That's the problem with most diesels these days. There's a spot between 80 - 120k when they can cost BIG money. BMW and Merc timing chains, Injectors (everything), Adblue pumps, EGR, DPF, Injector seals you name it. Diesels over 80k are always a gamble. sometimes you win others you don't
My sister runs a Sandero and loves it and no problems so far, will be the same engine and box as the Jogger. I'll look at the Duster when I change for sure.
Whats mpg like? Was wanting to get a petrol then convert to lpg. I see they do this as factory fit option on other models but not the jogger for some reason which is a disappointment
What's up with the CX5? I'm on number 2 and never had any bother, is it diesel? They're very popular here.
My wife had Hyundai Santa Fe's for years as a work car, newer ones had a fair bit of room in the third row.
Hers is bi fuel and thinks it brilliant. Mid 40s mpg, and there's an LPG and Petrol tank so no worries about filling up.
Just google mazda 2.2 diesel problems. The root cause is injector seals and worn injectors causing oil dilution. Also a rivet that drops of in the flap between the wee turbo and the big one.
Yes, iirc its renault drivetrain but seems odd to hear of clutch problems as ud assume a clutch woukd be a fairly standard fitment over many car ranges
Getting time to change, looking for small crossover ,suv , something I can step into not fall into and have to heave myself out. Don't want a ladder to get in either.
I'm not sure the XC fits that brief....
Thats quite a good reccomendation for a budget option thanksMy wife had Hyundai Santa Fe's for years as a work car, newer ones had a fair bit of room in the third row.
Good cars, each update improves them, not big money down here compared to Euro stuff, might be different with you though
I had a quick look around the Dacia forums, seems to be judder when cold rather than the clutch failing. The previous A4 to the latest one had the same problem.
They're fine for long journeys and always were. Most problems were down to misfuelling and then driving them before noticing. Wrong oil put in by back street garages, running on poor / hooky diesel etc. I know of loads that are well over 100k but if you do under 15k miles a year go petrol.
Does the lpg shorten lifespan? Iv been told this but thats mabe just rubbish
The cheapest one is 8k over his budget and even the 1.5 isn't economical.
That I don't know tbh and she's only had hers 1 a year or so. I suspect that aftermarket conversions could have issues ( I'm thinking like the switch from leaded to unleaded and valve sets etc) but the Dacia is a proper factory job. Main problem is availability of autogas but when she bough hers it was same price as the petrol version and there's a garage selling it near by. She came from a 1.1 car and said its loads cheaper to run so it must be cheap.
