Review

Renault Logan 2 entered the Russian market in 2014. The model was assembled in Togliatti. The basis of the design lay all the same universal platform B0, but with a slightly modernized power structure of the body. In comparison with its predecessor, the wheelbase has grown by 4 mm, and the length by 58 mm. Logan 2 is already 7 mm lower and 17 mm lower. The Renault Logan 2 is a lot more attractive. Attention is drawn to smoother lines, harmonious proportions and modern lighting. The interior is completely redesigned. The trunk offers 510 liters of volume. And in expensive configurations, the back of the sofa folds in the ratio of 60/40, allowing you to transport long-lengths. The second Logan was offered exclusively in the sedan. Restrained facelift was held in 2018. In the fall of 2018, a cross-version of Logan Stepway appeared. It is distinguished by increased ground clearance and plastic linings on the wheel arches and in the lower part of the body. The usual version flaunts an impressive ground clearance of 172 mm. Logan Stepway has risen to 195 mm. Renault Logan 2 did not participate in the official crash tests. Of close relatives, a Romanian twin with the Dacia badge was subjected to a safety test, however, in the back of a station wagon. In 2014, EuroNCAP experts estimated the result at three stars. After the frontal impact, the body was severely deformed, and the chest, knees, hips and feet of the driver were seriously injured. In a side impact, poor protection of the ribs and neck was revealed.

Engines

The range of engines of the Russian Logans includes three gasoline four-cylinder atmospheric units with a volume of 1.6 liters.

Basic - 8-valve K7M recoil 82 hp Next in the gradation is the 16-valve K4M, developing 103 hp. Both have a cast iron unit and a belt drive valve timing.

The most powerful in the lineup is the 16-valve H4M, which produces 113 hp. It became available in the summer of 2016. The engine with an aluminum block received a chain drive valve timing.

The K7M was supplied from Romania, and the remaining two engines were assembled in Togliatti.

All engines are depleted of hydraulic compensators. Adjustment of the valve gap is mechanical: in K7M and K4M - with the help of adjusting nuts, and in H4M - by the selection of pushers (glasses).

The belt should be updated every 60,000 km of run. The cost of the original kit with a pump is about 13,000 rubles, and analogues - more than 8,000 rubles.

In the case of H4M, some owners complain about the increased oil consumption. But the problem is not a general one, and the observed oil consumption often does not exceed reasonable limits.

Common motor problems

After 70-120 thousand km can bring the thermostat (over 1300 rubles).

After 100-150 thousand km, individual owners had to change a faulty radiator fan (from 4000 rubles for an analogue or 10 000 rubles for the original).

The supports of the power unit become unusable to 100-150 thousand km of run (the rear 1-2 thousand rubles, and the right one - 5-12 thousand rubles).

After a while, the first oxygen sensor begins to fail (from 1200 rubles for an analog or 4600 rubles for the original).

In K7M, the ignition coil is common for all cylinders (from 1300 rubles for an analog or 3700 rubles for the original). It may need to be replaced after 100-150 thousand km.

The K4M and H4M ignition coils are individual for each candle. They usually go over 200,000 km (from 700 rubles for an analog or about 3000 rubles for the original).

Transmissions

In pair with the engines was a 5-speed mechanics of Renault's own design - JH3, and in later copies - JH5.

In the summer of 2015, the 5-speed Easy-R robot was offered for versions with the weakest 1.6/82 hp. It is a joint product of Renault and German manufacturer ZF. The robot did not last long in the price list.

The 4-band DP2 also appeared in the summer of 2015, but was intended only for 1.6/102 hp.

The Jatco JF015E was available exclusively in the uplifted cross-version of Stepway.

All boxes are relatively reliable and serious problems, as a rule, do not deliver.

Owners of machines with manual transmission often after 100-150 thousand km have to update the dust gum of the left internal SRUS (from 300 rubles for an analog or 2500 rubles for the original). The right anther brings less often (100-500 rubles).

The clutch of the manual transmission usually travels over 150 000 km (11-12 thousand rubles per set). Sometimes a little earlier is given to the squeezing bearing.

A similar resource and clutch robotic gearbox (4-10 thousand rubles for a set plus 5000 rubles for work with adaptation).

The DP2, judging by the experience of operating cars of various brands, runs for a long time. The main thing is to regularly update the transmission fluid. Only electromagnetic valves can require attention after 100-150 thousand km (2-4 thousand rubles plus 4000 rubles for work).

The JF015E also needs regular oil updates. After 150-200 thousand km, repair cases begin to come across, requiring costs in the amount of over 100,000 rubles.

Walking

On the front axle are installed Macpherson struts, and on the back - an elastic beam. The initial version of Access lacks a transverse stability stabilizer. Logan Stepway with a variator due to the large housing transmission received other levers and subframe. Along the way, the clearance decreased by 17 mm (up to 178 mm). In the steering, a hydraulic power is used, and in versions with an H4M motor, an electric hydraulic power. Ball supports travel over 60-80 thousand km (600-2000 rubles). Silent blocks of front levers (300-500 rubles) overcome the threshold of 100-120 thousand km. The original lever in the collection is available for 7600 rubles, and the price tag for analogues starts from the mark of 1500 rubles. Silent blocks of the rear beam in most cases end no earlier than 100-150 thousand km (500-1600 rubles for a Silentblock). Rear shock absorbers usually survive up to 80-100 thousand km, and the front - up to 100-150 thousand km. For the depreciation rack will ask 2-6 thousand rubles. After 100-150 thousand km, sometimes the turn of one of the rear springs breaks off (from 1000 rubles for an analog or 5000 rubles for the original). Front stage bearings may require attention after 100-150 thousand km of run. They change separately from the hub: 900-1500 rubles for a bearing plus 1200 rubles for work. Rear bearings nurse over 150-200 thousand km. They are pressed into the brake drum and also change separately (from 900 rubles). After 100-150 thousand km can make noise external SRUS. The original is only assembled with a semi-axle costing about 25,000 rubles. The hinge of third-party manufacturers can be purchased for 2-9 thousand rubles.

Other problems and malfunctions

The Logan 2 body paint has vulnerabilities. Most often after 4-6 years, swelling and detachment of paint is found in the area of the rear wheel arches. Sometimes there is corrosion and on the front edge of the hood - from its inner side. In addition, often door cards wipe the paint to metal.

After 100-150 thousand km, the steering switch of light often begins to fail (about 3000 rubles). Sometimes it is possible to clean the contact tracks.

After 150-200 thousand km can make noise bearing clutch air conditioner (1300 rubles plus 2000 rubles for replacement).

A little later, the engine of the stove can become sloppy (from 3000 rubles for an analogue or 14 000 rubles for the original).

By this time, the generator can also declare itself (about 9000 rubles for a bulkhead).
