Advantages: Ride and looks

Disadvantages: Engine misfires

There is a design problem in the engine which retains water/condensation near the coils killing the strength of the spark. I have Nippon Denso coils(my other car is a Toyota and I don't think these parts fail), which I do not suspect as the core problem of occasional sometimes continuous misfiring. I removed the coils myself (simple screw driver set tool) and found out that regularly the plugs where being exposed to moisture mysteriously accumulating in the bore where the coil fits. The design of the bore itself creates condensation or acts as a receptacle to water droplets.

Renault should see into this problem as it makes your car feel like an old tech car.
