RS Twingo Scuttle flaw that damages cylinder heads and spark plugs

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Many, many thanks for this info. I have exactly the same car, I absolutely love it and I do totally spank it on the moors down here in Devon. This is what KZbin is about with cars, sharing our knowledge to help others. Even my coil issue on my TR7 helped someone out in Canada with a 1985 BMW CSi and resolved their issue. Great stuff buddy!

Had my 133 for 5 years. Had a mifiring 4th coil and the 4th spark plug snap in the engine not long after i brought it. So this video was interesting. I'm guessing as i have since used it everyday the heat from the engine has prevented too much water pooling up.

i do have the same problem with my twingo rs and i made myself a little engine cover out of a plastic shelf and pluged the drain hole on the plastic piece right above the hot point. it gets the job done but it definetly isnt pretty. I bought o tub of basic bathroom silicone sealer and im going to use it on it. but ill have to fight it every time ill take those pieces off...and on a cup chassis its pretty often...she eats suspension parts every year

another problem that is in this category is that the wings are open at the top and she just collects leaves and other stuff...for someone that keeps their twingo outside, we have to take these plastic panels off at least once a year to prevent rust

this, for me, is the absolute opposite of fun maintenance but at least i dont have to take the engine out every spark plug change or smt. i love this car and ill build thru every problem. im building a garage, ill do all the maintenance...cuz is such a lovely car
