Since I got the Bigster, I was annoyed with the space above the 12v/usb sockets. If I put my phone or anything else there and accelerate they just slide out or roll off. I was going to 3d print a holder but a quick google and I see there already exists a drawer with non slip pad inside that fits snug and doesn't move or rattle when driving. Now I can use this space for keys, coins, tickets etc
Hey guys, I’m thinking about getting a Dacia Duster 3 Extreme with the 158 hp engine and wanted to hear some real owner opinions before pulling the trigger. How do you like it so far? Is the engine actually fun/smooth enough for daily driving and highway trips? Any issues or things that annoy you? Also, what accessories or upgrades would you say are 100% worth getting right away? Stuff like better speakers/sound system, dashcam, trunk protection, roof bars, all weather mats, sound insulation, dog accessories or anything comfort/tech related. Basically: what do you wish you added earlier? Thanks :)
Bonjour à vous,
J’espère que vous allez bien.
J’ai acheté ma Dacia sandero classique (2024) en 2025 avec 14k km, aujourd’hui elle en a 24k.
J’ai fait ma révision chez Dacia, les pneus avants sont finis, je dois les changer (aucune remarque sur mes plaquettes de freins), les pneus arrières tiennent encore.
Je comprends pas, comment est-ce possible ? Je pensais que les pneus ça se changeait tous les 4-5ans…
Pour info : acheté chez concession Hyundai + pneus été + principalement autoroute…
C’est ma première voiture, que feriez-vous à ma place ?
Un grand merci pour vos conseils
Plec în Grecia cu Dacia Logan 1.4 mpi 2008, 206 000 km.
La 176 000 am schimbat kit accesorii și kit distribuție.
Anul trecut am schimbat lichidul de frana, lichidul servo direcție.
Luna Mai 2026 schimbat antigel, termostat, ulei si filtre, sonda lambda.
Ce sa mai schimb înainte de a pleca la drum?
Sau ce vi s-a mai defectat ceva după 200 000 km?
Mulțumesc.
Hi everyone,
I need some technical opinions on a paint issue with my 1.5-year-old Dacia Jogger (purchased in Spain).
The Backstory:
When the car was delivered brand new, it had obvious paint defects on the hood. The dealership agreed to fix it under warranty, so the hood, roof, and one door were completely repainted by an official dealership body shop about a year ago.
The Current Problem:
A few weeks ago, while washing the car with a standard pressure washer (not too close, regular maintenance), a chunk of paint completely flew off the hood, leaving a perfectly clean, sharp, circular gap.
As you can see in the picture:
The dark gray undercoat/primer underneath is completely intact, smooth, and clean. There are no burns, etching, or rough spots on the primer itself.
The edges are not sealed; the paint around the missing chunk is actively lifting and peeling like a sticker (there is an extra 2cm flap lifting right now).
I wash the car weekly and always remove bird droppings immediately.
The Dealership's Response:
The body shop staff completely dismissed it, claiming it's "environmental damage" caused by bird droppings eating through the paint, and that their paint job was perfect. To make things worse, Dacia Spain corporate just ghosted our scheduled inspector appointment and closed the case file, claiming the issue is "resolved".
My Question:
To me, this looks like a textbook case of clear coat/base coat delamination due to poor surface preparation (improper sanding or missing the flash-off window over the primer) during the warranty repair last year. An acidic bird dropping might damage the clear coat, but can it cleanly unglue a 2cm flap of paint from a perfectly smooth primer without leaving any marks on the primer itself?
Has anyone faced similar paint adhesion issues with recent Dacia/Renault models? Does the bird dropping excuse hold any water here technically, or am I being gaslighted by the dealership to avoid a free repaint?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
I am preparing to buy a new Dacia (my previous car was a Dacia, too), and I am undecided about whether to buy the navigation software or not.
The car already comes with the MediaNav display, so in principle I can just plug my phone into it and use whatever I use on my phone (Google Maps, Mapy, Waze etc.).
Under these circumstances, is there any good reason why I would pay for Here Navigation? Is it superior in any way to the phone-based alternatives (some of which are also free)? In general, it is said that "paid" cannot beat "free"; is this true in my situation, too?
EDIT: I forgot to add that I use Android - not that it matters much.
Hello,
I've been lurking on this subreddit lately because I'm interested in buying a Dacia Bigster.
I currently own a Japanese car, and while it has its own subreddit, most of the posts there are just praising it or showing it off.
This subreddit, however, seems to focus mostly on the problems people have with their cars.
Is Dacia really that problematic, or is it just a vocal minority? I'm mostly interested in the Bigster or Duster with the Hybrid 155 engine.
I’m getting a Bigster in a few weeks and something I’d really like to do would be to mount an iPad in the centre of the back seats on the YouClip mount behind the arm rest. The only official YouClip tablet holder is this one: https://www.dacia.co.uk/accessories-range/accessories-catalogue/accessory-details.html?productId=PA\_984E29693R but it looks like it’s designed for the head rest? Anyone done this and have a solution / happen to know which accessory I need?
Hi everyone,
I am a proud owner of the title car. Wonderful car with just a problem. Since i bought it during the chip shortage it only came out with wired android auto and this is a pain in the ass. It always disconnect, i change 2 cables/year (tried a shit ton of cables also very expensive but haven't found a way to fix it for really long time) etc.
I wanted to switch to Android auto wireless but with no external dongle since it would have the same problems since it is still connected to the car USB port.
Which would be the best solution for this?
The design of the roof rails has a limit of 60cm between both bars. I have been into Halfords and they don't have anything that works to extend this. I've been back into the Dacia sales room and they don't have anyhting either.
Looks like I'm limited to 60cm max. Will this be ok? Anyone else managed to find a solution to this?
Car is a 75 plate Duster
Read a facebook post with people commenting this behavior. I am planning to use it exactly for weekend sleepovers in the wild, so hearing this is conserning.
Is it because the key is in the car and thus the system not going to sleep? Could a faraday cage box for the keys be a solution? But wouldnt that activate an alarm if one is installed due to insurance? How to leave the car either locked or unlocked but with the systems shut when you sleep in the trunk?
A todo el mundo: Ojo con comprar un Dacia Bigster, o cualquier Dacia con GLP, están saliendo malos y lo peor, la dirección, Dacia España, DACIA RENAULT, Avda de Europa, Alcobendas, Madrid, no se responsabiliza de nada.
Compramos #DaciaBigster concesionario de Dacia Jurado , en la Avda Albufera, Madrid, el día 10 d abril 2026 , nuevo , según salimos del concesionario a lus 10 km el coche se paro, se bloqueó dirección, se bloquearon frenos, y se paro en seco, tuvo que venir la grúa a por el coche, se lo llevaron , no consiguieron arrancarlo en el taller, a los 20 días después de reparar la avería, nunca nos facilitaron la Diagnosis del vehículo con los códigos de error DTC, muchas opacidad y poca transparencia con la avería, recogimos el vehículo del taller, totalmente reparado según DACIA, según ellos solo eran unas bobinas rajadas, no nos dejaron ver las piezas, al día siguiente de salir del Taller el Vehículo volvió a bloquearse , se bloqueó dirección, sistema de frenos ,tuvo q venir ja grúa de Dacia, con un mecánico para arreglarlo in situ, pero no lo consiguieron , no lograron q el coche arrancase.
En 21 días que tenía el coche, lo hemos tenido en nuestra posesión sólo 48 horas, sólo 3 horas efectivas de conducción.
Dacia pretende, q lo volvamos a reparar, pero ya tuvieron la oportunidad de repararlo y lo volvieron a entregar averiado, es evidente que el coche viene defectuoso de fábrica, y además ha habido una reparación ineficaz, no estamos dispuestos a seguir intentando más reparaciones.
Hay un incumplimiento de contrato, pues el vehículo no cumple con las condiciones de un vehículo nuevo.
Solicitamos cancelación del contrato, ya que no quisieron facilitarnos un coche nuevo, alegaban desproporcionalidad por tratarse de cosas de poco, según ellos las 3 bobinas, q según ellos repararon, además de los inyectores, la sonda anterior, unos fusibles, etc , pero reparado todo esto , no sé solucionó, nos volvieron a entregar coche y se volvió a bloquear, esto empieza a tener toda la pinta de q hemos sido engañados y estafados.
Ojo, Dacia Renault es una empresa q para q compres todo es fantástico, pero según compras son pésimos, ni disculpas han pedido, pésima atención al cliente y Relación con el cliente, trato nefasto en Reclamaciones y en posventa y el Responsable del concesionario donde compramos el vehículo, no se ha dignado a ponerse en contacto con nosotros, aún habiendoles puesto una Reclamación en Consumo.
NO QUEREMOS SABER NADA DE DACIA.
Por favor a todo el mundo, pensadlo muy bien antes de comprar , los coches GLP de Dacia están dando problemas y los Bisgter son un Bluff y lo peor con Dacia Renault no se puede contar.
Que decepción 😞
Jogger 155 Hybrid Extreme 2026
Full tank consumption (run it down to red/warning light with 70 miles left predicted) when trying to drive economically/sensibly.
Using B mode and ECO mode on.
Work commute consists of small village roads and dual carriageway for half the journey. Always trying to maintain the eco range on the power dial where possible with a few overtakes here and there.
Might impressed with the car so far! 🤩
I'm checking for the correct adapter for my Dacia Sandero 2025 LPG car but since I'm seeing multiple versions I'm not confident with buying it without checking before with my Reddit heroes.
The one I found that seems nice enough, is this the proper one?
Ciao a tutti!
Vi scrivo nella speranza che qualcuno di voi sappia aiutarmi a venire fuori da questa questione assurda.
Ho comprato ormai quasi due mesi fa una Dacia Duster usata del 2019 con 84000km.
Andava tutto benissimo, ero strafelice dell'acquisto sudato e che tutt'ora mi sudo.
Purtroppo, dalle mie parti i furti di auto sono all'ordine del giorno e ho deciso di far installare Block Shaft e gps che mi ha proposto Unipol nella polizza furto e incendio (non so se questo possa influire).
La settimana scorsa dopo aver posteggiato facendo una manovra appena brusca, al momento di ripartire mi spuntano delle spie rosse di guasto servosterzo e controllo ESC. Poi, per fortuna la spia è diventata arancione. L'auto si guidava normalmente.
Comunque, vado in concessionaria e se la tengono per una settimana perché non era mai stata portata per i richiami della casa madre.
Fanno ciò che devono fare, tra cui richiamo per servosterzo, e mi dicono che la spia servosterzo è sparita ma rimane quella del controllo ESC (spia arancione di auto che sbanda), e mi mostrano i dati diagnostici del sensore dell'angolo di sterzata, o almeno così mi pare di aver capito, che dice: "velocità volante calcolata dal servosterzo elett.: 3276.8 °/s".
Loro dicono che il sensore è guasto e probabilmente e dovuto al Block Shaft e/o a chi ha eseguito i lavori.
Mi sono recato in quella officina e dicono che non hanno sostituito il sensore quando hanno sostituito la parte di piantone relativa al Block Shaft.
Ora, vi chiedo: è così? Quando si monta si sostituisce il sensore o rimane quello originale?
Potrebbero averlo rovinato durante questa fase di installazione, come si dimostra? Chi paga questo danno e di che costi si può parlare?
L'officina che ha montato Block Shaft mi ha detto di lasciargliela questo venerdì per controllarla, ma non so quanto fidarmi, soprattutto perché quando me la stavo riportando mi chiede "ci sono telecamere in macchina?" E io rispondo: "no, perché?" e lui: "no, perché a volte non fa girare lo sterzo" ma mi sembra una rispota assurda e che mi fa seriamente dubitare.
Scusate il messaggio chilometrico, ho cercato di essere più breve possibile.
Se avete esperienze, idee al riguardo, ve ne sono grato perché sono piuttosto disperato 😅
Grazie a tutti!

Ps. Mi trovo a Palermo
Dacia Bigster Híbrido: Alguien ha probado el sonido que comenta en el manual para avisar a los peatones y ciclistas?. Según el manual dice que al ser un vehículo híbrido entre los 1 y 30 km/h el coche activa una señal acústica. Lo habéis notado?
Hi guys,
I ordered my Sandero eco g auto in the last week of january, the order was placed in the middle of february and on the 1st week of may it changed to shipping. Since then the delivery date changed and now is in July.
I can understand delays, but they told me 15th of may as delivery date and everytime gets delayed even more. Does it take 1 and a half months to ship from Morocco to Portugal!?
I need the car and I am tired of waiting
Hey guys, I have talked with many people about the noise my car is producing on left turns and the best answer I've got so far is a bad wheel bearing. Could anybody on here help me diagnose the issue?
The car makes this weird "whizzing" sort of noise only when turning left past like 20° wheel turn, and mostly only under throttle. Seems to go away as soon as you go off throttle. The noise does not exist when you turn the wheel while standing still, only when driving. Does someone know what could the issue be? The brakes are fine, they are literally brand new, like two weeks old. This issue was present even before the brake job, so I know it does not stem from there. It's just getting really annoying now.
I've attached a video below of how it sounds. Could someone help me out? Thank you so much.
