Dacia Duster 2021 Gasoline Model: Issues with Headlamp Leveller and Warning Light on Speedometer

Hey there, I've actually been through a similar hitch with my 2019 Renault Kwid. I'd rate my car knowledge as having some experience, 'cause I've dealt with a few issues here and there. Took my Kwid to my local workshop and after a bit of snooping around, they figured out the servomotor in the headlight was defective. Had to shell out about 1040 Euro to get it fixed. Before I throw more details your way, could you let me know more about your Duster? Like, any recent repairs, how many miles on it, stuff like that. Hoping to help you get back on the tracks soon.

Hey there! Thanks for the quick response. My Duster doesn't have any recent repairs, it's been running smooth. The mileage, however, is around 74420 KM. Had the last service not too long ago. Definitely not looking forward to spending 1000+ Euro on fixing this issue though. Hope I can find a more wallet-friendly solution! Any more input from your end is truly appreciated. Cheers!

Hey! I can completely understand your concern about the repair cost. My Kwid had similar mileage when I ran into the headlight problem, so it's quite a coincidence. Often, sensor malfunctions, dirt or grime in the mechanism, or even loose wires can cause the indicators to show up. Since your Duster is a fairly new model, I have a feeling that a complicated issue might not be the reason here. Just to be on the safer side, check if there’s anything obstructing the headlamp. Sometimes, even a small obstruction can lead to such warnings. I'd also recommend checking the wiring connectors and making sure they are secure and clean. If you have basic tools at home, try doing a visual inspection yourself. Might save you a trip to the garage! But of course, if it doesn't look straightforward or if you're unable to figure it out, it's best to go for that professional check-up. Fingers crossed it's nothing too heavy on the pocket. Let us know how it goes!

Appreciate your detailed advice! Sounds like a plan - I'll do an initial visual check and go over the wiring. The tips about obstructions and connectors are really useful, probably something I would have missed. Crossing my fingers for a simple and inexpensive fix. Will definitely post an update on how this whole thing pans out. Thanks for the help. Cheers!
