Exhaust Dacia Sandero

Common issues on Dacia Sandero (petrol TCE 90hp or diesel 1.5 dCi) include excessive exhaust noise, leaks, bad odors, and malfunctions related to the DPF (diesel particulate filter) or exhaust pressure sensor. These problems can cause performance losses, increased fuel consumption, smoke emissions, and warning lights on the dashboard.

Key symptoms include:

• Rough or metallic noise at low gears, often louder during acceleration, sometimes near the door or caused by a loose baffle;
• Dull or pot-like noise from loose parts, holes, dents, or internal baffle damage;
• Louder noise on acceleration due to muffler or catalytic converter issues;
• Strong exhaust odors from injector leaks on diesel engines;
• DPF clogging, black smoke, engine limp mode, or pressure sensor faults mainly on 2016 diesel models.

These symptoms can vary by model and engine type.

Frequent causes include:

• Perforations or corrosion, especially on diesel exhausts, causing rattling or clicking noises;
• Loose or missing components like hangers, clamps, and supports leading to metallic noise;
• Gas leaks from imperfect seals that increase noise and reduce performance;
• Diesel-specific DPF clogging and defective pressure sensors needing costly diagnostics and repairs;
• External factors like worn tires or brakes mimicking exhaust noise.

Understanding the cause is essential for proper repair.

Professional diagnosis is necessary. It includes:

• Visual inspection to locate leaks or loose parts along the exhaust line (front, middle, rear);
• Using OBD scanners to check DPF and sensor issues;
• Listening tests to identify specific noises;
• Monitoring engine and temperature signs to detect hidden leaks or faults.

Early diagnosis helps prevent engine damage and lowers repair costs.

Possible solutions include:

• Temporary fixes using sealing paste or silicone and pipe bandages;
• Replacement of the exhaust muffler or damaged parts through specialized services;
• Cleaning and replacement of the DPF and pressure sensor to resolve soot clogging;
• Complete exhaust system replacement if corrosion or damage is advanced;
• Regular preventive checks and use of suitable fuel to extend DPF life, especially on diesel models.

Costs vary; professional service is recommended for best results.
