How to replace the fuel filter and pump in Dacia Duster 2.0l
According to Renault-Nissan, the fuel filter and pump are capable of working throughout the life of the engine. In fact, with the quality of gasoline sold at our gas stations, Duster gasoline pump repair, replacement or preventive maintenance is done at least once every 40-60 thousand kilometers. Here’s how to check the work of the pump and, if necessary, to carry out the replacement with their own hands.
Signs of Duster fuel pump failure
It may be necessary to change the fuel pump on the gasoline Duster at any time, as soon as it appears:
- popping in the exhaust pipe;
- jerking of the car in motion, if the transmission and automatic transmission are in full working order;
- noticeable loss of power;
- engine does not start at all.
Before removing the gasoline pump, it is worth checking the condition of the fuel filter. On the Duster, the filter is installed under the hood and usually lasts about 100 thousand miles. To work with the fuel filter and the pump it is necessary to depressurize the fuel system. It is done as follows.

Choosing a gasoline pump for a Dacia Duster
The price of the original Dacia Duster gasoline pump (fuel module) is $50-70, depending on where you buy it and the brand. Reviews of Duster owners with gasoline engines incline us to consider these modules in the first place:
- Asam SA catalog number 30290, price about $70;
- Spanish Airtex fuel pump with catalog number 30290, price about $77;
- The original RENAULT module 17 20 243 88R is the most expensive and they want not less than $120-130 for it.
If the diagnostics of the fuel module showed that only the electric motor of the gasoline pump is to blame, there is no point in changing the module completely. Simply install the electric gasoline pump motor from Bosch.
