Dacia Lodgy 2019 - Troubleshooting Dimming Lights and Unusual Warning Light: Seeking Advice and Workshop Experiences

Hey! I had a somewhat similar situation with my 2017 Dacia Logan. I'm not a car expert but have some experience dealing with issues like this. Took my ride to a local workshop where they ultimately had to replace the engine control unit but we also faced issues around it not being programmed to the car. Cost me around 240 Euro to clear up the mess. Once it was sorted out though, everything was back to normal. Can you share more about your car's condition, mileage, and any unusual usage, just to get a better idea of what you might be dealing with? Hope we can sort your Lodgy's problems quickly!

Hey, great to hear that you got your issue sorted! Just to give you more info, my Lodgy has clocked 102,805 km so far, and I haven't experienced anything remotely close to this before. I do take it for regular servicing and the latest one was pretty recent but this issue popped up a few days after the service. I don't use the car for anything unusual, just for the daily drive to work and occasional long trips. Really hope it's not a major issue. Thanks for the help!

Hey, sounds like your Lodgy is acting up a bit after clocking a fair amount of mileage, huh? Kinda similar to my Logan. Couldn't agree more that regular servicing is all-important, even if it seems like it comes up with gremlins now and then. I'm no expert, but given your car's mileage and usage, if it isn't the software like you initially suspected, it might be worth checking some wear-and-tear parts. Things like the alternator or the drive belt could be causing the dim/flickering lights and the weird warning light. When my Logan was playing up, along with the engine control unit, these were some of the other parts my local workshop inspected and tested too. Just a suggestion though, best bet would be to get it properly diagnosed by a professional. This way you can avoid any guesswork and potentially save more on unnecessary part replacement costs. Keep us updated on the progress. And fingers crossed it's nothing major!

Hey, your advice is bang on! Yeah, it has done a fair bit of mileage and things might be showing their age a bit. I hadn't thought about the alternator or drive belt, but it makes sense that they could be causing these issues. I think you're right about avoiding any guesswork and getting a professional diagnosis - better safe than sorry! I'll book an appointment at the workshop for a complete checkout. Will certainly keep you updated on what they find. Thanks a bunch again for your help!
