[QUOTE="aaronfife, post: 176034, member: 4123"] I understand you have the facelift model but I had exactly this last week on my 58plate RS. Got it diagnosed and flagged up that coil 1 was faulty due to water getting into the spark plug hole. Decided to replace all 4 separate coilpacks and car runs completely fine now. Not much point just replacing the faulty one as others will go at some point. This weekend I'm looking into sealing the slam panel when water comes through the vents and into the engine to a certain degree so I don't need to fork out £132 on this again! Mines only done 39k and not impressed this has to be fixed already! Renault apparently know it's a fault and common problem but unless your car is under warranty, there isn't much hope to Renault paying for it. Which frustrates me on such a low mileage example RS! Crazy. Could be different on your model but I understand this is VERY common problem on MK1 Twingo 133's and happened to me just there :( I had the engine management light flash every now and again before taking my car into my mechanic, so same symptoms. My traction control light on the rev counter also flagged up permanently on the way to the garage as well if this happened to you or not? Lack of power/stuttering/change of exhaust noise/puffing/sounding like the car was running on 3 cylinders (which technically it was), were the causes of my coilpack dying if that's any help! [/QUOTE]
