Renault Laguna 3

Renault Laguna is a representative of the family D-Class cars. The third generation was introduced in June 2007, and in October of the same year it went on sale. The Laguna III is built on the Nissan D platform, shared with the Nissan Altima. The car was offered in three body versions: hatchback, station wagon and coupe. In October 2010, a restyled version of the third-generation Renault Laguna appeared. Changes affected the front and rear optics, grille and individual interior elements.

Engines

Laguna was equipped with gasoline and diesel engines. The gasoline line was represented by two atmospheric displacement of 1.6 liters with a capacity of 110 hp (K4M) and 2.0 l 140 hp (M4R), as well as a 2-liter turbo engine recoil 170 and 205 hp (F4R). Diesel versions were equipped with a turbodiesel 1.5 dCi with a capacity of 110 hp (K9K) and 2.0 dCi in versions of 130, 150 and 173 hp (M9R). "charged" versions of the Laguna in the coupe body and wagon sported V-shaped "sixes": gasoline 3.5 liters 238 hp (V4Y) and 3.0 dCi 235 hp. Petrol 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1.6 liters has a temporary type of timing. Its common ailment is the leak of oil from under the sapuna sapoon of the intake manifold or thermostat housing, inside which the oil channels pass. 2-liter "atmospheric" is equipped with a chain drive valve timing. There are also episodes with leakage of oil, but from under the valve cover: you need to update the sealant. Some owners in the summer heat faced with a “mysterious” phenomenon – the engine did not develop maximum speed. Finding problems in the fuel system and replacing the fuel pump did not lead to success. After the drop in the temperature of the outside air, the disease receded. Supercharged 2.0T has a temporary type of valve timing drive. Significant systematic problems with this power unit were not revealed. On the gasoline versions of the Laguna, there are failures of the gas pump due to burning contacts, as well as the destruction of the fuel pump as a result of deformation of the tank - due to ventilation disruption and the formation of a vacuum. There were no fires in the described faults.

Transmission

Renault Laguna III was equipped with 6-speed manual (RK4 and TL4) and automatic transmission (AJ0). There are no common problems with any of the boxes. On diesel versions with a 1.5 dCi engine, owners sometimes have to change their grip after 80-120 thousand km. The cost of a new clutch set is about 10-15 thousand rubles, for a replacement in the service will ask about 6-7 thousand rubles. In some cases, after 120-150 thousand km, wear of a two-mass flywheel is revealed (about 30-35 thousand rubles).

Walking

The first in the suspension of the Renault Laguna 3, as a rule, are handed over the front stabilizer racks - after 40-60 thousand km. The cost of the new original rack is about 2-2.5 thousand rubles, the analogue is about 500-1500 rubles. The bushings of the front stabilizer go a little longer - more than 60-80 thousand km. The new original sleeve will cost 800-1000 rubles, an analogue - 200-300 rubles. "Native" front shock absorbers often begin to knock after 30-60 thousand km and finally die to 60-100 thousand km. Approximately the same amount of support bearings front pillars (2-2.5 thousand rubles original and 1-2 thousand rubles analog) and ball supports (2-3 thousand rubles original and 500-1500 rubles analog). Front hub bearings can sound after 80-120 thousand km. The cost of a new hub in the collection of about 7-10 thousand rubles of the original and 4-5 thousand rubles of the analogue. The rear suspension elements last much longer.

In the steering used hydraulic power with an electric pump, except for the diesel version of the Laguna with a 2.0 dCi engine, where the classic GUR is used. Sometimes there are cases of tightening of the steering wheel due to failure of the electric pump. The cost of a new pump at dealers is about 18 thousand rubles, in spare parts stores - about 15 thousand rubles, an analogue - about 9 thousand rubles. The steering rack can knock after 100-150 thousand km. For repair of the rake will ask about 15 thousand rubles, the new rake will require about 40-45 thousand rubles.

Repeatedly there are cases of sawing of the inner surface of the alloy disc of one of the rear wheels with an overly outgrown handbarrow. The reason is the design flaw of the node.

Body and salon

The body of Laguna is resistant to corrosion - metal in the places of chips does not bloom. Owners sometimes face difficulty slamming and opening one of the front doors. On inspection, the upper outer seal is caught behind the edge of the rear door: the rubber band slides. Over time, the mechanism of the door opening limiter wears out, and when it opens, a loud click is heard. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to replace the sleeve (roller) of the limiter. On cars equipped with a hatch, often there is the appearance of cracks on movable supports. Over time, there is a clouding in the dipped-beam lenses and glazing of fog lamps. Daylights of xenon headlights cease to be turned on due to a violation of contact as a result of overheating and melting of the cartridge. Later, Renault began to install cartridges from a more heat-resistant material, but the cases of melting still repeated. On cars equipped with xenon headlights, sometimes there was a loss of traction of the sensor of the position of the autocorrector body. The original traction is sold only in the collection with the sensor - about 5 thousand rubles. But the "craftsmen" after minor improvements install traction from the remake of the VAZ carburetor cost about 40-50 rubles. After 4-5 years of operation, problems with door locks appear due to failure of electric motors or corrosion of mikriks in the button of external door handles. The new castle in the collection costs about 4-5 thousand rubles. Significantly save it is possible, replacing the electric motor of the castle with a VAZ analogue (150-200 rubles) with insignificant modification of the drive.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.
