Hard gear changes, LPG injection warning and hybrid gearbox sealing on the Jogger

Engine / equipment

Dacia Jogger (1.0 TCe, 1.0 TCe ECO-G LPG and Hybrid 140)

Period mentioned

2022–2025

Symptoms

With the manual gearbox, gears that are hard to engage and clutches that fail early; on the ECO-G, an “injection fault” message and warning light; on the Hybrid 140, a gearbox that overheats or misbehaves.

Possible cause described

L’argus’s buyer’s guide records owners of manual versions complaining that gears are hard to engage, which Dacia fixes by reprogramming the engine ECU (campaign EEB3: too little torque reaches the gearbox during the change; according to the Romanian press, clutches damaged by it are replaced under warranty); a 2022 campaign for the “injection à contrôler” message on the LPG versions; and a 2025 one to check the sealing of the 1.6 hybrid gearbox, whose failure can make it overheat or malfunction.

Check for the garage

Ask by VIN whether the EEB3, LPG and hybrid-gearbox campaigns were done; try every gear from cold; look for oil residue under the hybrid gearbox.
