paris, nor on the autobahns, nor on the mountain serpentines of Austria and Monaco. We went as a family of 4, the children were practically adults, 13 and 23 years old. We didn’t experience any particular fatigue during the trip, although if there was more space in the back, it would be more comfortable for the rear passengers. Average consumption for the trip it was 7.1l/100km with the air conditioning on. Fuel is 95 everywhere, except for France, where we had to pour 98, 95 there is 95E10 (it’s difficult to find 95 without alcohol, but it’s possible, we just didn’t come across it on the way), Belarus and Russia, where we ate regular 92. You can scold me, but subjectively I didn’t feel much difference from consuming 92 and 98 gasoline on Logan.

Strengths:

• Reliability, at least 2010 model year
• Unkillable suspension
• High comfort on primer
• No crickets
• Moderately high-torque and reliable engine

Weak sides:

Lack of noise, can float slightly in strong crosswinds on highways at speeds above 120 km/h (affected only on European autobahns)

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2008

So, Renault Logan 2008. engine 1.6 87 hp “Prestige” package (air conditioning, full power accessories, heated seats, PTF, 15-inch wheels, painted bumpers) + “Safety” package (passenger airbag + ABS).

I drove the car for 5.5 years and 90 thousand km. In the city, on the highway, through forests and fields) In fact, my first car. I learned to ride on it, became experienced driver. A machine that forgave me a lot, for which I am grateful. A true war horse, a true friend.

I will try to briefly tell you about my impressions. I’ll focus more on the shortcomings, since everyone already knows about Logan’s advantages.

Strengths:

• With relatively small external dimensions very spacious inside
• Very comfortable suspension
• The car is reliable and unpretentious
• Inexpensive non-original spare parts, including body parts, are easy to obtain
• High seating, clear steering allow you to move calmly in confined spaces and in the city

Weak sides:

• Very noisy engine (please note, we are talking about an 8-valve 1.6 engine!), with low power it is quite voracious
• Unsightly appearance and reputation as a cheap, slow car. Because of this, every gopot tries to cut in, to crawl forward, as if I would slow down the entire flow. Sometimes it was very infuriating

Review of Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2006 Part 2

Finally decided to sell this car. He is already 8 years old (almost). The mileage is currently 128,000 thousand km. Since the previous review, I have changed the thermostat 2 more times, but it still does not heat up in winter. A blanket over the engine and homemade dampers in front of the radiator save the day. I think the reason is short trips (10-30 minutes) and parking (1-3 hours).

There is rust under the gas tank cap. There is no rust at the place where the chips were on the fenders, sills and hood. I bought a kit to replace all the belts and rollers, + a pump just in case, because... Antifreeze evaporates somewhere, but not critically (50-200 grams in 0.5 years). There is no time to replace it yet. When changing the front brake pads, I also changed the rear ones at 110,000 km. I changed the summer BARUM to NOKIAN - different sensations - no aquaplaning at all and good braking performance on wet asphalt. I won’t change my winter tires yet and the old ones have more than 80% studs.

And now about the crickets: the main crickets supply the window regulators - all on fins. Either with slightly open windows or completely closed ones, the algorithm is not clear. Fuel consumption outside the city remained 6.5-7 liters per 100 km; in the city, due to short trips and long stops, 7.5-8.5-9 liters per km (no air conditioning).

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2009 Part 2

Don’t judge harshly, this is my first review! Before this car was a Russian Tazoprom... VAZ-2107, VAZ-2115. After buying the car, getting behind the wheel, I felt a significant difference between our Vases and budget foreign cars. Honestly, I didn’t think there was a difference will be so significant... I was quite skeptical about the purchase, thinking that I was buying the same car, but for a lot of money. Emphasis on o.

At the moment, the car has covered 35,500 km, when I bought it it was 18,200. During the year of operation, they changed the oil, low beam bulbs and filters... The only thing is that the previous owner changed the steering tips.. That's all for now! I stopped at a service station to see a friend whom I went to for diagnostics of the chassis on a VAZ-2115 once every six months, he looked at the car and said: how much mileage do you have? I replied that it was 35,000, his words were: Why the hell did you come, the mileage will be 60 thousand. You’ll come.

Result: Looking at people buying Russian cars, such as Kalin, Grant, Prior, I sympathize with them... Many people praise them at first, 10-15 thousand pass and all inspiration disappears... I myself was the owner of AvtoTaz and I know what it is... People who bought even budget ones foreign cars will drive our cars only if life forces us or if there are no other cars...Probably the AvtoVAZ defenders will attack now...Logan is ugly practical car for people of low income, which does not cause problems with proper maintenance..

Strengths:

• Indestructible suspension, absorbs all the potholes on Yokohama tires, worse on factory tires...
• The trunk is quite roomy compared to our cars...
• Driving comfort is close to more expensive cars (I’ll say right away, I compare it with a Ford Focus, Mazda 3). I don’t take the dynamics into account.
• Lots of space for rear passengers. Large people can fit in the back seat without jostling with their elbows...
• Combined cycle consumption is about 6 liters per 100 km.
• Price/quality ratio is 5!
• High ground clearance
• Good stove

Weak sides:

• Weak dynamics of the 1.4 engine
• The rear view is simply amazing..
• Lack of handles for passengers
• The trunk door is made inconveniently... It opens and closes poorly when the trunk is completely full..

Review of Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2006

Not a bad machine. Simple (but not primitive!!), quite reliable, moderately comfortable, well adapted to Russian conditions, maneuverable, economical, consumables are inexpensive (relatively), some repairs can be done in an open field. All units (gearbox, power steering, etc.) work reliably.

Look: “advantages”. But seriously: 1. The ambiance in the cabin is super-spartan. 2. The machine is frankly “budgetary”. 3. The suspension is a bit harsh, but this can also be considered an advantage! 4.Design barely gets a C grade.5. The engine is configured somehow... not in a European way. 6. The location of the heater control handles can only be discussed in obscenities.7. "Crickets" appeared in the 2nd or 3rd year.

Those who have owned a Zhiguli (any kind!!), take it without hesitation!!! The car is not for racing, but on the track it does not fall out of the general flow (120 km/h is easy). In short: an inexpensive family (country, picnic, barbecue, etc.) car without any special complaints, but also without any special miscalculations. I repeat once again: after the “Zhiguli” it’s a fairy tale!

Friends, good afternoon! I came to share the joys!

Before Logan, I had experience of owning vases that I don’t want to remember.

I purchased the car as a "grandfather" with low mileage, without winter operation(and tires), without music and alarm, but in very good condition.

Unprecedented hemorrhoid-free

Review of Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2012

Hello to all car enthusiasts! At first I thought that it was unclear why I would write a review on such a popular car as the Logan, but given that it was my first car, I had a desire to express my emotions. This is my first review, but please judge strictly and don’t give in! :)

Yes, it seems that I am already part of the generation that has never driven a basin, which is why my comments about this car will seem ridiculous to many. But that's how it is. I actually bought a Logan at the beginning of 2012, in the average configuration (only front electric windows and central locking are among the amenities) for 375 thousand. At first, there was simply no limit to my delight: how come, I’m driving in my car, I don’t hear the rumble of the metro train, and I also listen to my favorite music!

In the very first month I dented the wing (to the metal), and not just anywhere, but in my own garage. I sold it with this dent and, I must say, I was very surprised by the quality of the metal: not even a hint of rust appeared on the wing in a year and a half. Another thing is the threshold. In winter, somehow, through negligence, the right threshold was crushed; almost immediately, in those places where it reached the metal, it became covered with light rust.

Strengths:

• Adaptation for Russian conditions
• Suspension
• Capacity
• Invincibility
• Invisibility for the traffic police

Weak sides:

• Design
• Ergonomics
• Controllability

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2008 Part 5

Trip to Greece in August 2013.

Countries covered: Belarus, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Macedonia. On the way back: Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus.

Total according to the meter is 8300 km. 550 liters of gasoline were consumed. Average consumption is 6.7 liters per 100 km with the air conditioning almost always on. In the CIS, gasoline is 92nd, in Europe 95th. The price of gasoline in Greece is 1.7 Euro.

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2007 Part 2

So I exchanged my first hundred thousand km in 6.5 years and decided to write the 2nd part of the review, fortunately the passions around Logan have subsided. I will not compare it with specific cars, but will simply describe my impressions and results of operation in numbers.

Even when I bought it, I planned that in 3 years I would change the machine. But, firstly, circumstances have changed, and secondly, why change it if everything suits you? Well, over the years, my Logan has not lost either confidence or respect: it is still comfortable, economical, and reliable. And even the controversial appearance I really like because of its somehow masculine appearance

Convenient - this is for my family members - spacious, comfortable, roomy, passable (all in comparison with classmates and some more expensive brands). We really like the high seating position - it's comfortable to get in, ride and get out. With my sores, my back has never hurt on distances of more than 1000 km. My wife loves to sleep on the back sofa. By the way, 3 small passengers feel free there.

Review of Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2009 Part 2

Hello everyone, I have already driven more than 40,000 km and will write another review..

Engine

The engine, with the air conditioning on, if there are 4 people in the cabin, drives with great laziness... this can be felt even in the city, when you have to move off often, and if you need to drive up a mountain, you need to keep the revs. The engine is completely enough if you are driving alone in the city... on the highway it is difficult to overtake someone, it takes a lot of time!

Strengths:

• Reliability! Confidence on long trips
• Availability of spare parts in stores
• Spacious
• Fuel efficient

Weak sides:

• Unreliable electrics
• Spartan salon

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2007

I've been reading this forum for a long time and I've learned a lot useful information. At one time, your reviews helped me choose a car, I hope I will be useful to someone. I’ll say right away that this is my first car, there’s nothing special to compare it with, except maybe a little bit with the Octavia that I’m driving now. A little bit, because the class of cars is, of course, different.

Why Logan? I didn’t have much money, initially I wanted to buy a used car higher class, but since I knew the materiel, let’s say, was very unimportant, I turned away from this idea and decided to take new car, albeit a budget one. Among the inexpensive foreign cars, I liked the Renault Logan. What I liked: large trunk, ground clearance, spacious and neatly assembled interior, clear operation of keys and levers. I really liked the comfortable, elastic seats. The interior plastics are hard, but I don't see that as a drawback.

The engine was selected. 1.6 (1.4 according to reviews - well, very vegetable) Expression equipment, without air conditioning and ABS, with one airbag. From the factory there was engine protection, the only conveniences were power steering, central locking and electric front windows. It took 3 months to wait for the car, but it was even delivered a couple of weeks earlier. When the car arrived, I learned an interesting thing - the cost of the car increased by 9 thousand. I read the fine print in the contract - it turned out that the price has the right to change. It's disgusting, of course, but you can't really complain about it. Total paid 315t.r. Later, seat covers, a radio and acoustics were installed in the doors (there was “audio preparation” from the factory - wires to the radio and in the front doors). I installed it with the help of a friend, an experienced vazovod. I purchased an alarm and limit switches for the rear doors (ordered from Exist) - simple plastic plugs were installed from the factory. I installed the alarm at a service center (not the dealer) so as not to void the warranty.

Strengths:

• Reliable
• Spacious
• Not interesting to hijackers
• High ground clearance
• Simple in design - easy to repair
• Consumes 92-gasoline

Weak sides:

• Mediocre sound insulation
• Rusting
• No show off. Completely (c)

Review of Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2007

I decided to write a review about my machine.

It so happened that I finally solved my housing problem, sold my Honda, got into debt, so I chose the car based on my financial capabilities, Special attention paying attention to the reliability of the car. After renovations in the new building, there were 200 thousand rubles left on hand, which were planned to be spent on a car. And without a car, the dacha and shopping at grocery hypermarkets beckoned.

I went to the well-known automobile website, set a price limit of 220,000 rubles with the intention of bargaining up to the available amount, filtered “only foreign cars”, “only left-hand drive” and realized that for this money the choice is not very large, or ancient junk that has changed several owners or more or less recent budget foreign cars such as Logan or Chevrolet. My requirements were a minimum investment until I get back on my feet.

Strengths:

• Amazing indestructibility and reliability
• Low fuel consumption
• Spacious salon
• Spacious trunk
• Soft ride, quite tolerable dynamics, even with a 1400 engine

Weak sides:

• Appearance sucks, sucks
• The interior is just as boring, there aren't even handles for the front passengers, there's nothing to grab onto when turning.
• The seats do not fold in the back, not just 60x40, but even 100%. How inconvenient it is, especially for summer residents

But this can be said to be nit-picking, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 16v 102l/s (Renault Logan) 2010 Part 2

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2008 Part 4

Renault Logan - food for thought.

It’s been four years and 51 thousand kilometers now. Where we visited during this time: the Black Sea, Croatia - three times, Estonia - Latvia - Lithuania, Finland - many times, Belarus - many times. I am serviced by official dealer. When I was doing TO-2 and TO-3, they asked the question: Have the pads been changed recently? I haven’t changed it yet because it’s mostly driven on highways and I rarely have to brake.

The car is reliable and unpretentious. Gasoline in the CIS is 92, in Europe 95. It seems that Logan drives better on 92. When you fill up with 95 in Europe, you initially feel a slight increase in traction, but not for long. But when you fill up with 92 after Europe, you immediately feel that you are driving. Twice, and for some reason specifically in Croatia, an interesting effect was observed. About an hour after starting to move on a not very steep mountain serpentine road, the engine begins to chirp like sewing machine and is not gaining momentum. It's like there's no gas flowing. The tank is about half full of gasoline. I open the gas tank cap. You hear a good sound of the vacuum filling, and then everything becomes normal.

The choice fell clearly on Renault Logan, and his wife’s brother, with whom they later chose him, advised him. My wife’s brother himself works at the car market, these are already details :-), We chose it exclusively in dark gray color (almost black), I wouldn’t drive anything else on principle. We find the 2008 model, mileage 21,000 km. PTF, air conditioning, engine 1.6l.87l.s. Winter tires, the owner says that it is not broken, not painted. My brother takes out a device that determines the thickness of the coating, we check - everything is confirmed, we look under the hood and exactly two oil changes according to the marks. Everything is fine, let's take it! First impressions are great! The suspension is excellent, the engine is revving, the interior is spacious and what a room to boot, the heater heats up to 5+, the interior warms up in one fell swoop, the windows don’t sweat in the winter. Hydrach, hurray! My wife is happy, I'm happy.

Strengths:

• Suspension
• Clearance
• Prices for parts
• Stove
• Trunk

Weak sides:

• Design - treated by installing alloy wheels
• Shumka - treated with sizing

Review of Renault Logan (Renault Logan) 2011

Greetings to all car enthusiasts and site visitors. Now is the time to express my personal opinion about my Renault Logan 2011 with a 1.6 engine. I won’t talk much about the agony of choice. I sold my VAZ 2114 2004. I took out a loan from a bank, the amount was large for me - 300 wooden ones, plus the proceeds from the sale of Vazik. Total 450 thousand, plus 20 thousand could be added by relatives. The city is small, the salaries are low, the roads are ruined (at the moment they have been faked). For a family of 4, two adults and two children, we needed a strong, reliable car drive mainly around the city and rarely on the highway. The choice is huge, for that amount you could get a bunch of options (mostly used and a few options from new cars). Of the VAZs, I only considered the Kalina. After weighing all the pros and cons, I decided to buy a one-year-old Renault Logan. I regretted spending money on a new car, since the price tag of a new car is currently 450 thousand, and the wait is 3 months. I’m very glad that I didn’t take a new one, but took a little used one. Logan’s appearance suited me quite well, but only phase 2. I found an ad and called him. I came to look.

The car was ideal, not smoked, not blown, not damaged 100% (looked at with specialists), mileage 11,900, under warranty. It was sold by some colonel of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. According to him, he bought the car for his son, but he didn’t drive, saying his son didn’t like the car... “Buy me another one, dad.” But there was one thing on his part: he had to wait another week. Well, I think it’s a shame, this polkan is kind of muddy. “I won’t sell it right away,” he says, “Wait a week.” What kind of troubles he had, I still don’t understand. Before that, he mentioned to me that he has a second car like this, the same color, the same numbers, but the year is 2010. Then I thought, no matter what happens, someone will sell me credit car. Having called the car dealership where these cars were purchased, they provided me with information that the 2010 car is pledged to the bank, and the bank is handing over the title. And the second car is 2011. (my future) was purchased for cash. Thanks, of course, to the car dealership that provided me with the VIN codes for the bodies of these cars; you never know what could happen. The fears were in vain. But it's better to be safe. A week later the colonel called and said come and pick it up.

So I am the owner of a Renault of our production. I didn’t expect anything so foreign from Logan, since I read and watched a lot about it. For some reason there were no emotions after the purchase. The feeling of the car that I had before. The doors open a little hard (almost new). Both the rear and front ones close normally - with the same force. Many people complain about the rear doors that they don’t close well. When the doors are closed, there is a slight ringing throughout the body, since there are no sound insulation materials in the logon. Just on engine compartment incomprehensible garbage and polystyrene foam. Landing for driver's seat high, like in a mini jeep (after the vase). I am comfortable. Excellent visibility forward and to the sides thanks to high roof. Rear visibility is poor. Especially parking in reverse, the high rear and rounded shapes of the rear fenders tend to break the rear bumper. In the future I will install parking sensors, but now I try not to drive there and open the door to control the parking process.

Strengths:

• Quite a pleasant car to drive, especially on uneven roads.
• Spacious
• Reliable
• Spacious trunk - 8 bags of potatoes, 4 small tomato boxes and 2 buckets of apples

Weak sides:

• Speeding up too smoothly
• Not a very good noise
• Door seal squeaks
• No rear door handles
• No transformation possible backrest seats (Sandero rules)

Renault Logan- a car that has many obvious advantages and is used by millions of people around the world. But despite all the impeccability, Logan has some weak points. These shortcomings and problematic components arise mainly due to the use of inexpensive materials when assembling the car. Basic problem areas Let's look at the infographics.

• Sticking gas pedal at sub-zero temperatures. In cold weather, the pedal cable braid becomes deformed and can cause the cable to get stuck. In winter, it is necessary to lubricate the cable with machine frost-resistant oil.
• Engine trouble and malfunctions. It occurs after 10-15 thousand kilometers if you systematically fill in poor quality fuel.
• Rapid wear camshaft oil seal.
• The pump may fail after 30-40 thousand of the distance traveled.

• During operation, windshield wipers quickly wear out and a strong squeak appears. Needs replacement.
• Poor quality of painting. Chips and scratches can appear quite quickly.
• The front door stops are not tightened and are unscrewing.

• Wheel bearings rarely survive longer than 30 thousand kilometers due to lack of lubrication in the front wheel bearings.
• At a mileage of 10-15 thousand, shock absorbers fail.

Transmission

• Crunching noise when turned on reverse gear- due to design feature(reverse gear synchronizer missing).

• The upper mounts of the headlights crack even on bad roads.
• The front fog lights fall out due to vibration.

Brake system

• Creaking and further failure of the rear brake force distributor. It starts with a mileage of 10 thousand km and requires lubrication every 10 thousand.
• Uneven wear of the front brake pads.

Inaccurate information - I drove 40,000 km in Logan, the weak point is the crankshaft seal, front, rear, left inner drive boot. Bearings with a mileage of 73,000 are still good, I also don’t agree with the rest.

Outdated stereotypes, 90% of information is not true

Logan 2010 mileage 41000 km. I've owned it for 5 years. Great car. no breakdowns, no repairs

There were never such problems in phase 1; it started in phase 2, when the power cables were shortened by a few millimeters.

I can’t say that everything is as it is, I will only agree with the coloring and add the steering tips.

Breaking the wiring of the horn button on the left steering column switch is a common failure. And not only not in Logan, but also in other Renaults where the same unit is found.

Thanks for the idea about strong points, it's worth thinking about.

Phase 1 2008, mileage 85k, all rubber bands were changed at 70k (bushings, struts, rubber blocks) as well as brake discs. We welded the muffler, it rotted (it rotted even faster than the breakdown) Where are the statistics of strong points? Like the shock absorbers last more than a hundred, there are no problems with the engine at the 92nd gas station for 7 years, that the battery is still there from the factory even in cold weather at minus 38 without warming up it started the first time

Logan 1.6 16th grade 2011. From repairs, not counting scheduled maintenance, replacement of front brake discs every 80 thousand. mileage, 120 thousand. replacement of steering rods and front wheel bearings, 140 thousand. Resonator replacement, 160 thousand. replacement of ball joints and rear pads. 200 thousand I replace silent blocks and shock absorbers, wiring in the sound signal sensor every 40 thousand. I'm traveling around Moscow.

Thank you, Pavel, for sharing your breakdowns with us and with all Logan owners. More than one Logan breeder will probably take note of such remarks.

Renault Logan 2008, engine 1.4 - 8 cells. Mileage for 2014 - 121 thousand. I don’t consider this a breakdown, but my foglights cracked after 3 months, one after another.

I didn’t even change it under warranty - I just turned it off. At 45 thousand, the windshield cracked, and it cracked not from a stone hitting it, but from under the left wiper - a crack appeared. Well, light bulbs burn out everywhere and always. Yes, the gas pedal began to sink after about half a year, I was terribly scared))). And the first serious breakdown happened at 75 thousand, the timing belt broke. Result - the valves are bent - Repair - 16 thousand. And so it’s normal. The suspension is excellent, the consumables for oils and filters are very small, and I change everything myself. I forgot. At the moment, almost all the backlighting of the front panel buttons has burned out - only the backlight of the right window lifter remains, the rest does not light up, but replacing all these buttons is quite expensive. So I don’t see the point in changing it. Good car. Anything is better than our Vedro-Vaz.

Renault Logan 2011 engine. 1.6 8 cells Mileage 81,000 km. First breakdown 31,000 km. The signal button stopped working - replacement under the steering switch under warranty. Second breakdown 60,000 km. The signal stopped working again. I didn’t change anything, I removed it, re-soldered it, and removed the factory defect with a soldering iron, melted the groove for the wire inside and I think it won’t break anymore. Third breakdown 75,000 km. The thermostat began to open earlier, the car did not warm up to operating temperature, 3-4 bars did not light up, I replaced it myself in 15-20 minutes. I changed the belts at 80,000 from the officials, I didn’t see the point in 60,000, they looked better than new ones. Door locks creaked on potholes, which can be fixed by installing silent locks or simply using electrical tape. The throttle cable can jam in severe frosts; you can feel that the pedal is being pressed in small “steps”, but it does not hang back. I replaced the fog lights, took phase 1, H8 lamp from Logan, I don’t want to spend money on original psx 24w lamps, but they don’t shine well. I don't understand how they could fall out. There is a crunch in the rear gear when you turn it on suddenly, you need to pause for 2-3 seconds after releasing the clutch and there will be no crackling noise. I didn’t change or repair anything, the brake strut, etc. Generally reliable car, it doesn’t have that many weak points, at least in my case.

The information was selected based on reviews and comments from logan owners on thematic forums, blogs and websites. No one came up with anything out of the blue; all of the above diseases manifested themselves in one car owner or another (of course, not in one car at a time).

Sticking of the gas pedal in sub-zero temperatures happens, but rarely once a winter at -35. I didn’t notice the engine tripping on gasoline on gas when cold engine There is. The rapid wear of the camshaft oil seal did not change the mileage of 107 thousand. The pump may fail already at 30-40, I didn’t change anything. During operation, windshield wipers wear out quickly - depending on the climate and frequency of use. Poor quality of painting. Chips and scratches can appear quite quickly - this is not a disadvantage, it also depends on where the car is driven. The front door stops are not tightened and are unscrewed, mileage 107 thousand, everything is in place. Wheel bearings rarely last longer than 30 thousand km; I changed them to 107 along with the brake drums on the handbrake)))). At a mileage of 10-15 thousand, shock absorbers fail. also depends on the quality of our roads, if there is a hole in the hole and a hole drives everything possible, the front struts were changed twice for 60 and 107 rear struts 1 time for 100 thousand Crunch when engaging reverse gear - due to a design feature (there is no reverse gear synchronizer) there is such a thing, but for me doesn't interfere. The upper mounts of the headlights crack even on bad roads. The front fog lights fall out due to vibration. Where does this data come from? Creaking and further failure of the rear brake force distributor. It starts with a mileage of 10 thousand km and requires lubrication every 10 thousand. Uneven wear of the front brake pads. It’s also not clear where such data comes from.?

I would like comments from Logan owners on malfunctions during operation

Look interesting video on this topic

Today you can buy a used Logan from 2004-2006 at a price starting from 140,000 rubles. Moreover, it will not necessarily be “junk” on wheels with a smoking engine and a rotten body - on the market you can easily find a quite decent copy in good appearance and technical condition. When purchasing a sedan second-hand, the first thing to look at is the body.

Weak points on the Renault Logan are the edge of the windshield, sills, wheel arches and the cut of the trunk lid under rear window. The paint peels off most quickly from the bottom of the rear wheel arches where they meet the sills. This paint defect occurred even on fresh copies. The manufacturer took note of the low corrosion resistance of Logans in Russian conditions and corrected this defect, so cars younger than 2008 no longer suffer from this disease. It should also be noted that body hardware is inexpensive. For example, the original hood and bumper are valued at 11,000, and dealers ask 5,000 rubles for the wing and headlight unit. By the way, non-original ones can be purchased at half the price.

True, the availability of a car has a second side to the coin. Owners of French sedans will have to put up with cheap finishing materials and mediocre ergonomics - the steering column is adjustable only in height, the horn button is located at the end of the steering column lever, and the gas tank cap is opened with a key. In addition, the driver's seat moves up and down only in expensive sedan versions. The initial configurations of the model are characterized by extremely sparse equipment. For example, the basic version of the car did not even have a stabilizer lateral stability and power steering.

Renault Logan was initially equipped with two petrol fours with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters, producing 75 and 87 hp, respectively. After restyling in 2010, Logan began to be equipped with a 16-valve version of the 1.6-liter engine, which began to produce 102 hp. The motors were installed on many models of the French concern, so they are well studied by servicemen. The engines are generally reliable, although they have their own inherent problems. The front distributor and distributor oil seals begin to leak quite quickly. crankshafts. The parts cost pennies, but the work to replace them will cost 2,500 rubles. Every 60,000 km, the timing belt must be renewed (from 4,500 rubles including work), and at the same time drive belt(2500 rubles) and water pump(from 2000 rubles), which rarely last longer. Position sensors are prone to failure crankshaft And idle move, which cost 2500 rubles. Coils (from 1,500 rubles) and spark plugs often fail. notice, that attachments French engines are very afraid of moisture, so it is recommended to wash the engine only at branded technical centers, which guarantee that after applying water, the car will leave the wash under its own power. And further. It is better to service and repair engines at specialized service stations, where there are special tools and mechanics familiar with Renault equipment. The fact is that the design of these engines is quite specific - for example, cylinder counting starts from the flywheel, and there are no marks on the crankshaft pulley and block for setting the valve timing.

Mechanical five-speed gearboxes will outlive the engine if the oil in them is changed at least once every 60,000-80,000 km. Although the manufacturer assures that it is filled for its entire service life. Over time, the gearbox lever rocker becomes loose. It can be treated by replacing the bushings by installing a repair kit for 2000 rubles. We must remember that the reverse gear is not equipped with synchronizers, so it should only be engaged when the car is completely stopped and the clutch pedal is depressed all the way. But with the automatic four-speed gearbox there are much more problems. Even with proper operation, it can withstand a maximum of 150,000 km, despite the fact that the box recent years ten have been modernized several times. The valve body (from 32,000 rubles) can fail before hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Periodically, you need to check the oil level in the automatic transmission and change it at least once every 60,000 km. Insufficient oil pressure in the box can cause the clutch pack to fail. The only consolation is that the automatic transmission is relatively inexpensive to repair. Its overhaul is estimated at 60,000–90,000 rubles.

A lot of flattering words have been said about the energy intensity of the Logan suspension. The chassis swallows small irregularities and potholes without noticing, and in deep holes only slightly shaking the riders. True, abuse of the omnivorous nature of the suspension directly affects its durability - by the way, it is not particularly durable anyway. For example, stabilizer struts and bushings can withstand an average of 20,000 km, although they are inexpensive. At the 50th thousand mileage, the original shock absorbers (3,500 rubles each) and ball shock absorbers are usually returned. Wheel bearings (4,000 rubles each) and support bearings (1,800 rubles each) withstand even less. In the steering system, consumables are considered to be rod ends (1,900 rubles each). But in the rear suspension with a semi-independent beam, apart from the wear of silent blocks and shock absorbers, there is nothing special to break.

Also annoying are the frequently burned-out low beam, side and brake lights, poor interior ventilation and sound insulation. It is better to immediately replace the original windshield wiper blades, which after 5000–8000 km begin to smear dirt on the glass, with a part from another manufacturer.

Reviews

The pros and cons of Renault Logan 2018-2019 in a new body were identified based on reviews real owners. More detailed advantages and Renault disadvantages Logan 1.6 (82, 102 and 113 hp) with automatic and manual can be found in the stories below.

My car is already 1.2 years old, so we can already draw preliminary conclusions. For me, the main criterion when choosing was reliability, and my car so far fully meets my expectations.

In general, there are no complaints about the car. Not fuel voracious. Yes, there are horse races idle speed, but this is not critical. The mileage has now exceeded 15,000 km, it has undergone maintenance, which cost 5,300 rubles.

The car is quite playful. Short passes were annoying at first, but then I got used to it. You need to switch from 1 to 2 immediately and immediately to 3, the third is quite elastic, you can turn the engine in a wide range, go through intersections, and also overcome small bumps in the form of speed bumps, but on the highway 5th gear is not enough. It goes quickly along the highway, 140 is not the limit for it (I didn’t accelerate it anymore).

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 on mechanics 2016

Video review

Excellent suspension. Working in a taxi 6 days a week for 10-11 hours, I couldn’t be happier with the car’s endurance. Excellent ergonomics, very comfortable seating for passengers, doors open sufficiently. All passengers feel comfortable; those in the rear do not have their legs resting on the front seats. Huge trunk. During 2 years of such operation I changed 2 ball joints and 4 steering tips - nothing else broke in it. Multi-purpose vehicle. The price-quality ratio matches!

Evgeny Rudin, review of Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) manual transmission 2014

There were glitches with the electronics a couple of times. Once serious. The car just wouldn't move, it caught fire ABS light bulb. Stopped, turned it off, started it again. The car drove off, the light was still on. Stopped again. The light stopped burning. I checked the ABS and it works. Some kind of miracle. I still don’t understand what happened.

In general, I’ll start with the shortcomings; determine the degree of criticality yourself.

1) Russian assembly. The hands of Tolyatti pickers “grow out of their ass” - that’s a fact. P
2) Short first gear (many people complain about the first 4 short gears). Literally just get moving. The car starts calmly from the second.
3) The standard audio system does not handle bass. Not at all.
4) The armrest really interferes with working with the handbrake at first. Then you get used to it.
5) In dirty weather, the trunk is completely covered in dirt, and it is almost impossible to open it without getting your hands dirty.
6) The reverse gear sticks in very poorly. You have to depress the clutch again and turn it on. This is an ongoing problem.
7) Until you get used to the gearbox, there is a risk of accidentally engaging the rear gear when switching from 5th to 4th.
8) Although all the brochures and sweet lips of the dealer spoke about improved sound insulation, this is only true for summer conditions at speeds up to 100 km/h. The engine can already be clearly heard from above. And in winter, the noise from the studded tires in the cabin when driving on asphalt can be heard even at low speeds.
9) You often have to turn the starter for a long time to start the car. The reason is unknown to me.
10) Despite the impressive volume of the trunk, the luggage arches are very annoying. Also, when folding the rear seats, a huge step is formed, which greatly reduces the usable volume. When folding the rear seats, the maximum length of transported cargo is only 1.80 - 1.90 m. I expected more.
11) In severe frosts, the car begins to consume gasoline, even on the highway. In addition, plastic begins to creak, all over the cabin.
12) The situation with the heating of the windshield is not very clear. It turns on only with maximum airflow windshield. What if it’s minus 30 outside? That’s why I always warm up the car for a couple of minutes first, and then just turn on the windshield heating.
13) Airflow modes (“head-on”, “self-directed”, “legged”) do not work well together. The “pull” mode takes the lion’s share of the flow, giving virtually no air flow to the windshield or under your feet. You have to drive with the “head-on” + “underfoot” mode. So even more or less.
14) In severe frosts, the interior does not warm up very well on the highway. In addition, the interior cools down very quickly if you turn off the heater (even in mild frosts).
15) Very noisy stove. Tolerable until the 3rd, maximum until the 4th division. What happens next is just a nightmare. The sound of a jet plane. And since heating the windshield is only available with maximum airflow, this creates additional problems when, for example, the windshield needs to be warmed up while driving.
16) The vibration of the gear lever is almost like on my former 2114. To be honest, this fact surprised me unpleasantly.
17) The space under the rear window, hidden by the trunk lid, is a garbage container in the summer and a place for ice to form in the winter.
18) Narrow front mudguards do not protect the body from dirt flying from under the front wheels. The front doors leave very clear marks in dirty weather.
19) The bortovik shows only one reading! Although the display allows you to accommodate much more. And no engine temperature. Only indication of excess.
20) The windage of the car is above average. At high speeds and strong winds you have to constantly taxi.
21) The driver’s door doesn’t close well (I’m not the only one with this problem).

Now, naturally, about the merits of Logan 2.

1) Suspension. Indestructible, quite comfortable.
2) Climate. Very good, although single-zone.
3) Cruise. On the highway only with him.
4) Heated front windshield and mirrors. Despite the drawback with the heated windshield, it is still a very big plus for any car.
5) Personally, I’m very satisfied side mirrors, set it up so that there is practically no blind spot.
6) Good optics. Both neighbor and high beam perform their functions well.
7) Daytime running lights. Very comfortably.
8) The seating position is very high for a sedan. The car really looks significantly higher than its budget and other counterparts.

Review of Renault Logan 82 hp with mechanics 2016.

Where can I buy?

New Renault Logan 2017 took in April. I didn’t write a review right away in order to test it well. During April-July the car traveled 20,00 km. I would like to point out the advantages:

1. The suspension is soft, holds the road, simple and reliable
2. Huge trunk!
3. There is enough interior space for a family of 5 people, not cramped

Disadvantages (cons) of Renault Logan 2:

1. Fragile windshield. In three months, three small pebbles flew in. And three cracks at once! This is the first time I've seen this
2. Quiet sound radio, the microphone is very weak - you can’t communicate normally via bluetooth, although there is such an option.
3. Factory autostart is complete garbage. To start the engine, you need to see the car and be very close to it. So it’s better to set autorun yourself.

Something else I’ll note. The engine is a new 1.6 liter chain motor with 113 hp. I took it exactly because... chain is more reliable than timing belt. For the city the engine proved to be ideal. Fast acceleration, you drive confidently in traffic. The only negative is the short passes.

On the highway the picture is different. After 70 km/h the car accelerates very slowly, every 10 km is a real victory! I know that many people are interested in revolutions at various speeds. I have so:

90 km/h - 2,500, consumption 5 liters.
100 km/h - 2,900, consumption 6.5 liters.
110 km/h - 3,500, consumption 8 l.
150 km/h - 4400, consumption 11.5 liters.

I specifically wrote about 150 km/h. I often travel on the highways, the car is moving ok, no noise. But it’s difficult to accelerate it to 150; it picks up speed very slowly.

Easy to manage. There is practically no noise. I think it's spacious. But the metal of the car is “liquid”. In cold weather, the driver's door seal does not hold. In motion comes cold air. The car has covered 16,000 km and is knocking. rear suspension. The knocking noise is most noticeable on potholes. Apparently the assembly of the car by specialists in Russia is having an effect...

Alexander Titov, drives a Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) automatic 2013

Good sound insulation. Smart, non-blunting automatic transmission. Wonderful climate. The car corresponds to the price today. But at the same time a small rearview mirror and high consumption fuel 12 l. Not comfortable jet mudguards. The automatic transmission does not have a heated windshield, only airflow.

Margarita Utkina, review of Renault Logan 1.6 (102 hp) AT 2015

In principle, the car is not bad, the cross-country ability is impressive! There are very serious disadvantages regarding the front side windows: if you lower them halfway side glass and close the doors, there is a feeling that it will fly out, that is, it dangles, you can go and demonstrate this in car showrooms.

The thresholds are wide and not protected from dust, i.e. There is always dust present (dust collector). I’m also not happy with the windshield wipers, they’re rough, there’s a lot of noise, there’s a scratch on the windshield, when driving in wet snow they just freeze and even heating the windshield with steam doesn’t help...

Nurlan Arykov, review of Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) 2014

A car for a smooth, measured ride. At an intersection, when starting at a green traffic light, the car lags behind the others. Fuel consumption for an 82 hp engine is high, in the city it’s more than 10 liters, on the highway - 6 liters. You can hear the street in the cabin at a speed of 100 km/h, and the sound insulation leaves much to be desired.

Alexander Petrov, drives a Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) MT 2014

Beautiful Renault sedan Logan was originally created for developing countries. That is, for those people who do not need an expensive car, but at the same time they require a technologically advanced car with modern appearance. In principle, Renault completed the task. Logan is not a very expensive car, but it ticks all the boxes modern car. However, there were many shortcomings when creating the machine. Now, the 1st generation Renault Logan, although it fulfills all the requirements in its price segment, however, has a number of unpleasant disadvantages.

Weaknesses of Renault Logan 2004-2015 release

• Gas pedal;
• Crunch in the gearbox;
• Wheel bearings;
• Brake force distributor;
• Wipers and paintwork;
• Headlight mounts.

When choosing any car, you should immediately pay attention to the engine. Engine volume is in the range of 1.4-1.6 liters. Power from 75 to 113 Horse power. For such a price, the characteristics are at a high level, but there are obvious shortcomings.

Because of low temperatures the gas pedal gets stuck. Tip: this can be avoided by lubricating the pedal cable with a frost-resistant product in winter. machine oil. If the owner constantly fills with low-quality fuel, malfunctions will begin after 10,000 kilometers. For cars with mileage of 30-40,000 km. there is a high probability of pump failure.

Transmission

When you engage reverse gear, a crunching sound is heard; initially it will be difficult to identify exactly where the crunching is. This is due to the lack of a reverse gear synchronizer.

It is quite weak; shock absorbers can fail after a mileage of 10-15,000 km. Wheel bearings often do not even last up to 30 thousand km. mileage

Brake system

Front brake pads Every car begins to wear out over time, but in Renault Logan this happens unevenly. After 10,000 km, the rear brake force distributor creaks. In the future, they may refuse completely. To maintain their shape, they must be constantly lubricated every 10 thousand km.

Windshield wipers will need to be changed frequently. They wear out quickly, and a strong creaking indicates a problem with them. The paint quality is not good top level. After a while, you will immediately notice small scratches on the body.

The top mounts of the headlights begin to crack due to bad roads. This car is suitable for the “ideal” city, so you should be careful with operation. Vibration can cause the front fog lights to fall out.

Reviews from car owners only confirm the above weak sides Renault Logan 2004-2015. Please keep these issues in mind when purchasing.

The main disadvantages of Renault Logan 1st generation

• At first, the handles in the form of “notches” will cause discomfort to the owner.
• Trunk. There is a small protrusion in the trunk, so when loading any cargo, it will be scratched. An additional disadvantage in the trunk are hinges, plugs and wires. If you accidentally catch them, they will come off.
• Glovebox. The producers spared space for him. It is sorely insufficient for use. The torpedo has a rounded shape, it is impossible to put things on it.
• Oil filter. If you take it off, there is a high chance of burning your hand. You can avoid this by removing the manifold, but you will have to make an effort and spend a lot of time.
• Creak. Almost everything in the cabin creaks. No matter how the driver or passengers turn, no matter how it opens, it all creaks.
• Power steering reservoir. Quite loosely attached. In addition, it also holds a radiator. It constantly gets out, which brings discomfort to the car owner.
• The doors were sealed. If the door seals are in winter time do not remove the snow, it begins to gradually penetrate into the cabin. This problem is not so terrible, but it can cause a lot of discomfort to the driver.
• Small mirrors in the car. A small minus, because there is a special package with fairly large mirrors.
• Cabin filter. Replacing it causes a lot of difficulties. They change it rarely and quickly, but in this car it can take a whole day. If you don’t want to waste time, you can simply use the services of specialists at any car service center.
• There is no light in the trunk. The disadvantage is minor, but it causes discomfort in some situations.
• The fuses can only be reached by opening the driver's door. Any car rusts and deforms over time, so when you open this door in rainy weather, water can get into the fuse. This will lead to serious consequences.
• Accelerates slowly. The reason is poor aerodynamics.
• The manufacturer did not think through the location of the wipers. The glass gets wet, the driver turns on the wipers, and only some of the “tears” are wiped away. This is very annoying and prevents you from concentrating on the road.

For most motorists, these shortcomings are considered unacceptable in the modern world. Don't forget that the price of Renault Logan is low, and the sore spots are not so fatal. When reviewing any car, you should consider all the pros and cons, and the first Logans have significantly more of them.

Pros and benefits of Renault Logan

• The doors are very high and wide. It is very comfortable.
• Despite the fact that the car is not very expensive, the seats are modern and very comfortable. The seating position is comfortable, the quality of the upholstery is excellent, and sitting on these seats is simply very pleasant.
• The car is well prepared for cold weather. The stove in the car perfectly heats the interior and uses a minimum of resources. The stove in the car is modern and designed in such a way that it heats the temperature inside the cabin evenly.
• Renault Logan has a very high seating position. Thanks to the high ground clearance, the the car will pass in places where some crossovers are simply powerless.
• The suspension is ideal for domestic roads and driving conditions, because it is simply “Indestructible” (But you shouldn’t take this literally). Even high mileage is not an indication that the suspension has become worn out.
• Time-tested engines. They are very reliable and rarely require repairs. In addition, the engine in the Renault Logan is omnivorous and can drive an A-92, A-95 or A-98. In addition, consumption in mixed mode is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers.
• The gas tank box is locked with a key. Many cars of the same class are limited to a regular traffic jam. This is a very good advantage if the owner always leaves the car on the street. He can rest assured that hooligans will not steal his fuel.
• The car is very cheap. This applies not only to the price itself new car, and also services. The owner of the car will not need a lot of money even for major renovation. In addition, Renault Logan is very easy to maintain, so many parts can be replaced or replaced by yourself. In addition, it is not only inexpensive, but also reliable.
• The car's engine is ideal for the harsh Russian winter. Even after several years of operation, it will start without problems at a temperature of minus 35 degrees.
• If you have turned off the car and are about to get out of it, but have not turned off the headlights, the car will inform you about this using a sound signal that is given by the “Brain” of the car. The system is able to determine whether you turned off the headlights or not and give a signal if this was not done.
• Renault engineers did an excellent job of protecting the engine crankcase and other components. Considering the state of domestic roads, this enhanced protection eliminates the risk of engine damage.

Conclusion.

The car has many advantages. However, vulnerabilities Renault Logan is quite substantial. Not fully thought out design of the body and interior, shortcomings with the trunk, undeveloped aerodynamics and much more. This all spoils the overall picture. Be that as it may, the advantages in the car are much more significant. Thereby, new Renault Logan is very popular on domestic market and is actively sold out in car dealerships. Many owners say that the car is peculiar and “Unusual”, but this is tolerable. Considering the price segment, such minor shortcomings can simply be written off. In addition, many of the disadvantages in the car can be easily corrected on your own.

P.S.: We will be grateful if you describe the main disadvantages and frequent breakdowns of your car of this brand, identified during operation.
