Do-it-yourself Renault tuning - interesting projects, mandatory modifications and interesting solutions for tuning the body, interior and engine (90 photos + video)

You can “finish” a car of almost any brand in many ways: from factory modification programs to independent tuning of Renault Logan with your own hands. It all depends on what part of the body your arms are attached to. But it's not only that.

Not all automakers want to give a piece of the pie to third-party tuning firms (and fine-tuning hundreds of thousands of Renault Logans is still a piece of cake!). And that’s why Renault is ready to offer various tuning options, especially with an official guarantee! These tasks are entrusted to a special department of RenaultSport, which supplies car dealerships with the most charged hatchbacks, in which there is simply nothing left to improve...

However, all this concerns Logan only partly. According to an employee of one of the Renault dealerships in St. Petersburg, no factory modifications are provided for this model, however, it is possible (with an official guarantee) to install additional equipment (parking sensors, alarms, audio systems), tint the car, or even apply airbrushing. Moreover, the latter is done by agreement with a third-party company, although it is covered by an official guarantee, like a paint coating.

What can be upgraded in Renault Logan

Before you start pumping up your iron horse yourself, you should find out as much information as possible that can help in some areas.

For example, when watching a video of Renault tuning with your own hands, you will be able to sketch out the stages of work in your mind, plus understand what can be replaced (not every part requires this).

So, Renault Logan tuning includes:

• Replacement of rear and front bumpers;
• Replacement of special thresholds;
• Installation of a new aerodynamic spoiler (serves to increase downforce at speeds exceeding 140 km;
• Replacing moldings;
• Installation of new muffler tips;
• Headlight upgrade (adding new light or functions);
• Reduced clearance by 4-7 cm;
• Installation of air collectors (necessary for cooling the engine compartment, front brake, improving ventilation of the front tires, etc.). Can be of various shapes and types;
• Replacement of side deflectors.

Brushes

Many car enthusiasts may not like the operation of windshield wiper blades. Quite often, the cleaning zone of the right brush in the upper part does not overlap the zone of the left brush. That is, there is a dirty triangle hanging ugly in the middle. When the right brush moves back from the dirty area to the cleaned surface, you can see with the naked eye that dirt begins to flow off. To get rid of this drawback, we recommend installing frameless wipers, for example, from Bosch, Denso, Champion or Alca.

Do-it-yourself modifications to Renault Logan 2 can be done quickly, but you should still have the skills to work with such tuning. When replacing frameless wiper blades, be sure to cover your car's windshield with a thick blanket. If the wiper accidentally falls under the influence of a spring, this will help maintain the integrity of the glass.

Renault Logan – tuning (options and prices)

But still, in order to make this car a little prettier, you need to buy some external tuning parts (80-100 thousand rubles, if you buy all of the following):

• Alloy wheels - always in stock, have a wide range of models for Renault Logan;
• Xenon headlights are always in stock, since they are relevant today, the price and quality depend on the country of origin, you can purchase a set separately or pay for installation;
• “Eyelashes” for headlights – usually sold as a set;

• “Angel eyes” for Logan are universal;
• Tail lights – sold in several options, such as black, chrome or LED;
• Fog lights – sold as a set, car owners consider “Prosport” to be the best of them;
• Radiator grille - you can purchase black or chrome, for example, “Berkut”, and protective grilles of a more expensive design are also sold;
• Wind deflectors and a hood deflector are sold individually and as a set (some believe that they only damage the car);

• A spoiler can be purchased from any manufacturer, but the wait for delivery of more expensive ones will take at least a week;
• A body kit in the color of a car such as the domestic whale “Galant” or the German “Mattig” includes moldings, sills, front and rear bumpers, a muffler, “eyelashes”, a spoiler and two fog lights - other configurations can also be included, but painting in color will cost you will have to pay extra for the car body;

If you don’t have enough money for a whole body kit, you should think about purchasing some parts separately, for example, sills and trims for the front and rear bumpers. And ordering from Tolyatti will cost you less.

You can buy bi-xenon headlights and do the tuning yourself or pay for installation.

If you have long dreamed of turning your Logan into a beautiful sedan, but do not know which model to focus on when tuning, our reviews and test drives will help you. Perhaps the information from this article about what the owners want to change in a similar budget sedan Lada Grante will also help you.

Rear bumper

This detail should look harmonious with the entire image of the car. In addition, the rear bumper must have a large ventilation area.

Their shape is unusual and intricate, with beautiful air vents along the edges. This will facilitate the rapid removal of air that is removed from under the bottom of the car.

The rear bumper with a large air collector is designed to pass accumulated air pressure under the car body. This design directly affects the pressure decrease as the difference increases. Attaching a new stylish rear bumper with your own hands will be problematic. It is best to contact specialists.

The bumper design includes two deflectors on the sides, which improve ventilation of the rear arch. Thanks to such parts, the rear brakes are ventilated to cool them. This allows you to reduce air turbulence under the wheel spaces of the car.

Do-it-yourself Renault Logan interior tuning

Fortunately, the Renault Logan interior is not particularly sophisticated, and many tuning accessories for universal use can be used here too.

Floor mats

You can purchase sets of mats, for example, glowing mats from PROSPORT, which will glow when used in the cabin with ultraviolet lighting. You can decorate it a little and at the same time extend the service life of existing mats with special aluminum linings that prevent them from being abraded by shoes under the control unit. In addition, you can choose covers for the pedals themselves, which will protect them from rapid wear and will give the interior a special flavor.

Four-point and six-point seat belts, belt covers

Do you like fast driving? This is for you! With such a seat belt, you won’t even feel discomfort during hard braking, and in the event of an accident, you will have a much greater chance of not getting hurt at all.

The simple seat belt cover is not only beautiful, it greatly alleviates the discomfort caused by the seat belt and is a must-have if you spend all day behind the wheel.

Sports steering wheel

You can completely replace the steering wheel of your car with a sports one. It's not just the bright colors, you'll also get a steering wheel that's ideal for handling comfort. The rough surface, ergonomic design, and often the presence of control buttons on it will make it possible to enjoy driving on any road.

You can further improve the steering wheel with the help of a clutch that allows you to quickly remove the steering wheel or adjust its stem. Steering wheel braids are available in hundreds of different options; their purpose is not only to make the appearance of the interior more memorable, as a rule, when using them, the driver receives greater comfort. Choose it as the final touch when tuning the Renault Logan interior.

Gear shift knob

The gear shift knob is one of the most striking objects in the car interior, certainly attracting attention. You can choose from a variety of handle options that not only add style thanks to the design and visual extension of the lever, but also give you the comfort you need

There are a variety of covers for pens in a variety of options; choose the color to match your interior.

Decorative frames, inserts, and other elements

All these little things at first glance help make the interior of the car individual and unique, conveying the character of the owner. An air ionizer will get rid of unpleasant odors in the cabin, you can install any audio systems to replace the standard ones, and complete flashing of the entire cabin is possible. The time when interior tuning was limited to stickers on windows and coins behind the windshield rubber is long gone; make your car special. Tuning the dashboard, instrument panels, everything is in your hands.

Another wiper problem

There is another complaint about Renault Logan windshield wipers. Structurally, they are created in such a way that the coverage area of ​​the passenger wiper does not reach the driver’s. As a result, a lot of water remains in the middle of the glass and flows down. Logan breeders call this phenomenon snot. On the road, this snot is annoying, forcing you to constantly turn on the wipers to brush away excess water.

There are several ways to overcome this problem. For example, you can buy brushes of non-standard sizes: 60 cm for the driver's side and 45 cm for the passenger side.

If you raise the parking position of the passenger wiper, you will also get rid of the snot or it will simply become too small.

To completely solve the problem, it is necessary to modify the trapezoid: bend or shorten it. The second method is more effective, but requires the use of a grinder and welding. In addition, the modification is time-consuming, but the problem disappears forever, and you will be able to install larger wipers on both sides, increasing the cleaning area of ​​​​the windshield.

Types of tuning

It's no secret that the tuning procedure not only improves the appearance, but also improves the technical characteristics of the car.

We can say that through tuning, a vehicle turns into a truly modified product of the automotive industry.

Varieties:

• technical – this type of tuning includes:
• increasing engine power parameters;
• gearbox transformation;
• chip tuning;
• modification of the car suspension.

Internal tuning is based on replacing interior elements.

External tuning consists of the following processes:

• installation of modified lighting equipment and other optics;
• installation of body kits and spoilers;
• replacing some body parts with other lightweight options;
• applying airbrushing, moldings and various overlays;
• tinting glass surfaces.

In order to visually familiarize yourself with this procedure, you can look at photographs of tuning Renault Logan and Renault Duster.

Radiator pad

A fairly noticeable detail of tuning is the installation of a radiator trim, which, in addition to its beautiful appearance, can also perform a protective role.

Installing it yourself is not difficult, and it costs only 1500-2000 rubles.

Interior tuning

It is difficult to do professional tuning of the Renault Logan interior. If you really take the issue seriously, the price of such tuning will be approximately half the cost of a standard Logan, and this is not entirely advisable. But still, you can redo the interior even with a small budget, for example, if you install a different audio system, put on beautiful covers, change the steering wheel, then all this will not cost much.

With a budget of 10,000 rubles, you can install a more powerful audio system, especially if you don’t like the standard one. A subwoofer will cost about 10,000 rubles, new speakers - 6,000, and a rear acoustic shelf - 2,000 rubles. As for the multimedia system, prices can be completely different, there is no limit, there are systems that cost more than a car.

As a rule, all the acoustics and various elements are already available, except that it will take about a week to install these systems if you take the car to a service center for them to install it.

The door sill plates with the model name look original; depending on the design, they can cost about 2,700 rubles. And for those who are not used to the fact that the car does not have an on-board computer, there is good news - it can be installed for 6,000 rubles. Also, to make the car more modern, you can install heated seats; this topic is especially relevant for those who drive a lot in the winter. For 3000 rubles it will be possible to solve this issue.

Next, in order to know exactly how much fuel is left in the tank, you can install a fuel pressure regulator with a pressure gauge; for example, such a regulator from Prosport will cost 3,000 rubles. In general, this regulator is needed in order to increase engine power by pumping more fuel into the cylinders. But this is true for really powerful engines. For Renault Logan, this pressure regulator is purely for beauty.

For those who will allocate 100,000 rubles for body tuning

The most expensive interior finishing job is reupholstering the interior. It all depends on the quality of the materials used and the number of parts that need to be altered. If we take the re-stitching of the front and rear seats, door inserts and headrests, then the price of the issue will be about 70,000 rubles, if we take large cities of Russia, such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. If you do a complete re-stitching, the price can rise significantly.

Hood stop

Another cheap solution in Logan is a mechanical hood stop, which is popularly called a poker. Why didn't the manufacturer install a stop that would help lift the hood and hold it in the open position without additional fixation? The topic has been thoroughly developed and on the forums you will find numerous reports on their installation. Parts from domestic brands - Tavria, Devyatka, Niva - are suitable as stops. Various mounting options have been invented.

The finished delivery kit contains fasteners, stops and detailed instructions. Even a beginner can easily cope with the task. There are a lot of reviews on the forums about such sets from users who managed to buy them and use them.

Updated Renault Logan (Dacia) 2013

The 2013 Logan is a completely different car. Literally everything is new. The French completely changed the exterior, the entire interior changed, and the car also received many new useful features that make the car head and shoulders above its previous versions. In general, officially, Logan 2013 is the second generation of the car, since in 2008, the car underwent only a slight restyling. This year, Renault also introduced the Sandero model and the Sandero StepWay modification. These three cars have a lot in common. The body design, front and rear lights, as well as the interior are almost identical. Thus, the French want to follow the fashion trend - unification, which is characteristic of all models of famous brands.

For example, in Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes, cars of all classes have long been similar to each other. Even the Hyundai brand made the new Accent, Elantra and Sonata models simply copies. Now it seems that Renault has joined this trend. See what awaits us in the new Duster!

Windscreen wipers

The first thing the driver sees when driving a Renault Logan for the first time is the unusual operation of the windshield wipers. The wipers do not turn on automatically after using the washer, as happens on many modern cars. Some people even like it, but many logan drivers still require automation. Amazingly, everything needed for this function to work is in the car: you just need to modify a few things.

According to the instructions, even an inexperienced motorist can perform the upgrade. The costs are also cheap - only one transaction is required. After the modification, the function begins to work as follows: when you pull the wiper lever toward you, water splashes onto the glass, and after 1-1.5 seconds the brushes begin to move. The number of strokes depends on how long you hold the lever:

• less than a second - one swing;
• two seconds - two swings;
• three seconds or more - three strokes.

It is amazing that the system was not modernized at the factory for a long time, but in the latest models this problem was nevertheless solved.

Tuning Renault Logan

By looking at photos of Renault Logan tuning, you can bring interesting ideas to life. You can improve your car either with the help of a tuning studio or on your own, since there are plenty of tuning parts on the market. Tuning a Renault Logan with your own hands is not a very expensive and time-consuming process.

You can start tuning Renault Logan yourself by installing new alloy wheels - this will take a little time. You can install front optics, rear lights, side window deflectors, additional brake lights, fog lights. If you don’t want to change the standard headlights, you can purchase specialized headlight covers for Renault Logan. Glasses are available in various colors and shapes. They are plastic covers that change the shape of the headlights and protect the glass from damage without interfering with the glow of the lamps. In general, alternative optics are significantly different from those installed at the factory and significantly change the appearance of Renault Logan. You can continue tuning Renault Logan by tinting the windows with a dark film or film in the body color.

External tuning

External tuning of Renault Logan also involves the installation of an aerodynamic body kit, which, in addition to its attractive appearance, also improves the aerodynamics and handling of the car. Body kits include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, spoiler, side skirts, and radiator grille. You can install a wing and a visor on the rear window. There are a lot of options for external tuning of Logan, it all depends on the imagination and preferences of the owner. This machine is great for a variety of exterior modifications.

Internal tuning Renault Logan

In addition to external transformation, most drivers prefer to improve the technical characteristics of Renault Logan, for example, increase engine power, since the factory one does not have the desired power. The most affordable and effective way is chip tuning. Through chip tuning, the electronic control unit is modified, the computer program is changed, but the technical part of the car is not affected. Pros: increased power, torque and reduced fuel consumption.

Driving a Renault Logan becomes fast and comfortable. In addition, chip tuning provides another significant advantage - it is the installation of a system in the car that can select programs for normal engine operation. Thus, the driver has the opportunity to drive the car by independently changing the engine characteristics. That is, if there is a need for fast driving, the ECU switches to the sports operating mode; when driving quietly, the standard mode is switched on. Chip tuning will help make it easier to drive a car on city roads, but on the highway it makes it possible to accelerate sharply when overtaking. Many Logan owners increase braking dynamics by installing ventilated brakes on the front axle.

Renault Logan interior tuning

The Renault Logan interior is too simple and not original, so the use of special parts and accessories is a necessity.

You can reupholster the seats, steering wheel and other interior parts with modern materials in the same color scheme and style. Velor, leather, eco-leather are perfect for these purposes: the materials are relatively inexpensive, but durable and elastic. Tuning the Renault Logan interior includes installing heated seats, which is very important in domestic climatic conditions.

Car owners should acquire high-quality sound insulation, which will eliminate the sound irritants characteristic of Renault Logan. An air ionizer will eliminate unpleasant odors in the cabin. Rugs will add a special touch to the interior and perform a protective function. All these details can make the interior of the car individual and convey the character of the owner. Modernization of Renault Logan will help car owners gain comfort, coziness and additional opportunities.

Repair

When carrying out repairs yourself, be careful and careful. It is advisable to check the manual while working. This will help avoid mistakes. The technical documents for the car always indicate all the important tightening torques. Always tighten bolts (nuts) with the specified torque

This is especially important when repairing an engine. For this you will need a standard torque wrench.

When disassembling vehicle components, always put the removed parts in order, especially if you are going to reinstall them. At the same time, it is advisable to clean the parts from dirt and rust. When assembling threaded connections, it is recommended to use graphite lubricant. But this does not apply to wheel bearings. Conclusion. Service at dealership centers is quite expensive. In addition, it is very difficult to call it high quality. Therefore, Renault Logan repairs and maintenance are done more and more often. After all, there is nothing special here. All parts and components are quite simple, which allows you to troubleshoot problems in any garage with a minimum set of tools. The most difficult part is engine diagnostics, but you can do it yourself.

Chip tuning Renault

Chip tuning is a special procedure that allows you to improve the dynamics of the car, as well as increase the comfort parameters when driving and handling.

Advantages of Renault chip tuning:

• increasing the sensitivity of the gas pedal;
• smoothing out dips with increasing speed and effects caused by turbo lag;
• improvement of pick-ups from below;
• increasing elasticity characteristics under various loads;
• solving problems that arise due to floating speed on a cold propulsion device;
• improving the functioning of the internal combustion engine when the air conditioner is running.

Chip tuning improves not only turbocharged engines, but also naturally aspirated ones. This fact can be verified by measurements on a dyno stand.

Airbrush or vinyl film

Well, in the end, you can pay attention to applying various airbrushes, although vinyl film will be much cheaper.

Plus, vinyl film is much easier to apply yourself, as well as remove it (if you no longer like it). The same cannot be said about airbrushing, where to remove it you will have to completely repaint the car.

Changes affecting the interior

1. The radiator grille is endowed with the role of not only a decorative element, but can also please with its practicality. This is expressed in the throughput of the oncoming air flow for cooling the radiator honeycombs of the cooling system.

There are several options for transforming the appearance of this element:

• painting in a color similar to the body coating;
• lining the grille or replacing it with a more sophisticated analogue.

On the market you can find many companies selling modified front grilles, this can be seen from numerous photos. They are often more effective than original products. Some workshops can make a custom grille based on your wishes.

We recommend using these parts if there is a need for deeper and more “advanced” tuning of Renault Logan.

2. Next, the front bumper will need modification. In addition, you can get overlays. This category of bumpers is endowed with increased strength and resistance to low-temperature atmospheric conditions. To replace the bumper, you will need to carry out a number of mandatory disassembly operations yourself. This will save the owner from the cost of workshop services.

If you decide to tune the “French” Renault Logan, then replacing the bumper is “vitally” necessary, since this gives the exterior a unique charisma, and can also increase the efficiency of air cooling of units located in the depths of the engine compartment.

3. Stern bumper. After installing a “fresh” front bumper, neglecting to replace the rear similar element will be a blasphemous act. The choice of bumper should imply post-installation harmony with other exterior elements, for example, headlights.

4. The next stage when complex tuning is carried out can reasonably be considered the installation of new and effective optics. If you are inclined to modify old headlights, then this procedure is unlikely to lead to the expected effect. Therefore, we recommend getting new headlights. After installing the new optics, LED elements need to be integrated into its body. The rear headlights already have diode emitters in the factory version.

If you set out to implement such tuning in Renault Logan, you can achieve a high-quality result, because the new lighting equipment will not leave most passers-by indifferent.

5. Next, we resort to installing light-alloy wheels with low-profile tires. If you want to tune Renault Logan, the parameters of the specified elements will be as follows:

• disc radius – R-16;
• Tire size – 205*50*R16.

These modifications are recommended to be carried out in conjunction with measures to modernize the suspension.

6. When tuning is carried out, you should not neglect the modification of chassis elements. It would be advisable to install more efficient brakes:

• larger diameter disks;
• calipers with pads that improve braking efficiency.

Modifications of this nature should be carried out if you intend to operate a Renault Logan car in extreme conditions.

The continuation when tuning the suspension yourself is to replace the shock absorber struts with stiffer damping elements. Here, the installation of stiffer springs is considered a mandatory and effective measure.

7. Transformations in the interior can take on a varied character. The instrument panel is usually modified to improve the aesthetics of its appearance. There are ready-made versions for this element in the market network. It is also possible to modify the panel yourself. But for this option, the owner must have certain skills. Due to the rare nature of some panel parts, refinishing it yourself can be a long-term process or a dead end.

8. To modernize interior panels, many owners are inclined to purchase ready-made elements. In the photo or video you can see the finishing options and choose the most harmonious one according to your preference. These spare parts have their own functions, as well as individual color shades. Most elements can be replaced by hand without much difficulty.

Leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob

Some owners are inclined to contact a workshop, where specialists will qualitatively install the upholstery of the steering wheel rim and gearshift lever handle. However, the option of installing these accessories yourself cannot be ruled out. For this improvement, we provide some recommendations to minimize the risk of damage to premium material.

So:

1. We take the size from the Renault Logan steering wheel and make a pattern. For this purpose, we wrap the steering wheel with tape, after which we mark the seam. We use a marker.
2. We arm ourselves with a sharp knife, with which we make an incision along the suture line, and then remove the pattern from the steering rim.
3. We place the resulting template on a piece of leather and make markings on the material.
4. Apply a stitch along the edges of the leather. A thick thread will do.
5. Now you need to sew the two edges of the strip (skin) along the inner surface.
6. We put the manufactured ring cover on the steering rim and sew it with a needle and thick thread. We pass the needle through the seam so as to create gaps the size of one cell. This type of seam is called macrame.
7. We perform a similar operation with respect to the transmission lever handle. You can also convert the handbrake handle in a similar way.

Car repainting, airbrush work

The most suitable color for repainting is white, the base color of budget models. At the request of car tuning enthusiasts, numerous studios can paint the car in exotic colors and various “metallics”.

Simple combination color options can come down to sticking on several dark longitudinal stripes of plastic stickers that immediately make the car stand out on the road. Interesting are the combined color options for the new Renault Logan, combining the white top of the car with a dark (black, red) bottom.

The artistic airbrushing of the body looks most striking. Amateur airbrush tuning of Logan is hardly possible. Even when using stencils, these works require special equipment, significant experience, well-honed skills, and many years of practice. To improve the exterior of the Renault Logan with airbrushing and give the car a unique look, you need to contact a trusted tuning studio.

Hello. Very beautiful tuning of rear lights for Renault Logan 2014. But how can I buy or order them from you, I can’t find the link? I want chrome rear lights like in the photo of the white Renault Logan car. Help.

What can be done to change the ground clearance and how will this affect the performance of the car? I usually only did external tuning and only a couple of times, this time I’m thinking about doing something about the interior and “internals”. Regarding ground clearance, I don’t know whether this car will make it better or worse.

I wouldn’t change the ground clearance, but it’s quite realistic, it’s harder to raise the car, but visually lowering it is real. There are special inserts for this, which allow you to change the appearance of the car, and in which direction, everyone decides for themselves.

For me, normal tuning is improving the engine. First of all, I would install a turbine, but for this I would have to change the gearbox, since the standard one will not withstand the increased power of the car.

Renault first introduced the Logan model in 2004. Probably, then the French had no idea how successful this car would become, and what popularity awaited it. Since 2005, the car began to gain incredible popularity in the CIS countries. The car was a “B” class sedan and promised to cost nothing at all, which was rare for 2004-2005. Logan was produced under two brands: Dacia and Renault. Dacia is a Romanian company that has become a subsidiary of Renault itself since 1998

Probably many people still pay attention to Logan’s blue badge

Logan 2004, sold without any changes for only 4 years. And already in 2008, the car received a light restyling, which was aimed mainly at improving the exterior. The new product received a slightly modified trunk lid and radiator grille. To improve comfort, Renault decided to work on the side mirrors; they became wider, thanks to which the owners of the new Logan received a greater view than before. Since 2008, Logan has not changed until 2013. And today, in 2013, Renault introduced a new generation of its popular Logan. How much better is the new product than previous versions and what’s new in it, let’s look further.

We don’t grow old at heart

Even brand experts sometimes cannot answer how many years this model has existed. The first generation of Renault Logan began its history back in 2006, when the concern finally decided to create an ultra-low-cost family car that would be distinguished by both high reliability, efficiency and a long service life.

I must say that the French really succeeded. At first there were a lot of rumors about how many engines are supplied to Renault Logan, and what potential they have. Thus, a line of gasoline engines with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters was born, which have a similar design and operating principle and differ in power precisely due to their volume.

How many valves are there? For the first generation, the engine running on Renault Logan has only 8 valves in total. True, the third Renault Logan engine subsequently appeared, in which the number of valves doubled and reached 16. The engine life, according to Renault Logan engineers, is not regulated.

However, practice has shown that the answer to the question of how long a motor runs without major repairs is clear. After 300 thousand kilometers, investments cannot be avoided. In addition, soon after the model entered the market, it became clear that one of the weak points of all power units was the crankshaft liners, which, as it turned out, should be changed every 50,000 kilometers. Otherwise, the Renault Logan engine begins to knock and requires expensive and time-consuming repairs after 100,000 km.

The 1.6 engine for Renault Logan, whose power rating is 84 horsepower, reaches a torque of 115 Newton meters at 5000 rpm. The maximum possible speed of the car is 175 km/h, and acceleration to 100 km/h is 11.5 seconds. At the same time, in the city the car can consume no more than 10 liters, and outside the city - 7 liters per 100 km.

How much power does the 16-valve Renault Logan engine have? The motor supplied with the second phase of the Renault Logan has a power of 102 “horses” and reaches a maximum torque of 145 units already at 3750 rpm. The maximum possible speed is 180 km/h, and the car can accelerate to hundreds in just 10 seconds. Consumption - no more than 7 liters per 100 kilometers.

About tuning options

The Internet is overloaded with a huge number of photos and videos showing modified elements of Renault Logan cars.

Thanks to this thematic resource, you can come to the conclusion about the possibility of doing your own tuning. Here we will present the most popular transformations, the introduction of which to the car is so desirable for the majority of Loganovods.

1. Refinement of the radiator grille, transformation of the appearance of the front lighting equipment, installation of LED backlight lamps in the headlight units.
2. Modification of the front and rear bumpers.
3. Tuning the side sill trims.
4. Replacing the taillights with analogues with LED emitters.
5. Installation of light alloy wheels with a larger radius, which includes the installation of low-profile tires. This significantly brings the exterior of Renault Logan closer to a sporty look.
6. The use of brake mechanisms with increased performance and resistance to overheating.
7. Upgraded components in the suspension, which improves stability.
8. Tuning the dashboard and console.
9. The use of decorative overlays on interior upholstery elements.
10. Installation of metal linings on pedal pads of control units.
11. Tuning of other (not listed here) interior elements in order to give the interior a complete look.

The above list of tuning improvements is most in demand by the large army of Renault Logan owners.

Next, it is advisable to consider each of the above points in separate order for a more detailed acquaintance with the possibilities of hand-made tuning, and also consider the photo.

We are moving towards solving emerging problems

1. If a Renault Logan car suffers from a fuel pump malfunction, you should consider the nuances of its electrical connection and operating features. And do the repairs yourself only if you are a specialist. We carefully check the corresponding fuse in terms of its integrity. If the thread breaks, replace it. Do not neglect monitoring the performance of the pump relay. We also check. These two faults are the most common causes of fuel pump failure. The Internet is filled with a lot of information on this topic.

2. If the tie rod end is worn, it is very easy to replace it:

• dismantle the wheel;
• unscrew the nut securing the ball pin of the tip;
• through several targeted impacts with a hammer, we remove the hinge from the ear in the steering knuckle;
• We disconnect the tip from the rod and screw a new element onto it (we follow certain rules - we take into account the number of threaded turns that fit the old part on the rod and use the video material).

3. To replace worn pads in the front brake mechanisms, we proceed according to the following algorithm:

• We start by removing the wheel;
• unscrew a couple of bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket;
• remove the used pads;
• we install “fresh” parts in their places;
• The assembly process is the reverse of the dismantling procedure (for convenience, we use a suitable video).

4. If in a Renault Logan mechanical transmission unit switching gears becomes hard or difficult, then we independently adjust the rocker. The procedure is carried out in a pit and looks like this:

• move the shift lever to the neutral position;
• unscrew the bolt;
• fix the rod in the required position and tighten the bolt.

5. Repairing and maintaining a car is a responsible matter, and not always easy. If there is a break in the brake hose, we replace it with a new element. To carry out this action, perform the following manipulations:

• unscrew both hose ends: from the line and from the caliper;
• We are quickly installing a new part;
• We bleed the system by pressing the Renault Logan brake pedal several times, followed by opening the fitting until the air bubbles in the escaping fluid completely disappear;
• If you have any difficulties with your work, use video instructions.

6. When windshield wipers make extraneous noise, it becomes necessary to “supply” their mechanism with lubricant. We perform this action in the following order:

• we disassemble the plastic panels covering the assembly and located under the windshield;
• disconnect the mechanism and remove it as an assembly;
• We carry out cleaning and subsequent lubrication of moving elements;
• We assemble the unit and diagnose it for the absence of unpleasant noise.

7. If the handbrake cable breaks, the unit stops functioning. Replacing a part involves performing the following simple steps:

• in the cabin, disconnect the broken cable from the drive handle;
• dismantle the attachment point to the Renault Logan body;
• We install a new cable in place of the old one;
• adjust the degree of tension and stroke of the handle;
• We check the functionality.

To carry out repairs and maintenance in Renault Logan, we stock up on the minimum required set of tools.

Why tuning is necessary

As mentioned earlier, Renault cars (Logan and Duster) have some advantages, thanks to which they have won the trust of many car owners.

Advantages:

• Low price;
• Maintenance is not expensive;
• Capacity;
• Optimal running parameters;
• European (acceptable) quality.

Flaws:

• Low level of quality of materials from which the finishing is made;
• Inadequate ergonomics;
• Insufficient basic equipment.

Of course, it cannot be denied that in recent years the modern Renault Logan and Renault Duster have changed a little: the manufacturers have improved the design and added a couple of new devices.

Factory tuning is not typical for such models: sometimes the tuning procedure is carried out by small organizations motivated solely by interest and working on pure enthusiasm, while other enterprises fundamentally do not undertake the work of upgrading such cars.

It is for this reason that owners of Logans and Dusters often have to tune their cars themselves.

Replacing rims

After installing light alloy wheels, many owners discover changes in the behavior of their car. This applies not only to acceleration dynamics, but also to handling.

In order for the new disks to fit on Renault Logan as “native” ones, the owner will need to worry about compliance with the technical parameters below, by which these products are classified and differentiated.

Among these points are:

• bolt pattern (it is important for attaching the disk to the hub);
• product diameter (in inches);
• the width of the disk itself and its overhang.

The indicated important parameters are present in the technical map of the car, and their compliance is paramount.

Sandero body modification

Do-it-yourself tuning of the Renault Sandero frame is very popular among the owners of this crossover. Video materials from master classes show a range of variations regarding tuning modernization of the car body. The entire range of work can be completed independently only if you have the appropriate equipment and tools.

If a car enthusiast wants to get a sports car as a result of design innovations, then such tuning can also be performed without the participation of third-party specialists. First, the thresholds of the car are hung with powerful, embossed structures, the wing is attached to the trunk, the protection of the car is strengthened at the front and rear, with the frame of the bumpers being improved. The radiator grille is replaced with a special metal mesh, which can be simply chrome-plated or painted to match the color of the car. The best option is to install the same type of grille in the space under the radiator and in front of it. This tuning is more appropriate.

Recent trends in car tuning indicate that it has become fashionable to apply various protective films to the car body. Renault Sandero has not been spared fashion either. Films are sold through official sales representatives. There are options for incomplete body wrapping, for example, tuning the hood or parts of the front bumper. They are applied to areas that are less protected when moving. Tuning using film is performed in a special room and with the necessary equipment.

The number of different types of Renault Sandero wheels is simply impressive. The diameter of the wheel hub (60.1 mm) and proper drilling (4/100) have a particular influence on the appearance of the rim. For the Renault Sandero line, the most suitable range of wheels can be offered by manufacturers NZ, as well as Alcasta and Cross Street.

Trunk

Do-it-yourself modifications to Renault Logan 1 also concern improving the trunk. The car is not small, but it also has hidden reserves. The factory spare tire is located in the niche “face up”; its internal volume is not used in any way. If the wheel is turned over, the tow rope and other small things that are usually found in the trunk of every driver fit perfectly into the space.

And so that half of the trunk is still level, experts advise covering the spare tire with a split plywood cover. The halves of such a homemade cover are connected by a sheet of thin sound insulation, the thickness of which does not exceed 3 mm. This articulated joint further reduces noise and vibration.

How to install and adjust anti-fog optics?

How are fog lights installed? Before starting the procedure, you should carefully read the existing rules for installing fog lights, which will avoid the negative consequences of illiterate installation and save the owner from unwanted inconveniences. Among these, there is not effective roadside lighting, but banal blinding of oncoming traffic participants.

As an installation procedure, when installing fog lights, you can choose two options for its implementation: by independently performing a full range of manipulations and by contacting specialists from a specialized workshop.

If the owner has chosen the option of installing fog lighting devices with his own hands, then he is recommended to follow the work algorithm below.

1. Initially, we check the presence of a special relay in the Renault Logan mounting block, located in the engine compartment. If such an element is missing, then we purchase it.
2. We place the car on a fairly flat surface and remove the front bumper with flaps to remove dirt.
3. So-called “masks” are initially present on the bumper as seats for mounting fog devices. They look like plastic elements painted black.
4. The fog lights are installed strictly in the designated places and are fixed to the surface of the bumper with self-tapping screws (2-3 pcs.).
5. We install the Renault Logan bumper and connect the electrical connector to the socket with the lamp inserted into it. We check the reliable fixation of the socket in the housing and the glass of the fog lamp in order to protect ourselves from the unpleasant “rattling” of the light beam (i.e., the lamp) when moving.
6. We attach the wiring to the Renault Logan bumper using a plastic clip.
7. We install dirt removal shields.
8. We adjust the optics.

How to remove the front door trim of Logan 2

(link to photo source) For work you will need: a knife, a plastic mounting blade, TORX keys T25, T30.

1. The fixing screw at the inner opening handle is turned out. The handle moves forward and is removed from the opening.
2. The front part of the handle is turned upward, the tip of the lock drive rod is removed from the lever sleeve, and the handle is removed.
3. The decorative trim is pulled out from the edge of the armrest. After that, overcoming the resistance of the clips, the cover can be removed.
4. Two screws are unscrewed from the upholstery, which are located under the armrest pad.
5. The screw at the fastening of the upholstery material is turned out.
6. At the Logan 2 exterior mirror mount, a decorative trim is lifted from the edge and removed, overcoming the resistance of the latch.
7. The canvas is lifted from below and pulled away from the panel with force to overcome the force of the clips.
8. The card moves up and retracts as far as the length of the wire harness allows.
9. The latch inside the armrest is released and the wiring harness block is disconnected from the power window control unit.
10. To gain access to the reinforcement units, the mounting mastic is cut with a knife, and the moisture-proof film is separated from the panel.
11. All broken fastening pins are replaced.
12. The casing is installed on Logan 2 in the reverse order.

You need to make sure that the upper edge of the upholstery (it is bent) fits into the groove on the glass seal from the inside.

Adjustment

Replacing the headlight alone is not enough. Its main feature is that some Logan models can emit white light (usually LED models), and some can emit yellow light. The main point is that you need to set up the PTF correctly. So, you can be sure that the flow of light is directed exactly where it is needed, and not up or to the side. During the adjustment process, the following rules must be observed:

• Adjustment of the boundaries of the light beam emitted by LED PTFs must be performed as accurately as possible. Remember - light from a given source should never be directed above a certain horizontal plane;
• The installation of such PTF headlights on Logan should be carried out as close to the road surface as possible. This will allow you to accurately determine the boundary of the light beam emitted by LED models.

Only in exceptional cases is adjustment required at a service station. In most cases, this work is done independently, since the principle of disassembly and assembly is quite simple. However, if you see that problems arise with adjusting the fog light on a Renault Logan car, you will most likely have to visit a service center.

To complete the full list of work described above, a maximum of one hour of free time is required. At the service center, this time may be longer, depending on the queue for repairs of other vehicles. Replacing the PTF on a Renault Logan car should be carried out if the fog light is unstable in its seats, the lamp has burned out, or the protective glass has cracked.

Inspect the door card carefully, choose a corner where there is a gap to insert your fingers in order to most conveniently begin to tear it off. Bend this corner, insert your palm into the gap formed and slowly, increasing the force, pull it towards you, overcoming the force of the latches.

how to remove the rear door trim of a Renault Logan

But it is better to replace it with a mounting blade if available. Before removing the door trim on Renault Logan, find all attachment points. To get to point 2, you need to remove the plastic cover.

Let's look at how to do this. Removing the decorative element First, take a screwdriver to pry the trim off from above. Then we go downwards, trying not to break the rivets.

At the final step, we simply move the lining outward. Two hooks are removed from the grooves, see.

The cover itself is held in place by 5 rivets. Down with another overlay. Then you have access to the screws.

They are unscrewed with a key T. The speaker itself is carefully removed from the door and its terminals are immediately disconnected. The main thing is not to mix up these terminals when turning them on again. I began to pull the trim away from the area of ​​the triangle, where a pair of pistons snapped off, and then holding the door with one hand, with the other I grabbed the side of the door pocket and tore off the trim.

There is no mastic on the doors. The pistons, by the way, don’t break much. We lift the trim, it hangs on the side near the glass seal.

Next, disconnect the window regulator block and twist the card around the axis of the outer door handle rod to remove it.

Window lifter block Three-point mounting for official audio. On the body of the same part there is a plastic plug, which is easy to notice at its base.

Using a plastic spatula or flat-head screwdriver, pry up the plug and use a T20 bit to unscrew another self-tapping screw; however, it is not necessary to completely remove it from the compartment. The remaining third screw, which secures the door card to the metal frame, is located in the upper part of its inner end near the side glass.

To do this, you must also use a bit or a screwdriver T. At the next stage of work on dismantling the Renault Sandero door panel, you need to start releasing it from its seats. First you need to pry off the plastic door card at the bottom, which is located closer to the hood of the car.

The card is removed with a sharp movement towards you, while holding it with your hands on the sides. Replacing opening mechanisms The opening limiters of the front or rear doors of Renault Sandero are removed quite simply.

To do this, you need to unscrew the TORX 30 screws that hold their body.

Advantages and disadvantages of power units

Considerable experience in operating Renault cars with all three types of liquid-cooled engines allows us to draw up a fairly objective picture of their strengths and weaknesses, and in the two models K7J and K7M these characteristics are almost identical, and only the K4M engine has significant differences due to more modern technological solutions, and which one is better is up to the buyers to decide.

Advantages of K7J and K7M:

• low cost and simplicity of engine design;
• reliability: confirmed service life is more than 400 thousand km;
• versatility and maintainability;
• ease of maintenance;
• high torque;
• good “elasticity” of engines, equal to 1.83.

Disadvantages of K7J and K7M:

• relatively high fuel consumption;
• instability of speed when idling;
• the absence of hydraulic compensators in the design, as a result - the need for constant adjustment of the valves (after 20-30 thousand km);
• “bending” of valves when the timing belt suddenly breaks;
• increased “fluidity” of crankshaft oil seals;
• poor reliability of cooling system elements;
• noisy and prone to vibration.

Advantages of K4M:

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

Compared to 8-valve engines, the K4M 16V is much quieter, vibration-free and has the same service life, but significantly more power and torque.

Disadvantages of the K4M motor:

• expensive spare parts;
• “bending” of valves when the belt breaks;
• weak “elasticity” of the engine, equal to 1.53, as a result – problems with car acceleration when overtaking.

Thus, a detailed analysis of the technical characteristics of all three ICE samples, as well as practical experience in operating Renault Logan with these power plants, allows us to determine which engine is better. The more powerful 1.6 liter internal combustion engine with liquid cooling is still somewhat preferable to its “big brother” 1.4 liter.

Moving on to the stern doors

How to remove the rear door trim? Here the process of removing decorative cards is much easier. Dismantling is carried out for the following purposes:

• to replace a window regulator or lock;
• if there is a need to replace the handle, glass or lifting mechanism;
• for installing (replacing) loudspeakers.

We draw attention to the features of the procedure described here, which is correct only for versions of Renault Logan, the doors of which are equipped with manual window lifts.

1. Remove the handle.
2. Using a Torx wrench size 30, unscrew the screw located inside the handle.
3. We remove the inner handle and remove the rod from the mounting hole.
4. Let's move on to dismantling the armrest. Here we use a Torx size 20 and unscrew the screw securing the upholstery.
5. The rear door panels have nine fastening pins. They also snap off when the panel is “squeezed” manually.
6. We lift the card and remove the button blocking the internal lock from the hole in the end switch. It also needs to be removed.

The sealant can create a number of difficulties when removing the card. We apply a little more force, and the panel unconditionally capitulates under the pressure of a strong owner. We helped you figure out how to remove the rear door trim.
