My Dacia smells strongly of gas

Why does this happen and how to avoid being scammed at the shop?

🚨 Don't change parts randomly

When a Dacia smells strongly of gas, it can be due to multiple factors: from a simple dirty spark plug to a catastrophic failure in the injection pump or catalytic converter.

To avoid being scammed with an incorrect diagnosis, it is vital that you read your vehicle's fault memory before leaving it in the hands of strangers.
