Exhaust Dacia Duster

Dacia Duster owners frequently report issues related to the exhaust system such as louder noise, rattling sounds, unpleasant smells, or premature breakage. These problems are often caused by wear, corrosion, or specific faults in petrol or diesel engines (especially dCi 110 DPF models).

Typical signs include:

• Louder than usual noise due to faulty exhaust flap actuator, holes or corrosion in muffler, detached internal parts, excessive rust, leaks, or loose mounts.
• Specific sounds such as rattles caused by rust or loose parts, dull rumbling from holes or perforations, clacks related to DPF problems, and pronounced noise on acceleration linked to muffler or catalytic converter issues.
• Other indicators like reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, blue smoke, catalytic converter warning light, or exhaust smells inside the cabin from manifold joint cracks.

Examples include replacement of the rear exhaust part at 60,000 km on a 2018 petrol Duster and DPF clacking in diesel dCi 110 models.

Main causes include:

• Wear and corrosion weakening parts like silencers and exhaust pipes, including holes or deformation from impacts.
• Mechanical failures such as faulty exhaust flap actuators, defective DPFs, manifold or joint leaks, and missing or loose mounts and clips.
• Early issues before 100,000 km are common in both diesel and petrol engines, with diesel models showing louder noise if the silencer is worn.

Regular inspections and maintenance are recommended to prevent severe damage.

Diagnosis involves a thorough visual check from collector to silencer for holes, corrosion, and leaks, plus an airtightness test. A professional diagnostic is advised for accuracy.

• Temporary fixes include silicone paste for leaks or pipe wraps.
• Replacement actions: full silencer replacement by specialist services, welding or exchanging rear/mid pipes, professional checking or replacement of exhaust flap actuators, and repair of DPF or manifold cracks.
• Preventive maintenance includes regular checking of tightness and mounts and fitting new silencers to reduce diesel noise.
