r/TWINGO

My Renault Twingos Engine is making a clacking sound while idling, that you can mainly hear when you're standing in front of the car. (you can hear it in the first 5 sec of the video)

It's not noticeable when driving and doesn't get louder with rpm. Some days it's more noisy and other days it's barely noticeable. Also it doesn't really depend on the engine temperature, I once heard it after taking a 100km road trip.

Any ideas what it could be or how to narrow it down to a component? I'm good with tools and have worked on motorcycle engines before:)

Almost twenty years ago I bought my first car. It was a crashed mk1 twingo, with the canvas top. I had been looking for a good specimen to get as a third car, for a Sunday drive. Bought this 2001 model, was owned by a single person for 25 years and is in great condition. Really low milage which really shows especially in the interior condition. AC works, roof has no leaks, overall a great bar. I've done small things to it, alloys, tires, shocks, some interior detailing, a mask and a side panel with faux patina (to remind me of my crashed first car which looked like this). I have kept the original white panel and swapped it for this one that I painted myself. Really happy with my purchase, I plan to keep this car and maybe it will become my son's first car someday.

Twongi got to meet it's predecessor, I'm keeping it yellow

Habe das TA Technix Gewindefahrwerk verbaut. Ich finde er ist noch zu hoch und würde ihn gerne weiter runter schrauben, jedoch habe ich bei dieser höhe schon das problem dass die Reifen hinten schleifen wenn das Auto voll beladen ist (4 pers.).
Hat jemand das gleiche Fahrwerk/Problem oder Erfahrungen damit gemacht ? Freue mich über tipps :)

So I got my new Renault Twingo E-Tech 2026 4 days ago and I'm in love. However, as you may know, most modern EV from Renault offer the service from their voice ai assistant Reno.

So I was playing around with this and at some point I asked "What can you tell me about this car?"

And my Renault Twingo Reno identifies itself as a Renault Zoe (depending on the question also sometimes as a Renault Megane E-Tech). Further questions lead to the information, that's it database is from October 2023, and it was not able to tell me about the new Renault Twingo E-Tech from 2026. While I know a lot of stuff about the car, obviously it would be nice, if someone is interested in the car, to let it speak for itself.

Can you update Reno? I haven't found an option yet, maybe I'm blind.

So is my car trans and changes identity or will it identify as a Twingo? xD

Hello dear twingo lovers

I’m going on a roadtrip with my 99’ twingo next week, but starting to get second thoughts. I’ve never driven this far in my twingo before and I don’t know if it will hold up the whole trip, do you have any tips before the roadtrip?

Note, the radiator was changed last week so overheating should not be a concern (knock on wood)

I fitted new shocks and -35mm H&R springs to the twingo today, really simple little job and makes a nice difference to the look of it! I plan to change the wheels at some stage :)

I have plenty of other bits left to fit before it goes on a 1000 mile trip in 10 days :)

I worked in the plant during that time (I’m Slovenian). AMA!

cool

The second time in 6 months I’ve gotten a blowout due to unavoidable potholes.

It's LHD and not road legal so you can't test drive it. Apparently RHD cars coming in November.
