Video tutorial

If you hear a noise similar to a knocking coming from the front wheel, especially when driving on uneven surfaces, it is likely that a drop link (also known as a track rod) connecting the anti-roll bar to the suspension arm has been damaged. Replacing this drop link is straightforward and does not require special tools.

Once you have lifted the vehicle and removed the front wheel for better access, simply undo the nuts securing the ends to extract the old drop link and insert the new one.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Dacia Sandero?

The tyre pressure warning light that appears on the instrument cluster of the Dacia Sandero can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver’s door pillar. Once the inflation is complete, navigate through the menu that appears on the instrument cluster to find the option related to the tyres: select this with the OK button, which should then be held down for a few seconds to completely turn off the light.
