2WD or 4WD, 85 or 110 PS?

Does the CEL also come on?
U said that it also goes into `limp mode'. How long does it stay in that mode or is it brief & gets OK after stopping & restarting?

The codes are not clear. What scanner or App did u use? U need a scanner w/ manufacturer specific software.
Do U have a BT OBD adapter & are u familiar w/ using OBD diagnostic Apps?

Right now I'm thinking it's a diesel injector problem.

 

Hello , Thanks for the reply. What us CEL?
Limp mode remains until you turn the car off and on again.
It's a 4wd Diesel.
Thank you.

 

I too have a 4WD Duster.
I have 2 stand-alone diagnostic scanners.

CEL (check engine light). Synonyms: OBD light, but actually it is an 'Emissions Fault Code' light. This light normally goes off only after starting. Does this light also come on, may be after the other 2?

U didn't mention what scanner u used & one more question. Only then I can try to help u with whatever u have & what u need to do.

The problem is not ABS. It's the injector. But I need a proper scan result to advise.

I'm in India, +5.30 hrs GMT. Leave your reply. I'll answer tomorrow.

 

I will contact the garage that did the scan to find out what scanner was used.

 

It's the zigzag red light and the light with the Skidding car image ( orange). Not the engine management light.

 

The 'zigzag orange & red light' (also with beep) are electrical/ electronic fault warning lights.
The 'skidding car image' is referred to is the Traction Control or ESP light. There is OFF & ON (ON not displayed). U have a switch at the level of the 4WD control knob w/ which u can switch the TC off or on. The next switch plate will be blank for u. For me that is the ECO mode. When the TC light is displayed as a warning light it cannot be switched off. (They should have used the TC OFF indicator rather than ON as a warning light!).

If there is an ABS problem, the ABS light will come on & brakes will work in non ABS mode. In your case the TC light has come on because u went into limp mode. However a temporary code will be set in the ABS module.

Renault codes are `DF' codes. There should be 4 numerals after the 'C' you noted. If it's C1422 or C0422 it may be a problem w/ the crankshaft sensor.

Since u don't have the resources to troubleshoot & your local garage probably doesn't have a good scanner & has not been able to clarify & rectify the problem, u should go to a better workshop or the DAC. Since it has occurred several times the faults would be stored in ECU memory.

 

Thank you.

 

I took to a Dacia garage, and the fault "is a restriction in the fuel supply". They changed the filter and primer bulb and cleaned out the tank. The fault remains. It seems only to occur at high speeds of 65/70mph. I can drive the car very hard in a low gear at high revs...this in theory should use more fuel and cause the fault if it was a restriction in fuel supply. The fault seems generated by speed . If I drive in high gear but with low revs (low fuel consumption) the fault occurs.Anybody have any ideas?

 

Dacia robbed you. That diagnosis of fuel supply restriction literally makes no sense

 

I know...it does not help tho< as I still have the problem. It seems speed related to me.

 

I know this thread is old but my misses duster had this problem and believe it or not it was just an under inflated tyre. Does your tyre light come on as well. Hers also a 2015 but only 2wd
