Scottish Newbie with FF with CUP 133

[aaronfife]

Hi folks!

Bought myself a 133 RS Full Fat with CUP chassis Twingo a few weeks ago. Travelled 250 so miles to get it and absolutely love it so far! Low mileage example on a 58 plate, standard apart from a Ktec system and Renaultsport gear gaitor and handbrake cover.

One minor issue would be I think the heating resistor pack might be done as 1-3 works as it should but setting 4 is the same power/force as setting 1. If anyone can confirm this and location of it so I can replace would be magic?

Hope there is a few local members from Fife, Scotland? Not seen any 133's up my way so far so seem quite rare here. Anyway... Hope to get useful info on here as with all previous forums in the past and here's a few pics of my 133 RS...

This is a common problem, not an easy fix from what I've seen lovely car, looks great in the pictures even when the weathers so so

Cheers it still works I suppose so not to worry lol

The resistor pack slows down the fan speed, so if its working on 1-3 then the pack is fine. The fan itself is fine too, as it does work. Switch on position 4 would more likely just be the switch being at fault or wire/connector.

Switch could be tested with a multimeter for the switch contacts opening/closing.


Welcome btw

That's a relief as had this problem with an old C2 GT and turned out the whole car heating needed rewired! Which I passed it on as it had too many problems.

Thanks for pointing it out and shall test it soon
