📖Dacia Logan II (2012-2016): a more mature saloon demanding precise engine selection

Dacia Logan Phase 2 (2012-2020)

Launched in late 2012 on an upgraded M0 platform, the second-generation Logan brought refined styling, improved crash safety and modern cabin equipment to the budget saloon class. While standing as an accessible alternative to conventional compact saloons, consistent Dacia Logan maintenance remains essential, as ownership satisfaction depends heavily on matching engine characteristics to daily driving habits.

Powertrains include the simple naturally aspirated 1.2 16V (D4F) with a cambelt kit, the punchy downsized 0.9 TCe engine (H4Bt) and the dependable 1.5 dCi engine (K9K) fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The 0.9 TCe turbo requires rigorous oil servicing to protect its turbocharger and timing chain. The 1.5 dCi remains the king of long-distance frugality, provided it avoids continuous short urban trips that inhibit DPF regeneration cycles.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Significantly improved styling, interior ergonomics and active safety compared to the initial generation.
  • The 1.2 16V naturally aspirated engine is simple, reliable and inexpensive for calm urban driving.
  • The 0.9 TCe turbo delivers brisk around-town performance combined with low emissions and modest fuel use.
  • Exceptional 510-litre boot capacity and comfortable passenger packaging in an economical package.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 0.9 TCe (H4Bt): maintain strict 10,000 to 15,000 km oil change intervals, inspect turbo oil feed lines and check coolant thermostat housing.
  • 1.5 dCi (K9K with DPF): verify regular motorway regeneration cycles, EGR valve cleanliness and common-rail injection smoothness.
  • 1.2 16V (D4F): replace cambelt strictly on time and monitor ignition coil pack and valve clearances.
  • Boot lid and rear sealing: inspect boot weatherstrips and taillight seals for rain water ingress into the spare wheel well.
  • Front running gear: check wishbone silentblocs, anti-roll bar drop links and shock absorbers for knocks on rough roads.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change capped at 15,000 km or 12 months (ideally 10,000 km on 0.9 TCe) using RN0710/RN17 oil.
  • Cambelt kit and water pump replacement every 120,000 km or 60 months on 1.2 16V and 1.5 dCi engines.
  • Diesel particulate filter differential pressure check and diesel fuel filter renewal every 30,000 km or 24 months.
  • Brake fluid renewal and suspension bush inspection every 24 months or 40,000 km.
