Renault Sandero is a modern and economical hatchback that meets the most modern requirements. The price of this car is extremely low, which allows it to stand on the stage of the most popular cars on the market. Russian market. The secret of his success is the line economical engines, designed for a large resource of work.

There are currently three various engine volume of 1.6 liters with 8 and 16 valves: 82, 84 and 102 horsepower. Let's get acquainted with them in more detail and consider from all sides.

Small but bold: an overview of the smallest motor in the line

This engine has at its disposal 82 "horses" with a volume of 1.6 liters. It is only offered in basic configurations and is positioned as one of the cheapest and easiest.

Acceleration time to hundreds of engine 1.6 16kl. The layout is impressive: with its low power, it is able to disperse Sandero to the specified figure in just 11.9 seconds. And this despite the fact that instead of direct injection a distributed system operates here. Both 95 and 92 gasoline can be poured into the tank of such a car. True, as practice shows, passport data approximately resemble real ones only if a higher octane is used.

As for power, it is 60.5 kilowatts, which is equivalent to 82 horsepower. At 5500 rpm, the engine produces an impressive 134 Nm of torque, which allows the driver to feel confident during sharp starts and uphill.

According to the manufacturer, maximum speed with this 82-horsepower 8-cl. motor is 171 kilometers per hour. Consumption cannot but rejoice: on 95 gasoline in a city traffic jam, a car will consume a significant 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers, and on the highway, the appetite is almost halved and will amount to “ridiculous” 5.8 liters.

Reviews of motorists who were lucky enough to become owners of Renault Sandero with this engine tell ambiguous about the driving performance of the car. Opinions agree that the motor is clearly not intended for active driving and is more suitable for those who are used to saving money: “I bought a car, mainly for leisurely trips to the country and barbecue in summer time year, so I do not complain about the sluggish dynamics. Yes, the car is really not very sporty, but the consumption cannot but rejoice: it has never exceeded 9 liters in my memory, judging by on-board computer. And for the rest, for 50 thousand kilometers, oil zhor and problems were not noticed, I am satisfied with the car. ”

Middle brother: studying the "golden mean" in the engine lineup

The second 84-horsepower engine is of the greatest interest, as it is in unusually high demand among buyers. this car. At the heart of the design, it has all the same 8 valves and a working volume of 1.6 liters.

The first thing you should pay attention to in 1.6 8kl. motor with 84 "horses" - acceleration time. If you believe the official documentation, with 84 forces, the car reaches 100 kilometers per hour in just 11.5 seconds: almost half a second less than in the case of 82 hp with the unit.

The second, but no less important note for the 82 hp motor is the torque. Already at 5500 rpm, this figure is approximately 128 newton meters, which, oddly enough, is almost a dozen less than in the first case.

The maximum speed that a car equipped with this power unit is capable of developing is 174 kilometers per hour - this is three units higher than that of an 82 hp engine with 8 valves.

The passport consumption of the engine in the urban cycle is rather big 10 liters of 95 gasoline per 100 kilometers. Outside the city, the car promises to consume 5.6, which allows us to judge it as not the most economical option in the entire line.

Reviews of this 82 hp engine are generally positive. The only thing that can be a reason to think is a periodic oil burn, which sometimes begins when the odometer crosses the mark of 120-150 thousand kilometers: “My car of 2012 is equipped with a K7M unit with a capacity of 84 hp. In general, the car does not cause any complaints and goes exactly as I need. The unexpected oil consumption became a fly in the ointment, after the mileage exceeded 140,000. I think this is due to the use of inexpensive oil, but I will not buy this motor again.

"Top" motor in detail

The greatest potential and the highest technical characteristics have an engine with a capacity of 102 hp, having a volume of 1.6 liters and not the usual 8, but 16 valves. The 102-horsepower engine is offered both in tandem with a five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission gears.

Acceleration of a car with a 102-horsepower engine to hundreds of kilometers per hour takes place in a record for Renault Sandero 1.6 16kl. 10.5 seconds. At 5500 rpm on a 102-horsepower engine with 16 valves, a torque of 145 Nm is achieved, and the maximum speed is impressive and, according to the documentation, reaches 16kl. layout of 180 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption in the city, thanks to the use of not 8, but 16 valves, is low and puts only 9.8 liters per 100 kilometers, and outside the city the car will require no more than 7.1 liters.

It is also necessary to change after 15 thousand km, then it is better to combine these works, because it will be easier to turn the crankshaft when checking the belt. The surface of the toothed part of the belt must not have folds, cracks, undercutting of the teeth and delamination of the fabric from the rubber. The reverse side of the belt should not have wear, exposing the cord threads, and signs of burning. On the end surfaces of the belt, there should be no delamination and fraying. The belt must be replaced if traces of oil are found on it.

Timing gear drive:

• 1 - toothed pulley crankshaft;
• 2 - timing belt;
• 3 - roller tensioner;
• 4 - a gear pulley of a camshaft of a drive of final valves;
• 5 - a gear pulley of a camshaft of a drive of inlet valves;
• 6 - support roller;
• 7 - a gear pulley of the pump of a cooling liquid

To assess the condition and replace the timing belt, dismantle the right support power unit.

We remove the protection of the power unit and the right mudguard engine compartment.

We substitute an adjustable stop (for example, a jack) under the oil pan through a wooden block. Without using an adjustable stop, you can slightly lift it with a mounting spatula right side engine (behind the oil pan, leaning with a spatula on the subframe).

Raising the oil pan, we insert a wooden wedge between the subframe and the oil pan.

Using an 18 spanner wrench, loosen the bolt securing the support to its bracket.

We take out from the two holders located on the support bracket, the fuel supply pipe to the rail, the fuel vapor exhaust pipe from the adsorber and the wiring harness.

With the “16” head, we unscrew the three bolts securing the support bracket to the top cover of the timing drive ...

... and three bolts securing the support to the body.

We remove the right support of the power unit assembly with the bracket.

With the “13” head, we unscrew the three bolts and two nuts securing the upper timing cover.

Remove the top timing cover.

Turn the crankshaft clockwise with the “18” head for the drive pulley mounting bolt auxiliary units and visually assess the condition of the timing belt.

You can estimate the belt tension by the location of the indicators of the automatic belt tensioner.

With normal belt tension, the movable pointer should align with the recess of the fixed pointer of the tensioner (for clarity, shown with the lower timing cover removed).

If the movable pointer is offset relative to the fixed pointer:

• counterclockwise - belt tension is not enough;
• clockwise - the belt will be tightened.

In both cases, the belt tension must be adjusted.

To adjust the belt tension, a hatch closed by a lid is provided in the lower cover of the timing drive (for clarity, it is shown on the removed cover).

Pulling up, remove the hatch cover.

Having loosened the tightening of the tensioner mounting nut with the “13” wrench, turn the roller clockwise with the “6” hexagon, pulling the belt.

While holding the roller in this position, tighten the tensioner fastening nut. Having turned the crankshaft two turns clockwise for the bolt securing the accessory drive pulley, we again check the belt tension and, if necessary, repeat the adjustment. Install the removed parts in reverse order.

To replace the timing belt, remove the accessory drive belt.

Remove the top (see above) and bottom timing cover.

To remove the lower cover of the timing drive with the “8” head, unscrew the four bolts of its fastening.

Remove the bottom cover.

When unscrewing the bolt securing the accessory drive pulley, it is necessary to block the crankshaft from turning. To do this, the assistant must engage fifth gear and press the brake pedal. If at the same time it is not possible to unscrew the pulley mounting bolt due to turning the crankshaft, then the shaft must be locked. To gain access to the flywheel ring gear, the crankshaft position sensor must be removed.

To do this, unscrew the two bolts with a “10” head.

We remove the sensor.

We insert a mounting blade through the window in the clutch housing between the teeth of the flywheel crown, designed to start the engine with a starter.

Attention! Be careful not to damage the surface of the teeth required for the operation of the crankshaft position sensor (they are much larger).

Using the “18” head, we unscrew the bolt securing the auxiliary drive pulley.

We take out the bolt with the washer.

Remove the accessory drive pulley.

If it is difficult to remove the pulley, we evenly pry it from different sides with a mounting blade.

On the crankshaft pulleys and camshafts there are no special installation marks.

In order not to disturb the valve timing, before removing the timing belt, it is necessary to set the crankshaft and camshafts to the TDC (top dead center) position of the compression stroke of the 1st cylinder.

To rotate the crankshaft, we screw in place the bolt securing the auxiliary drive pulley by installing a spacer (sleeve or set of washers) between the bolt washer and the end of the shaft.

Attention! Starting from this stage, the work can be done in two ways.

• The first method is “academic”, accompanied by the manufacture of a device, the need to purchase two plugs for holes in the cylinder head, removed by a destructive method.
• The second method is the “folk” one, which allows you to carry out work with minimal labor costs, but requires the obligatory presence of an assistant, high thoroughness of the work and subsequent careful verification of the result. A prerequisite for carrying out work in this way is your confidence that no one has disassembled the engine before you, even to a small extent. Then all the details will be installed in the "factory" positions.

The first way to replace the timing belt of a 16-valve Renault Logan / Sandero engine

To determine the position of the camshafts, it is necessary to remove two rubber-metal plugs from the holes in the left end of the cylinder head.

Remove the air path resonator.

In the center of the plug (rubber array), we pierce a hole with a screwdriver.

Using a screwdriver as a lever, remove the plug from the hole in the cylinder head.

Remove the other plug in the same way.

We turn the crankshaft clockwise by the bolt securing the accessory drive pulley until the grooves on the ends of the camshafts take a horizontal position (located parallel to the plane of the connector of the cover and cylinder head) and are shifted down relative to the axes of the camshafts.

To fix the camshafts when replacing the belt, a tool should be made from a metal plate 5 mm thick (see sketch).

2267–3_Tex_observation.indd

Device for fixing camshafts.

We install the device in the grooves of the shafts.

To check that the crankshaft is in the TDC position of the pistons of the 1st and 4th cylinders, a hole with an M 10 thread is provided in the cylinder block, into which a special mounting pin with a threaded length of 75 mm must be screwed. When the crankshaft is in the TDC position of the pistons of the 1st and 4th cylinders, the finger should rest against the milled platform on the cheek of the crankshaft and block the shaft when trying to turn it clockwise.

Using the “E-14” head, we turn out the process plug from the threaded hole in the cylinder block located on the front side of the block, in the region of the 1st cylinder - under the alarm sensor emergency pressure oil (for clarity, shown on the removed engine).

As an adjusting pin, you can use the upper bolt of the gearbox to the cylinder block (for clarity, shown on the removed power unit).

We screw two M10 nuts onto the bolt and lock them so that the length of the threaded part is 75 mm.

The made fixture - we screw the adjusting pin into the threaded hole of the cylinder block.

When the crankshaft is in the TDC position of the pistons of the 1st and 4th cylinders, the mounting pin 1 will screw into the hole to the end of its thread and rest against the milled platform 2 on the crankshaft web (for clarity, it is shown on a dismantled engine and with the oil pan removed).

In this case, the crankshaft cannot be turned clockwise.

If, when screwing in the adjusting pin, you feel that it has rested, and the end of the nut on the finger does not come into contact with the end face of the boss of the hole in the cylinder block (there will be a gap between the nut and the boss), then slightly turn the crankshaft counterclockwise for the pulley mounting bolt. Then we screw the adjusting pin into the hole of the block to the end (until the ends of the pin nut and the boss of the hole in the block touch) and turn the crankshaft clockwise until the shaft cheek pad stops against the pin.

Having loosened the tightening of the tensioner fastening nut with the “13” wrench, we turn the roller counterclockwise, reducing the tension of the timing belt.

Remove the belt from tension roller…

... and then - from the pulleys of the coolant pump, crankshaft and camshafts.

When replacing the belt, the tensioner assembly and idler must also be replaced.

We unscrew the nut securing the tensioner and remove it.

With a Torx T-50 wrench, unscrew the screw securing the support roller.

Remove the support roller and roller bushing.

Install the new support roller in reverse order.

When installing a new timing belt with arrows on it, orient it so that the arrows coincide with the direction of belt movement (clockwise).

We install the belt on the gear pulleys of the crankshaft, coolant pump and camshaft pulleys.

Then, at the same time, we put the belt on the roller of the tensioner and install the device on the stud of the coolant pump housing.

When installing the tensioner, we insert the bent end of the bracket into the recess of the coolant pump housing.

We turn the adjusting pin out of the hole in the cylinder block. We take out the plate from the grooves of the camshafts.

We turn the crankshaft two turns clockwise for the bolt securing the auxiliary drive pulley until the grooves on the ends of the camshafts match.

We screw the adjusting pin into the hole of the cylinder block to check the correct installation of the crankshaft in the TDC position of the 1st-4th cylinders. If necessary, repeat the installation of the timing belt.

We unscrew the mounting pin from the hole in the cylinder block and install the screw plug in place. Install the removed parts in reverse order.

With light blows of a hammer with a plastic striker, we press new plugs into the holes of the cylinder head.

Further assembly of the engine is carried out in the reverse order. We replace the auxiliary unit drive pulley bolt with a new one and tighten it with a torque of 30 N m, then turn it 80 ± 5 °.

The second way to replace the timing belt of a 16-valve Renault Logan / Sandero engine

We remind you that at this point we have dismantled the crankshaft pulley and have free access to the entire belt and rollers.

For a bolt with washers or a bushing, which is screwed into the end of the crankshaft, in the same way as in the first method, we turn the engine crankshaft and, accordingly, the camshafts - to the position shown in the photo below.

Focus on the position of the Renault signs (diamond). At the same time, the assistant must fix the end of the piston rise in the first or fourth cylinder with a long, thin and, most importantly, clean screwdriver inserted vertically into the spark plug hole of one of the corresponding cylinders.

In this position, we apply marks with bright paint that uniquely determine the relative position of the pulleys.

We no longer turn the crankshaft. Let's move on to marking the flywheel.

In the clutch housing window, use a bright helmet to make a mark on the flywheel and on the edge of the clutch housing window.

So we fixed the position of the crankshaft.

This is where some difficulty lies in wait for us. The fact is that the camshafts, as soon as they are no longer tied by a belt, spontaneously rotate through small angles under the action of the valve springs. While we leave them in those positions in which they themselves stopped. In no case do not change the position of the crankshaft. We replace the rollers and, having previously put the belt on the camshaft pulleys, ask the assistant to tighten the camshafts until the marks on them are exactly aligned.

We remind you that the shafts spontaneously turned only at very small angles.

Moreover, the pulley, which, overcoming the resistance of the springs, must be rotated clockwise (exhaust valve shaft), can be turned with an “18” ring wrench by the pulley fastening nut. (The nut will work in the direction of tightening, which is not scary.) Another pulley often does not require adjustment, and if one is needed (in the direction of unscrewing the nut), then the pulley can be turned with a simple device made from a piece of pipe with holes drilled in both walls at one of the ends at a distance of 55-65 mm. M8 bolts of sufficient length should be inserted into the holes (you can fix them with nuts to increase rigidity). Having hooked the bolts on the spokes of the pulley, with a piece of pipe, as a lever, we turn it to the desired angle.

Litra has two versions, one with 8 valves, the other with 16 valves. In technical terms, the engines differ only in the arrangement of the cylinder head and, naturally, in power. Sandero 1.6 8 valves produces 87 hp (Euro-2) or 82 hp (Euro 5), 16-valve version 102 horsepower.

The eight-valve version of the engine is simpler because it has only one camshaft, but the valve clearance needs to be adjusted periodically. In the 16-valve modification there are hydraulic lifters providing automatic valve clearance. Both Sandero 1.6 engines are also installed on Renault Logan. We will not talk about the 8-valve power unit, since. Let's focus on 16 valve Renault engine Sandero 1.6.

Engine device Renault Sandero 1.6 16V

The power unit is called K4M, it is an atmospheric gasoline, four-stroke, four-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve, with an overhead arrangement of two camshafts. The order of operation of the cylinders: 1-3-4-2, counting - from the flywheel. The power system is distributed fuel injection.

The cylinder block is made of cast iron, the block head is cast from an aluminum alloy. The gas distribution mechanism has two camshafts and 16 valves. Connecting rods - steel, I-section, processed together with covers. The covers are attached to the connecting rods with special bolts and nuts. Piston pin - steel, tubular section. The pin, pressed into the upper head of the connecting rod, rotates freely in the piston bosses. The piston is made of aluminum alloy. The piston skirt has a complex shape: in the longitudinal section - barrel-shaped, in the transverse - oval. Three grooves for piston rings are machined in the upper part of the piston. Top two piston rings- compression, and the lower one - oil scraper.

Renault Sandero 1.6 engine cylinder head- made of aluminum alloy, common to all four cylinders. It is centered on the block with two bushings and fastened with ten screws. A non-shrink metal gasket is installed between the block and the head. The camshafts are driven by a toothed belt from the crankshaft. A valve mechanism with a hydraulic support that automatically ensures backlash-free contact of the camshaft cam with the valve lever roller, compensating for wear on the cam, lever, valve stem end, seat chamfers and valve disc. Spark plugs are installed in the center of each combustion chamber, the valves are V-shaped. Further a photo valve mechanism Sandero engine 1.6 16 valves.

• 1 - Camshaft
• 2 - Candle well
• 3 - Hydro bearing
• 4 - Valve lever

The hydraulic bearings of the valve levers are installed in the sockets of the cylinder head. A hydraulic compensator with a check ball valve is installed inside the body of the hydraulic support. The oil inside the hydraulic support comes from the line in the cylinder head through the hole in the hydraulic support body.

Replacing the timing belt Renault Sandero 1.6 (Renault Logan 1.6) 16 valves

Replacing the timing belt in a 16-valve Sandero / Logan engine quite a complicated procedure, so for its implementation, please be patient and attentive. To begin with, a photograph of a 16-valve timing drive for a general understanding of the design and device.

• 1 – a gear pulley of a cranked shaft
• 2 - timing belt
• 3 - tension roller
• 4 – a gear pulley of a camshaft of a drive of final valves
• 5 – a gear pulley of a camshaft of a drive of inlet valves
• 6 - bypass roller
• 7 – a gear pulley of the pump of a cooling liquid

To replace the timing belt, you need to remove the right support of the power unit, the right mudguard of the engine compartment, by the way, for the convenience of the process, it is advisable to work on a pit, overpass or lift. Unscrew the top cover of the timing drive. Then unscrew the lower timing cover. With the “18” head, we unscrew the bolt securing the crankshaft pulley. Remove the pulley and bottom cover.

In order not to disturb the valve timing, before removing the timing belt, it is necessary to set the crankshaft and camshafts to the TDC (top dead center) position of the compression stroke of the 1st cylinder. To rotate the crankshaft, we screw the crankshaft pulley bolt into place, with the help of it we will turn the engine without removing the belt.

To determine the position of the camshafts, it is necessary to remove two rubber-metal plugs from the holes in the left end of the cylinder head. Under the plugs are the ends of the camshafts with special grooves. See photo

Here in these grooves it is necessary to insert a special metal plate that will block the camshafts from turning. The grooves should be in a horizontal position, as in the photo.

Now you need to block the crankshaft of the 16-valve engine from scrolling. For this, Sandero or Logan has a special technological hole with a plug in the cylinder block under the emergency oil pressure alarm sensor. We unscrew the plug and screw in a suitable threaded bolt. The main thing is that the thread of this bolt should be at least 75 mm. This bolt blocks the crankshaft from turning in the TDC position of the pistons of the 1st and 4th cylinders.

After we have blocked the camshafts and crankshaft at TDC of the first cylinder, you can remove the old timing belt and install a new one. We must say right away that when replacing the belt, it is necessary to change the tension and bypass rollers. We loosen the tension roller nut and loosen the belt tension with a special hedron of the appropriate size. With the help of the same gem, when installing a new timing belt, we tighten the belt. We look at the photo.

After replacing and adjusting the belt tension, do not forget to unscrew the bolt from the cylinder block that kept the crankshaft from turning, and also remove the plate that kept the camshafts from turning. Another important thing, when installing a new Logan / Sandero 1.6 16V timing belt, on which the arrows are marked, we orient it so that the arrows coincide with the direction of the belt. A belt, like all pulleys, rotates clockwise.

This manual will be useful to many owners various models Renault. Since the Renault K4M 1.6 16-valve engine with timing belt installed on Logan, Sandero, Sandero Stepway, Duster, Megan, Fluence and other models of the French manufacturer.

For compact Renault Sandero models, the French manufacturer Renault has provided the following equipment options power plants:

• 1.2-liter "four";
• engine 1.4;
• more forced version with an engine capacity of 1.6.

The last of the indicated units has two versions of the block head:

• 8-valve design;
• more progressive 16-valve mechanism.

All engines with 8 and 16 valves are impressively reliable and will delight you with a remarkable resource. This is confirmed by a galaxy of reviews that have tested the car in practice by the owners.

Despite this pleasant fact, one should not remain silent about the presence of some common problems in engines with 8 and 16 valves. This applies to the "triple" of the unit, as well as unstable operation at idle and during acceleration.

If the working volume is 1.149 cu. cm?

This unit is factory marked "D4F" and is the least voluminous among the engine family. It is endowed with modest power - only 75 hp. sec., which is achieved when the tachometer needle “rests” at 5.5 thousand revolutions. The maximum torque that the engine is capable of is 107 Newtons. This modest value is realized in practice at 4250 rpm.

The power supply system is quite modern, since it has distributed injection in its design. An in-line arrangement of cylinders and a 16-valve gas distribution mechanism are the distinguishing attributes of this unit. Each of the cylinders has a diameter of 79.5 mm. Such an indicator as the compression ratio is 9.8 units.

Note that the motor in question is present only in the second generation of Renault Sandero, including the Stepway version. The timing is driven by a belt, and two camshafts are located in the design of the block head.

Important! One should not neglect the need to comply with the regular intervals for replacing the belt, since when it suddenly breaks, there is an uncontested "meeting" of 8 and 16 valves with pistons, which involves the owner's wallet in a "game" with an intriguing name " overhaul»!

Many owners of the 1.2-liter Renault Sandero, including the Stepway version, noted the “sluggish” dynamics of the car, but practical users this modification enjoy modest fuel consumption. According to the manufacturer's specialists, the resource of the indicated motor is approaching a fantastic "bar" - 1 million km. Here, practice puts everything in its place, since subjective factors of exploitation have a considerable influence on the formation of the resource indicator.

This motor is not without flaws, manifested in the tendency to "troit" or upset the appearance of extraneous overtones.

We pass to the volume of 1.390 cubic meters. cm.

Versions when the 1.4 engine of the 5-door Renault Sandero, including the Stepway version, proudly represented the first generation of the model. The power of these "fiery hearts" is also hopelessly modest. It is equal to 75 "horses" (or 55 kW), which are fully "revealed" at 5500 rpm. The “bar” of torque here is slightly higher (than that of 1.2) and amounts to 112 Nm. This torque maximum is reached at 3000 rpm.

Among design features we highlight the 8-valve timing mechanism. This version of the engine, based on reviews, is more sensitive to fuel quality. This circumstance can provoke the “desire” of the engine to “troit” and not maintain the stability of the idle speed.

The compression ratio here is 9.5: 1. The timing is activated by a belt, which should be replaced with a new analogue every 60 thousand km traveled. The resource of the unit is also significantly large. Its peak, as in the previous version, approaches 1 million km. When the mileage of the car under consideration here becomes “venerable” and “triple” with unstable speeds become permanent attributes of the unit, it is recommended to visit the specialists. First, it is advisable to examine the timing belt drive, since when it is worn close to critical, a jump (by 1-2 “teeth”) is possible, which is likely to provoke the appearance of these symptoms.

Among the unpleasant features of the Renault Sandero car, including the Stepway version, the owners also note an insufficient level accelerating dynamics. Faulty ones will help to aggravate the position of the “pilot”:

• throttle assembly;
• the Lambda probe;
• candles, fuel filter etc.

Hope for a volume of 1.598 cubic meters. cm.

As previously noted, the 1.6-liter Renault Sandero "hot hearts" had 2 design options for the engine heads (according to the number of valves). In view of this, their power parameters are different, namely:

• 82 l. from. (60.5 kW at 5000 rpm) are present in the 8-valve version;
• 102 "horses" (75 kW at 5750 rpm) are "harnessed" by a 16-valve unit.

The cylinder diameter for each of the versions is identical - 79.5 mm, and the compression ratio varies: 9.5 to 1 and 9.8 to 1, respectively.
The torque of the “eight-valve” reaches 134 Nm at 2800 rpm, and the 16-valve versions have 145 Newtons at 3750 rpm in their arsenal.

Both motors are modern and "armed" with an electronically controlled distributed injection system.

Similar to the previous options, the timing drive of these motor versions is activated by means of a belt drive.

Among the unpleasant features, the owners distinguish:

• unstable turns when warming up;
• short breaks during idle move.

Most common causes are failures of sensors: "lambda", idle sensor, DMRV, etc.

Due to the presence of the threat of a broken timing belt that was not replaced in a timely manner, similar to previous versions, we strongly recommend that you do not delay this procedure when the replacement period approaches.

Top volume - 1.998 cu. cm.

The uniqueness of this modification for the European continent lies in its purpose to officially please only Latin American motorists. The debut of the version took place in Buenos Aires. The 2.0-litre Renault Sandero, with its exciting RS logo, already has some serious potential. Its 145-horsepower naturally aspirated engine with the "F4R" index is capable of realizing a serious torque indicator - 198 Newtons. Timing " fiery motor» by analogy is driven by a belt. As a power supply system, there is a multi-point distributed injection.

The design of the block head implies:

• 16-valve version of this node;
• in-line arrangement of 4 cylinders, the diameter of each of them is 82.7 mm;
• the maximum piston stroke is 93 mm;
• the compression ratio will surprise - 11.2 to 1.

So far, premature forecasts should not be made in terms of the resource of this unit due to the novelty of the modification. There is hope that the developer has taken a set of targeted measures to eliminate the shortcomings of the engines indicated here, belonging to the indicated modifications of Renault Sandero.

Let's take an interest in the experience of car owners

1. "Bent down to Renault's choice Sandero with a 1.2-liter unit. Despite many complaints regarding weak traction, I can optimistically note that this modification is optimal for city traffic. The level of fuel consumption, when compared when the engine is 1.4 and the engine is 1.6, is guaranteed to please. The car is easy to carry out maintenance activities. Sometimes it can “troit”, but as a reason I tend to low-quality fuel.”
2. “A couple of phrases about the motor - this is a 16-valve 1.6 engine. Recently, “triples” have become more frequent during warming up. The masters recommend checking the throttle assembly and sensors, which I plan to do in the near future. Generally, Renault car Sandero did not disappoint."
3. “If we compare 1.2 with when the 1.6 engine or even the 1.4 engine, then undoubtedly the palm should be addressed to the latter. A 1.2-liter volume is small, especially the lack of recoil is noticeable on the track or in a long climb. But on the other hand, the units are reliable and resource-intensive, which is good news.”
