Greetings to Taba, nice having people here from all corners of the world!
Regarding your problem, if you dig a bit deeper through this forum you may find links to all kinds of manuals and schematics, including wiring diagram (I know I did ...), and it may be an interesting reading, but if you are an average user of the car, if you are not some kind of professional, you should go to the authorized service and complain about it. Needles to say that you will break the warranty if you just put your little finger on the wiring unauthorized! BTW, what is the warranty policy on Logan/Tondar in Iran? |

Hi dear g100sic, It is very nice for me to find great friends like you, Peykan, Kake, and others around the world.
I guess I have searched here and read all messages, but I will do it again (may be I didn't see the diagrams that you refered to. Tondar (Logan) has a 40,000 Km or 24 months warranty in Iran. I preffer to solve my car's problems as far as possible because unfortunately car manufacturers don't provide good and fast services for their customers usually. I think I could do some professional works on my car, specially checking some electrical and mechanical parts to solve small problems. Although I need technical data and information about my car first, and proper tools next. |

I didn't mean that those links were in this topic, I found them in some other topic inside "Logan English corner", but unfortunately I can't remember anymore what topic was that.
Fortunately though, I did download a couple of interesting documents, so I will give you here their names and you shouldn't have to much trouble "googleing" them out . They are too big though to just attach them right here. So, look for these: MR389LOGAN0.pdf MR388LOGAN1.pdf MR388LOGAN3.pdf MR388LOGAN8.pdf logan - schema.pdf You will find a lot of useful information. The last 2 documents contain information on electrics, but unfortunately the last one is in Romanian language. |

These are not my problems, just findings from different forums.
First I have to apologize that the meaning of car terms is pretty obscure to me even in languages that I know much better that English… So here it comes. German Dacia forums - not much problems with the car but interestingly the more expensive the model, the less it tends to take “repair calls.” Different users from Auto24 Estonian car forum After 42.000 km, bearing of a first wheel 76.000 km, and just tanking 80.000 km, and just tanking 100.000 km – changed rack (or pinion) of the steering system, a bearing of a first wheel, first brakes’ pads, bushings of both first wheels’ suspension. AND – corrosion! Around the filler neck. The car had a metallic paint. The owner sold the car and bought a new Renault Thalia instead. 130 000 km. First bearings have been changed, and maybe should change the shock absorbers as well (all of them). Else, it's been just driving. This post has been edited by Uri: 22 Apr 2008, 21:49 |

Well, this morning I found surprise on parking lot: some idiot scratched my back wing, from back left door to the boot and bonnet on two spots. I was so pissed.....
It's not mechanical issue, but it is a problem. I'll upload some pictures for weekend and try to minimise damage with politure. |

A simple but unfortunately serious problem has been arised for some Logans in Iran. A minor leakage of oil from a screw above the polley of valves in their K4M engine, cause a major problem because it defects the timing belt. Due to this problem the timing belt may be dameged and some pollies may stop when others are running, so the valves may conflicts and accident with pistons, causing a major damage to the engine. Is this problem exist for other friends?

What you mean is that oil is leaking from the Rocker cover this is the cover that covers up the tappets .If this is the problem your car dealer MUST repair it on Garantee .The oil can contaminate the timing belt which could break and then the Tappets all stay down in the Cylinder and get smashed to pieces by the Piston

Yes dear Stu, you are right. The dealer accepts repairing because it is at the Garantee period, but unfortunately due to some problems the required spare parts (6 pcs.) are rare in Iran and we must wait for them!

And I thought that engine is chain driven
Does anyone has idea how much cost service at 60.000 km and what is supposed to be changed? |

Just this evening I had a very nasty problem with my car. During the drive some indicators on the dashboard started flashing, LCD display dimmed a couple of times, and when I stopped it wouldn't start again! When I called the service, they assumed that the battery was empty and advised me to jump-start it with a help of another car by crossover cables, but that didn't help either. Unfortunately I was unable to check the battery voltage on the spot.
29 May 2008, 14:20: A man from the dealership came on the spot this morning right away after I called them. He had a new battery with him, replaced it, and the car started normally with the new accu. While I was waiting for them, I checked the voltage myself, and it was 10.4 V, but was dropping more of 1 V on just locking or unlocking the car (this model has a remote RF locking key). What is strange about the whole thing, is that the battery is of a maintenance free type with a 3-color indicator: green if it's OK (and not empty!!!), black if it is empty, and white if it has to be replaced. So, by the voltmeter measurement obviously the battery is empty, and by it's own indication it is not!?! I did some measurements with this new battery also. Engine running - 13.8 V, engine stopped - 12.4 V, drop of voltage on locking/unlocking the car - no more then 0.25 V. I'll still have to go to the service for checking on the diagnostic computer, and I suppose they will have to check for electrical current leaks also... If they don't, I'll have to insist This post has been edited by g100sic: 29 May 2008, 15:20 |

Yes, my wild guess exactly.
Anyway... it works (so far) after replacement, and that's what matters. |

Diagnostics were OK on Saturday, no electrical leakages.
So, it turned out to be a case of faulty battery. And the guy at the garage told me (in confidence) that those batteries for the first installation are "of not such good quality", and that things like that happen. My bad luck again! But then if I think again, maybe in fact I was really lucky, this could have happened in a month time when I would be on the vacation in Greece, maybe even on the open road... Now, that would be really nasty!!! |

Maby it is ussusal for Dacia Logan, but it is unussual for me
and probably it is not a problem. My new Logan is about 350km. When I push brake pedal, and car stops, and then go back cause of inertion, strange ound apeears from brakes, something like dullys craping until car stop again. Same sound happens when car go backwards on downhil and slightl push brake pedal. this type of Logan dont have ABS. In normal driving it brakes normaly |

peja, i was told never to judge a woman after the first kiss only! that was a very
long time ago, but your 350km is what most people drive in 3+ hours, and you are not even close to the first kiss, yet. give it some time: the car (ANY car!) was stored somewhere, sometimes for quite some time, and break disks accumulate rust then, quickly. that could be the thing you are hearing. it will go away soon, or you can push it to be faster: drive for a few km's with your foot on the brake, ever so lightly. not to get them burning hot (you would smell this), but just to get the dirt off. the brake pads will clean and get used to the disks, and all will be silent within a few hundred km's. greetings - heinz - This post has been edited by heinz57g: 30 Jun 2008, 16:19 |

Peja, even after nearly 10000 km I can still here some sounds from the breaks, it is a kind of grinding noise that can be heard for a very short time when the car is stopped on the downhill and then you let the breaks slightly. And that's all! But that's nothing compared to the squeaking and squealing my old Samara's breaks were producing and they were working perfectly to the very last day I owned it
And now me... During the drive back from vacation from Greece, I noticed something that I wouldn't call a problem, but certainly was unexpected under the circumstances. Driving a loaded car (4 of us + luggage), doing 120-130 km/h, 3500-4000 rpms, on a VERY hot day (nearly 40 deg C), i noticed that a temperature indication on the dashboard dropped DOWN to 2 lines instead a regular 4!!! I've had a couple of longer drives during colder months before, and that wasn't happening then. |

This just shows that your thermostat is working ok and your fan is coming on when the motor is getting hot

g100sic, stu is right, for once: the fastest one of the fan speeds cools down a bit to fast, but it happens seldom and corrects itself within minutes. but it also is the typical DACIA reaction when the car does not like something that the owner is doing. like when 3 of 4 passengers are solidly asleep during a trip, the car naturally gets annoyed and feels neglected, and has to show some reaction somewhere. greetings - heinz - |

The problem is well known in the Romanian section of Dacia Logan. The faulty thermostat is locking open thus allowing the coolant to flow through the radiator. Translation of the test procedure (to find if the thermostat is at fault): CODE In the morning you should pop the hood open then start the engine. If there's no coolant flowing to the expansion "pot" then the thermostat is shut. As the coolant heats up the thermostat opens and coolant starts flowing into the "pot". But you should be patient, as it takes about 10 minutes. If the thermostat is faulty you can even change it yourself; it will cost about 1 EUR (the thermostat, that is) and you lose almost 1 liter of coolant in the process. |

In my oppinion that is utter rubbish because the temp went up and then went down UNDER LOAD if the thermostat was locked open it would not get the temp up quickly thus causing a higher fuel consumption due to the choke being on for longer It is a normal procedure that the Fan comes on under load and cools the motor You will also notice that this can even happen when you park your car and take out the Keys Once the motor has reached its working temp it opens the thermostat IN WINTER THE THERMOSTAT OPENS AND CLOSES DUE TO THE COLD AND HELPS REGULATE YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION BELIEVE ME stu So this is a normal thing to happen and you must not worry about it and also dont forget the Fan can still turn whan switched off This post has been edited by martin245: 12 Jul 2008, 09:34 |

IllusiOn, I doubt that the thermostat is faulty, because the temperature was going both up an down during a trip several times, and as I switched from highway to motorway and the speed went down to around 100km/h and less, the indication stabilized to a normal 4 lines.
Actually, I think what Heinz said makes the most sense, because indeed the rest of my family was asleep while this was happening!!! |

cubik, did you see, or did they tell you how this happened? the cable looks like it was scratching somewhere, which
from the postion should be easy to determine where and why. the water pump looks like it had a leak (gasket ?) somehwere, which usually is noticable well before it breaks. it shows drops on the floor, but the smaller the leak is, the smaller or even non-existant they are. how expensive were the repairs? were they the first real ones in 65000km? greetings - heinz - This post has been edited by heinz57g: 13 Jul 2008, 18:59 |
