I’ve been holding off posting on the Facebook groups. Dealer is on there.jamcg wrote: Thu Jul 17, 2025 7:37 pm How you tried posting on renaultsport/alpine Facebook pages? As it’s more or less a megane engine there may be some knowledge out there. The dephaser pulleys were a known issue to change on the twingo when I had that, so the vvt stuff could be a possibility on yours
Anyone I speak to about these says the engine is bulletproof. Nobody ever has any issues.
I’ve spoken to Alpine Uk, the Alpine Glasgow master tech, David Life110 Pook and now Rentec. Nobody has ever had an engine issue with these. There is not much information out there on these. It’s not like a Lotus where more or less someone somewhere has seen or had any issues and there is a fix.
