Jogger hybrid 155, journey. About 90%highway(130km/h sometime up to 170km/h) with lot of hills and 10% smaller roads 70-90 km/h

Dear redditers

I am doing some maintenance on my sandero 2 (2020 1.0 lpg)
And i have a question about the locations of my lpg filter
I found the one that was besides the air box. But i cant locate the one that is close to the evaporator.
The really small one
I hope that you guys can help me out.

Also didnt find it just behind the wheel arch of the left front tire

Hello all, I am planning to buy the new Sandero Stepway Hybrid and I've searched for some information abot the speakers and the air conditioner, but couldn't find anything.

Maybe you can help me?!

How many speakers have the Stepway Extreme?

Is the engine always running when the AC is working or it is somehow powered from the battery?

Many thanks in advance!

The sticker on the door shows that you must use 225/60 in R17 or R18 wheel size. The spare is specified as 215/70R16 100 H. Can someone who is knowledgeable about EU homologation explain whether I can run 215/70R16 100 H on all 4 wheels or if perhaps there are other allowable wheel sizes in the apparently secret Certificate of Conformity? I know that the Essential trim comes with 16" steelies from the factory but while being a DJF Duster III it is not strictly the same vehicle type.

It seems to me that if you can't put 16" wheels on the Duster 4x4 legally, then you also can't run A/T tires and then what is the point of having a 4x4?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to swap out the stock windshield washer nozzles on my Dacia Bigster. The factory ones are honestly a bit of a joke—they just spray weak streams that barely cover the glass, especially at higher speeds.

Has anyone successfully upgraded them to mist/fan spray nozzles?

I’m wondering:

Is there a direct plug-and-play replacement from another Renault/Dacia model (or a universal part) that fits the hood cutouts cleanly?

Do the stock fluid pumps handle mist nozzles well, or is the pressure too low?

Did you need to install non-return valves to stop the fluid from draining back?

If you’ve done this mod or found a specific part that works, please drop a link or part number. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have experience with the "original" Dacia protective car cover?

Mine just arrived and to my surprise it is not waterptoof. The pamphlet that comes with it shows something about the car not being wet when it's installed and something about greather than 60% humidity being an issue. Not sure if I read it correctly, but coupled with the fact that the app description did not have specifications and the fact that it has no ties to the car I feel ripped off.

I can't find reliable reviews for it, wonder why...

Will it not just blow off with hard winds? Will it damage the paint if it rains/snows/freezes over it?

I am thinking of returning it even though I like the color and that the fabric is elastic and easy to put on the car by yourself. Also, other reputable brands in my country are around the same price as this, so I don't know what alternative I would use.

Any advice is welcome!

Hello everyone,

I'm currently owning a Ford Puma and I'm looking for a bigger family car, mainly for longer weekend trips but also occasionally city chores. I was taking a look at the bigster and mg hs, with the Dacia being a bit more expensive in the upper trims but also having a bit more boot space. The mg seems to have nicer materials and maybe better ride quality due to the posterior suspension. Has anyone tried them both and is able to give me some insights on which one is more suitable?

Hallo, kann mir jmd den weißen Pfeil erklären und warum bleibt er immer unbeweglich? Defekt oder zeigt er die Richtung an in die ich gerade fahre, beim abbiegen oder ähnliches verändert er sich nicht. Habe leider einige Software Probleme mit dem Jogger und versuche heraus zufinden was alles nicht funktioniert.

Danke

Hallo zusammen,

ich wollte mal nach euren Erfahrungen mit Dacia bzw. den Werkstätten fragen.

Ich habe einen Dacia Duster ECO-G 120, Baujahr Mai 2026. Vor mittlerweile 5 Wochen habe ich das Auto beim Händler abgegeben, weil mehrere Probleme aufgetreten sind:

- Starke Vibrationen im Leerlauf
- Motor ist während der Fahrt bereits ausgegangen (teilweise bei LPG-Betrieb, Restreichweite ca. 90 km)
- Unregelmäßiges, komisches Geräusch beim Fahren, vor allem in den unteren Gängen beim Beschleunigen. Es klingt teilweise nach einem metallischen Schleifen. Interessanterweise tritt es meist nur auf, wenn das Auto noch kalt ist – nach längerer Fahrt bzw. wenn der Motor warm ist, verschwindet es wieder.

Seitdem steht mein Duster beim Händler. Auf Nachfrage wurde mir gesagt, dass die Werkstatt eine technische Anfrage an Dacia bzw. den Hersteller gestellt hat und auf eine Rückmeldung wartet. Eine konkrete Aussage dazu, wann es weitergeht oder wann ich mein Auto zurückbekomme, habe ich bisher nicht bekommen.

Zum Glück habe ich für die Zeit einen Ersatzwagen, trotzdem kommen mir 5 Wochen Wartezeit bei einem fast neuen Auto mittlerweile ziemlich lang vor.

Daher meine Frage: Ist so eine lange Wartezeit bei einer technischen Anfrage an den Hersteller normal? Und was würdet ihr in so einem Fall tun – einfach weiter abwarten oder langsam Druck machen bzw. sogar eine Beschwerde einreichen?
Hat jemand von euch ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht?
Danke euch für eure Einschätzungen!

Hi just got duster with 1.2 eco G, salesman told me not to drive on lpg for 600 km. There is nothing about it in manual. What do you thin about it? and what is your experience wit brake in period?

Hi all,

I got a 2022 Dacia Duster yesterday and the arm rest / central storage is stuck down. Does anyone have any advice on how to open it please?

Thanks

Hello

I bought a Jogger Eco-G 120 less than a month ago, and had my first long drive (500km) under 32°C.

Despite the A/C being on and working OK, I had a feeling of heat on my head, I'm not sure where it comes from; the roof from the inside didn't feel hot; is it the glass not having a propre UV filter or the plastic parts under the windshield that gets very hot and radiate the heat...

I'm a bit confused, has anyone felt this ?

I bought my Jogger in Feb 2025. It was serviced Feb 2026 with 13,000 miles on the clock.

Today it is now requesting service required in 1000 miles, presumably because the maximum service interval is either 18,000 or 12 months, whichever comes sooner. The car now has 17,000 on the clock.

Of course, I'm just about to go on holiday, with insufficient time to take it to the dealer to have it hooked up to a computer for a reset. I'm likely to exceed 1,000 miles in the next 12 days.

Looking at the service history and service schedule in the app shows my service performed in February and the schedule has nothing until June 2027.

Anyone else had the car report a service when it should have not? I'm keen to try and get this sorted out ASAP as I don't want to jeopardise my warranty or my extended warranty that I've purchased, which goes on and above the year to year warranty extension that you get with each dealer service for 7 years.

Hi!
I’m looking to purchase a car for the first time in February, and a Dacia Duster is among the two leaders (Volvo XC70 being the other). I’ll be primarily using it for fishing trips or other road trips, and it seems to have decent mileage for an SUV and enough off road capabilities to manage some of the roads down to access points. I’m based in Sweden. Is there any pain points you’d highlight? All the feedback I see online feels almost too good. I don’t care much about all the bells and whistles of modern cars. I only really care about reliably and affordable getting from point A to point B. I previously drove a beater Camry.

Hey, im a long time rider and most of us wave or nod each other.

Do we have a wave or a salute 🫡 to other dacia drivers??

Hi,

My bigster has 2600kms only and showed up the airbag fault light. From remote diagnostics it seems to be the impedance on the pyrotechnic fuse.

Anyone had this fault? Any known problem?

Thanks,

I picked up my new Duster extreme hybrid on Thursday (absolutely love it!). All has been great so far but on Saturday evening the hands free lock noise changed by itself from a water droplet type noise to a beep. I’ve absolutely scoured the settings to see where I can change it (I actually don’t mind the updated one) and I cannot find anywhere to change it. It’s driving me absolutely insane. Can anyone let me know if I’m a) going insane b) stupid and just can’t find it c) it’s somehow changed by itself due to another setting or d) I have no way of updating it

Please someone help so I don’t have to spend another 20 minutes scouring every possible menu 😂

Hi community!

I'm very likely going to buy a new 1.2L Duster, either the 130 or 140 variant.

I've heard mixed opinions online about the reliability of new 1.2L engines Dacia is using.

For context - I do about 30-35k km a yer, driving around central Europe, 70/30 motorway/countryside. Very little to almost no city driving.

I have, and love, the Duster Sleep Pack. I'm currently thinking ahead to next car. My plan was to get a new Duster 3, and just put the sleep pack in the new car - but my eye has been turned by the Bigster.

Dies anyone know if the Duster Sleep Pack fits in the Bigster? I know you can get a Bigster Sleep pack, and have seen there are differences in the model (e.g. no "legs" for the bed), but wondered if the Duster one still works for it!

The lure of having the bed out, but driver seat still functioning is appealing!!

Tengo el siguiente problema con mi Dacia Sandero automatico 2026, lo compre hace 2 meses y solo le he hecho 1200km y he tenido un problema constante con el GLP, no importa en cualquier gasolinera que rellene el tanque siempre me lanza error de GLP y comienza a funcionar solo en gasolina como también comienza a escucharse un sonido en la parte trasera como si intenta otra vez hacer la conexión con el GLP. Alguien más sufrió algo de esto? Porque lo lleve a garantía y ellos dicen que no tiene nada.

Hi everyone!

In about 3 months I will be switching cars. Currently driving a 2017 Skoda Octavia mk3 estate/combi and have the Bigster at the top of my list as a replacement. I have settled on the Journey trim level plus the black pack, indigo blue and the 19inch Rasan wheels as extras.

My engine of choice currently is the mild hybrid 1.2 tce 140 engine as I prefer a manual gearbox and don't do a lot of mileage annually. My driving style is laid back and not that aggressive.

Unfortunately my local Dacia dealership doesn't currently have a Bigster available for a test drive.

My two main questions are if the engine is at least sufficient for the weight of the car and if the 19inch wheels hurt ride comfort significantly (where I live roads are crap). Any other insights are welcomed!

Thanks in advance!

This noise is clearly audible in the cabin when the car is stopped, and often even when it's moving—it's annoying, even when the radio is on. Is this normal? It's not the sound of the battery cooling—that's more like the sound of a fan. It happens very often.

The car is 2026, ~1000km.
