On Logan, after quick-killed native brushes, I put frameless left 60 cm (Trico Tech TT60), right 55 cm (Champion EasyVision EU55). 3 years went to them www.drive2.ru/l/288230376153008125/, but still they are worn out. Then he put SWF Valeo (50cm), Bosch Eco (60cm), and was very unhappy with them www.drive2.ru/l/5853257/ even in summer, what can we say about winter!
The time has come to look for new brushes, I hope to use the previous ones in a warm season, they still clean not very badly!
After another re-reading of reviews and inspection of prices, frameless options for a closer inspection were determined: Valeo, Champion, Trico. There are many complaints about Boshi (probably almost everyone has a fake). It seems like good Alca ... You can also think about SCT and winter Lynx, but I don't plan to take pure winter ones yet, and SCT reviews are not unambiguous ... In general, like on Denso (they were good before when they were produced in Japan, but now they are short-lived (problems begin in 2-3 months), because from Korea, and if you want to order DU055L rubber bands from Japan for them, then write the code DW55GN, infa from here forums.drom.ru/piter/t1151870577-p19.html, are also great rubber bands SWF - prices for rubber bands 600mm (2pcs) vary between 300-500 rubles), although they are already noticeably more expensive than SCT and Alca. Many complaints about Pilenga. Bremax rubs well, but some don't even have enough for the winter! Hola - creak, die quickly, scratch glass (www.drive2.ru/l/2214481). You can't even think about Horse, let alone buy. The Heyner Hybrid are great brushes, but for warm weather ... Nice brushes Masuma (although not Japanese www.drive2.ru/l/2435244). Valeo is one of the best, but their prices are the same as the price ...
And those Champion EasyVision EU that I took before are no longer on sale ...
It's time to look at prices. The cheapest prices ended up in cancon. Valeo (Silencio X-TRM series seems to be the best of this manufacturer) um651 (53cm) - 803r, um654 (53cm) - 617r, um653 (55cm) - 822r, um655 (55cm) - 775r, um683 (58cm) - 878r, um700 (60cm) - 932r. Trico (the Tech series is the simplest, but the quality is quite, I was convinced myself) - tt530 - 401p, tt550 - 455p, tt552 (with additional connectors) - 480p, tt600 - 241p. Champion has smaller series than Valeo and Traiko, but you can still find single pieces of eu53 (529r) and eu55 (400r). Modern options- the same EasyVision series, but with Retro Clip and Multi Clip attachments. At first glance, the difference is only in connectors (in Retro there is only 1 hook, and in Multi - there are 7 of them), who knows more - share it! Retro Clip prices: er53b01 - 385p, er55b01 - 392p, er60b01 - 442p.
As a result, I ordered the proven Trico tt600 (60cm) and Valeo um654 (shikanul until it fell in price presumably due to the removal of the model and its replacement with um651) ...
new purchased brushes in the package
Valeo and Traiko brush labels
I often met with rave reviews about winter (that is, frame in covers) brushes (Lynx LW600, Champion WX55, etc.): a reason to think about the future! And the frame frames that are now standing can be changed for the summer to the Heyner Hybrid.
Met again positive reviews to the Polish brand Kamoka kamoka.pl/ru/asortyment. Regularly, Logan is offered: a set of frameless 27e17, frameless separately 27500 + 27500, frameless separately 26500 + 26500 (frame ones live only 3 months www.drive2.ru/l/7481831). If you choose frameless separately, then you can consider 27525, 27550, 27600, 27625, 27650. I found possibly suitable sets in the catalog: 27a03 (60 + 50), 27a04 (65 + 53), 27a05 (60 + 53), 27a18 (65+ 58), 27a26 (53 + 53), 27a27 (65 + 50), 27b06 (60 + 55), 27b08 (65 + 55), 27c23 (53 + 53), 27d06 (60 + 58), 27e02 (55 + 50 ), 27e04 (53 + 53), 27e08 (60 + 53), 27e12 (65 + 50), 27e23 (65 + 55), 27e27 (65 + 58), 27e30 (65 + 55), 27e32 (60 + 55) , 27f04 (60 + 53), 27f05 (60 + 50), 27f11 (65 + 55). For my Logan, they advise "e", they will be the main ones, since I think that other combinations of letters and numbers with the same dimensions can mean different pressure, right-hand drive or something else ... I wrote in the manufacturer's contacts about options 27b06 (60+ 55), 27e32 (60 + 55), 27d06 (60 + 58), we will wait for an answer.
ALREADY SHARED
Cars of the French concern Renault are among the five leaders among Russian buyers. Qualities such as reliability, low gas mileage and modern appearance attract many domestic motorists. However, the French manufacturer, like others, also sometimes makes mistakes. One of them is the low-quality wiper blades on the Logan model. Of course, few people pay attention to such an insignificant problem, but it is the wipers that eventually become the No. 1 problem for Russian drivers.
1 What is wrong with the wipers of the "Frenchman"
After the first month of operation of Renault Logan, the first thing that catches the driver's eye is the slightly strange operation of the wiper blade. The fact is that on almost all foreign cars washers work synchronously with the wipers. On Logan, the opposite is true. When the wipers are turned on, the washers will not start. Of course, this feature of the wiper blades has its supporters. However, most car owners consider this a big defect, which is very annoying during the operation of a popular foreign car. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem. Moreover, the manufacturer has equipped Logan with everything needed to replace the wipers. The driver is required only to have instructions, wiring and skilled hands.
- Length of wiper blades Kalina
- Chevrolet Cruze Wiper Blades
- How to install the wiper blades
- Autoscanner for self-diagnosis of any car
Another surprise for Renault buyers will be the size of the standard wiper blade. The standard dimensions of these parts are 55 cm each, both for the driver and for the passenger. In this regard, the wipers wipe only an insignificant part of the glass surface, and everything else remains unaffected. It would seem a trifle, but during heavy rainfall a large amount of water flows down precisely from the parts of the glass "ignored" by the wipers. Renault Logan fans even dubbed this defect "snot".
To save your nervous system and get rid of such troubles, consider the most popular options for dealing with the ineffective work of wipers.
2 How to choose new wiper blades on Renault Logan
Increasingly, on various Internet forums, the issue of overcoming gaps in the operation of windshield wipers is being discussed. One of the most effective solutions to this problem is replacing regular wipers with parts. different sizes... The wiper blades are considered optimal, the length of which is 65 cm for the driver's seat and 55 cm for the passenger.
Depending on the manufacturer, the size of the brush may be larger or smaller. However, a prerequisite is that the length of the wiper for the driver must be larger.
When choosing a wiper blade, you also need to pay attention to such a parameter as the design of parts. Frame wipers have proven themselves poorly during winter operation. The owners of such parts often have to pick ice from the holes between the rubber band and the part's frame. If you do not do this regularly, the windshield wipers will slip over certain areas of the glass.
Things are a little different with frameless wipers. Manufacturers of such parts often complete their products with special indicators that notify the driver of wear and tear. At the end of the replacement of standard wipers with frameless ones, it is necessary to remove the protective films from the new parts in order to clearly see the indicators. As they wear, the latter will change their color.
One more important advantage a frameless wiper blade is a tight fit against the glass. Many models of such wipers have individual design features allowing you to adapt to any windshield... Winter variants of frameless wipers are equipped with special protective covers that prevent parts from icing.
An important nuance, which should not be forgotten when buying windshield wipers, is the presence of spoilers. The wiper blades, complete with spoilers, adhere perfectly to the glass at any vehicle speed.
3 We wipe the "snot" Renault Logan by modernizing the trapezoid trapezoid
Refinement of trapezium traction is a rather laborious process that will take a lot of your time. But by doing this job, you will get rid of the "snot" once and for all. To fine-tune the trapezium rods, you will need some tools and experience in welding.
First, we take out the parts that require revision. To do this, we act according to the following algorithm:
- We open the Renault Logan hood and remove the plastic trim, under which is the base of the wiper blades.
- We dismantle the bonnet seal and the plastic grill.
- We see brushes in front of us. Their position is worth remembering, so that you can later install them in place in the same way.
- We remove the leashes of the wipers. To do this, gently pull them towards ourselves.
- We dismantle the plastic pads that are under the leashes.
- A pin opened in front of us, from which we unscrew the nut and remove the washer.
- Turn off the wiper motor block and unscrew the bolt holding it.
- Unscrew the nut and washer on the wiper arm.
- Dismantle the lever by pulling it slightly towards you.
Then we take out the rod from the hinge of the lever and mark the cut point on it. To make the wiper blades work more efficiently, it is better to cut about 5-8 mm of metal between the bend of the rod and its fastening. After the cutting procedure, we weld the pieces of traction back. We check the seams for irregularities and if there are any, we carefully remove them by grinding. After that, we collect all the parts in reverse order.
After the work done, Renault Logan wiper blades will completely wipe the windshield, regardless of the intensity of precipitation.
French wiper blades budget car Renault Logan installed at the factory by the manufacturer often does not meet customer requirements. However, there are many types and models of these accessories on the market. The owner is left to choose the best device, based on the size, type and their preferences.
Reasons for replacing these parts
A feature of the work of standard wiper blades on a Renault Logan car is the asynchronous operation of the wiper blades and, which annoys many motorists. Also, the length of the brushes is 55 centimeters both from the driver's side and from the passenger's side, which does not have the best effect on the level of visibility in rainy weather.
Having a small area for cleaning Renault glass, standard brushes, in addition to ineffective work, cannot cope with heavy precipitation, which can subsequently lead to a traffic accident.
Taken together, it is these reasons that often lead the owner to a decision to replace standard brushes with parts of a different design and manufacturer. The inefficiency of standard parts is detailed in numerous videos on the Internet.
Types of brushes
One of the solutions to the problem of the work of standard wipers on Renault Logan may be to replace the driver's accessory with a longer, better part. Different sized wipers can be used on a car, however, the driver's device should always be longer for more effective cleaning of the glass area.
So the size of the driver's part for the most effective work should be 65 centimeters, and the passenger part 55 centimeters, this will have the best effect on the operation of the entire structure.
This proportion will allow for a larger cleansing area.
There are several types of these accessories on the market for car wipers, including:
- Frame construction of wipers for Logan. This type of part is installed at the factory and has standard size and is also widespread in the market. This type was the first to appear on the market and began to be serially installed on cars. Until recently, it was considered the only one and, accordingly, the most effective. The advantages of this design include low cost and relative reliability, consistent with the price. The negative aspects include low efficiency when working in winter period time. Due to flaws in the system, the efficiency of work at low temperatures is reduced, and given the low cost and low-quality rubber, cleaning the windshield can take a long time. On expensive models in this design, rubber products have high quality however, efficiency problems persist in winter.
- Frameless wipers are the next step in the evolution of these accessories. Their design, as the name implies, lacks a steel frame, which makes it possible to more effectively clean the windshield in any weather. The obvious and biggest advantage is their clamping properties: unlike frame wipers, wipers of this form fit tightly to the windshield, which cannot but affect their efficiency in a positive way. TO negative sides the higher cost applies first of all.
- Combined wiper system for Logan. This technology includes elements of both frame and frameless brushes. It appeared on the market relatively recently and is one of the most effective, but also the most expensive. The price of famous brands for brushes of such a system can reach several thousand rubles. Also, in terms of their size, they are no different from previous models. Their high efficiency can be judged on the basis of many videos posted on the Web.
When choosing the type of wipers, the owner relies on his material capabilities and the level of efficiency of these devices. The main criterion when choosing should be best quality products, regardless of the type to which they belong.
Refinement of standard brushes of the Logan car
The phenomenon of ineffective work of standard parts on this car gave birth to its own name - "snot" on the windshield - this means that standard devices, unable to cope with work in adverse weather conditions, do not completely clean the surface of the windshield. Therefore, many owners prefer to replace parts with their revision.
Trapeziums and trapezoidal parts are most often refined. For revision, it is necessary to disassemble the entire wiper system (this will require some tools and repair skills). The dismantling process takes place in several stages:
- first, you need to remove the plastic trim under the hood of the car and the cover seal along with the plastic grill that blocks access to the entire system;
- then it is necessary to dismantle the wiper leashes and their plastic linings;
- then it is necessary to turn off the system engine and unscrew the bolt holding it;
- then use a wrench to remove the wiper arm or the entire system.
After that, it is necessary to mark the place of the cut (this cut point must be determined better between the bends of the thrust and remove 5-7 millimeters). After cutting, the remaining pieces must be welded.
As a result of this laborious procedure, the efficiency of the standard devices will increase, and the notorious "snot" will no longer pester the owner. This method is the most laborious to repair, the easiest way is to remove the entire structure by unscrewing two nuts and replace the wipers with new ones.
The size of Renault Logan wiper blades becomes a very important parameter in the event that you decide to replace standard wipers with more modern and sophisticated ones. The windshield cleaning system consists of the following structural elements:
- cleaner brushes;
- brush drive mechanism;
- washing lines;
- a tank for storing washer fluid;
- the pump for supplying fluid for washing.
For a number of reasons, installing new wipers on the Logan is one of the most common operations performed by the owners of this model immediately after purchasing it. Typically new wipers perform significantly better than standard wipers and have a much longer lifespan.
Reason for replacing the wipers
The main reason for replacing wipers Renault logan- their strange work, which has long been attributed to the generic "diseases" of cars of this brand.
The fact is that most modern cars are armed with such a windshield cleaning system in which the windshield wipers work synchronously with the windshield washer.
Renault Logan wipers do not start the washer in the on position, as a result, the glass is cleaned dry until the driver manually starts the device into operation. Naturally, this creates certain inconveniences when driving, since the driver is distracted from the road, which can lead to the most dire consequences.
In addition, the design of standard wipers has another unpleasant feature - these are the same brush sizes for both the driver and the passenger. They are 55 cm long. Such a length of the brushes does not allow them to completely clean the windshield of the car, since they simply do not capture a small part of it, on which water accumulates. Renault Logan fans even gave a nickname to this phenomenon, calling it pejoratively "snot".
Car owners claim that the washer reservoir is installed here too small, as a result of which the washer fluid quickly runs out in bad weather. At the same time, removing the washer reservoir presents significant difficulties due to its inconvenient location.
Selection of new wipers
You can get rid of these problems by installing new wipers of a different size on the Logan, as well as by synchronizing the work of the wipers with the washer. Experienced car owners are advised to purchase these accessories, the size of which will be 65 cm for the driver's seat and 55 for the passenger. The shape, device, method of attaching the wipers can be any, but remember that their size should be different in any case.
What kind better wipers for Logan, this is a controversial issue, since each driver chooses a design for himself. So, some people like it when the brushes are more rigid, while others prefer designs that have shields in service. However, when choosing these accessories, one point must always be taken into account: on Renault Logan, frame wipers have some problems during operation in winter. This is due to the fact that moisture can freeze between their rubber pad and the frame.
In this regard, when the wipers are replaced, it makes sense to purchase frameless brushes. The fact is that the structure, which does not have a frame, allows the cleaning surface to be attached to a rather complex structure with several points of support, which is called a "rocker". As a result, the brushes do not freeze to the glass, ensuring that the wiper is always ready for work.
Besides, frameless wipers are armed with a wear indicator for their brushes. From a technical point of view, such an indicator is a strip, which will change color as the brushes wear.
Frameless brushes, as a rule, are small in size, tightly pressed against the glass and are armed with spoilers that prevent them from being blown off by the incoming air stream.
Replacing the wiper blades with Renault Logan is easy enough. The fact is that there is a special latch on the rod of this device. By turning the brush in a special way, you can open the latch and remove it. Installing a new brush is done in the same way. Replacing non-standard wiper blades is easy, since their attachment point is no different from standard samples.
At the same time, the main "disease" of the regular Logan wipers - the "snot" can be defeated only by upgrading the trapezoidal trapezoidal rods, which will allow the brushes to capture areas of the windshield that are inaccessible to a standard accessory. In this case, you will have to resort to welding.
To do this, after dismantling the rod, from 6 to 8 mm of metal is cut from it between the fastening of the rod and its bend. Next, the remaining pieces are welded together, and the seam is cleaned from irregularities. After that, the thrust returns to its place.
In principle, these improvements are not difficult, and they can be done independently, in contrast to the modernization of the glass washer system. So, for example, some craftsmen change the washer pump, increase the size of its reservoir, change nozzles, etc.
The choice of wiper blades is essential when preparing your car for the new season. What you need to remember when repairing and replacing wipers installed on Renault Logan, what solutions are offered to modernize the standard design and how to make it work better, read this article.
Right choice
Car owners are familiar with such a phenomenon when the wipers make the usual sweep when the brush switch is turned on again, but instead of a crystal clear space without water, traces of insects and streaks, dirty glass is obtained through which you can hardly see what is happening on the road.
This means one thing - the wiper blades have lost their resource and require urgent repair or replacement. Here the question arises: which models are better? The train of thought, as a rule, begins with an examination of the original wipers. Renault Logan claims: factory parts with suitable size differ in quality and long service life in comparison with analogues.
Renault Logan has a standard brush length of 508 mm. Original detail has a frame structure. This version of the wiper model contains many movable metal elements.
When you press the switch again, part of the brush can easily fall off and cause a lot of inconvenience to the owner of Renault Logan.
Moreover, even when choosing optimal size wiper blades, frame original wipers are extremely poorly functioning in winter. All movable joints simply freeze to each other, and the rubber squeegee loses its flexibility and adheres extremely poorly to the glass. The way out of the situation is to periodically spray the brush frame and leash with penetrating grease, but this will not solve the problem for a long time. 
Another drawback of the standard design of the Renault Logan is the frankly unfortunate size of the brushes. First of all, troubles begin in the rain, when water flows abundantly from the roof onto the glass, and you have to press the switch more and more often, trying to remove the excess water.
At Renault Logan, in the rain, drops begin to flow down the middle of the glass, and due to the peculiarity of the original design, it is impossible to get rid of this.
Exit found
Experimentally Renault owners Logan found out that the droplet appearing on the glass is due to the peculiarities of the work of both the brushes themselves and the leaders on which they are installed. The first way out of the situation does not imply refinement: the size of the wipers is changed so as to displace the water flow driven by the passenger brush. Thus, the whole system starts to function several times better, and the problem disappears.
For such a modernization, Renault Logan does not have to change the parameters of the leashes or the brushes themselves: it is enough to select new parts so that the wiper on the driver's side is longer, and the passenger wiper is shorter, as prescribed by the Renault Logan manufacturer. In practice, the brushes work better and the driver's side windshield is cleaner than before.
The way that it is better to apply, having only a certain tool and a significant amount of time, is to repair and refine the trapezoid of the wipers. To do this, you will need to remove the standard Logan leashes from the mounts, directly dismantle the trapezoid for repair and shorten it.
First, you need to remove the brushes from the standard mounts with an ordinary wrench. As a rule, the nut gives in easily and can be unscrewed without much effort.
Having removed the leashes and brushes, you should dismantle the plastic decorative casing under the Logan glass, which you can pry off by hand.
The most difficult stage - revision - is carried out as follows. First, you need to remove the trapezoid and cut off at the place where its bend begins. Then the straight section is shortened by 6-8 millimeters, and welding is performed. The weld is cleaned and the structure is reassembled in reverse order. When the switch is operated again, there will be no more drops on the glass.
Modernization of trapezium traction
The laborious process of reworking the trapezium traction will take a significant amount of time, but will allow Logan owners to forget about the hated "nozzle" once and for all. Successful rework will require some welding skills.
You can remove the rod from the body by following these steps:
- Open the hood of Renault Logan and remove the plastic cover, under which the base of the brushes is hidden.
- Remove the bonnet seal and plastic grille.
- Now you need to remember the position of the brushes, so that when reassembling, set them exactly in place, otherwise they will not work.
- Remove the leashes: pull them towards you, swinging a little.
- Remove the plastic pads that were under the leashes.
- Unscrew the nut from the opened pin and remove the washer.
- Disconnect the wiper motor unit.
- Remove the wiper motor mounting bolt.
- Unscrew the nut and washer on the lever.
- To remove the lever, pull it up with two screwdrivers.
- Remove the rod from the lever pivot.
On the removed rod, mark the place of the cut. For normal operation of the brushes, it is necessary to cut from 6 to 8 millimeters of metal between the fastening of the rod and its bend. After marking, cut off the excess. We weld the pieces of traction together and process the seam so that there are no irregularities. In conclusion, we return the thrust to its place and collect everything that was previously disassembled.
Summing up
Replacing and repairing wiper blades on a Renault Logan is a really important process. The safety of driving in bad weather and comfort of movement, to which the manufacturer has been paying more and more attention, depend on the correct operation of the parts.
