  After sitting in my Renault Espace with the air con on (for 20 mins) a warning light then came on saying "battery charge fault". I had the car checked and the battery is fine.

• Renault 1.2 Turbo? 2 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Hi all, Has anybody heard about this new engine 1.2 Turbo petrol engine from Renault, which will used in the Clio & possibly the new Twingo? A salesman told me the other day it has the power of the 1.6, the torque of the 1.4 but with the economy of the 1.2 engine! Now that sounds like a really good engine very impressive, similar technology to VAG's 1.4 turbo, but will the long-term reliability suffer packing in around 100 bhp in a 1.2 engine?
