Timing chain problems, rough running, carbon build-up and misfire-related faults have also been reported. This does not mean that every Renault 1.2 TCe engine will fail. Some cars run well for years, especially when maintained properly. But if you are buying a used one, or already own one, this is an engine that deserves closer inspection than average.
