Leaking scuttle panel

[singlespeed]

Being a bit of a n00b for actual engine components, if for instance only one of your ignition coils had been corroded, would it still be necessary/best to replace all four?

with the spark plugs, it's probably worth while doing the set, even if only one of them is damaged. If you remove plugs, the compresion sealing ring may not seal as well as it should if you re-use them.

The coil packs shouldn't need replacing unless they fail. Water tracks and rusty deposits down the sides or corrosion on the contacts will reduce the power being delivered to the spark plug. So, replacing a single one would be ok (imo), so long as the others were in good condition. However, replacing all 4 on a higher milage car may be good practice.

Agree with Neil. I wouldn't ever change just one plug but I don't see reason why all 4 coils need changing unless they're at that point anyway or were all damaged

Trust the French to design something that doesn't work properly... :roll:

Karl has given me excellent service i the past, and his price for the plugs is cheaper than Camskill or Opie.

As an addition, looks from the last signed in date that Toni hasn't been on in a while, but remembered seeing this post ages ago about her having a problem due to water in the spark plug(s)

Araf to be fair that aint a fix... Thats a bodge...

I have the same watermarks on two of my old spark plugs, but no heavy corrosion.

 

[MovingShadow]

Checked and haven't seen any watermarks on mine (and it was raining)

Cheers Neil.

So no surprises renault uk say this is NOT an issue or design fault of any kind, they are however, going to communicate with the dealership to ensure this is resolved.

 

[JamesGT]

Think i may check mine at lunch, got squeeky bum now lol

 

[maggi200]

Silly question. Those of you with the issue. Have you logged this with Renault uk? Because their response of it being a non issue or design fault leads me to believe no one has!

 

[Daveyb133]

This happened to mine.

Renault were going to charge me for it. I spoke to RUK and they covered the whole thing, i hadnt had the car long either, was at about 15k miles i think.

 

[maggi200]

Cheers Davey. Do you have logs of who you spoke to? I'm providing as much evidence/info as I can to them so they might actually notice this isn't just mine to help future owners.

I spoke to so many, it was unreal, lost track, it all went with the car. I cant remember off the top of my head

 

[maggi200]

Ok what was your reg so I can get them to look at it? In fact I've linked them this thread and all sorts so hopefully they'll take notice

Cheers. Ive noted it and will be asking Hayley at RUK to see what's logged on that with them if it's never been an issue before
