A call for help to all who are familiar with drive shafts, wheel bearings, etc.: I already noticed deep running noises at my Twingo C06 (year 94), especially at the front right – but nobody could tell me what it was all about until today. At that time, two professional mechanics (!) had said that the transmission was over – so I installed a new (used) (!) – then it was said that the wheel bearing at the front right was to blame – so also changed – But now the noise is still there and with it. Meanwhile it is so loud that when I drive it slowly becomes murky… It is a rather deep tube or howl that especially at 30-40 and 80-100 km/h is very loud, and especially loud at left curves, whereby it disappears almost completely with right curves (that’s why I think it would have to come from the right side). I guess now on the right drive shaft, but I have two questions: 1) How do I recognize if the drive shaft is over? The rubber cuff is OK, fat is also dr in! 2) Shouldn’t the sound of a defective drive shaft be more of a crack – especially (in my case) with strong lens curves? I had a defective drive shaft at another car and that sounded quite different… 3) What do I have to pay attention to when I buy a new drive shaft at the junkyard? How do I see if it’s still okay? Thank you for every useful hint!

Hello together, have a problem with our Twingo. I’ve already found some topics but somehow some topics are not dealt with further or there are other problems. Our Twingo year 4/1999 1.2 58 HP has the problem that the speedometer jumped to zero. After a little search in forums often came the white that in such cases the speedometer should be defective. Have bought a new one at Ebay, but the problem is still there. Now actually comes the funny part of the request…. You can put almost the clock afterwards. After about 5 minutes it shows no more speed and there are 0 km/h … If we park somewhere …. at the shopping or elsewhere, and then re board the speedometer goes again, but nacg about 5 minutes again the same problem ! Is there somehow a relay for what could possibly be defective ? How is the process of this data coming from the dealer ? go over the ECU ?? Are unfortunately a little desperate and hope on help. Lg

Hello, I bought a Twingo for my wife three weeks ago (Bj. 10/2000; 43 KW; 86TKM ). After a long drive I noticed some problems. On the one hand, the engine starts to jerk insanely when it is in the lower speed range (gas only slightly pressed). It feels like it jumps out of its suspension immediately. Then the engine runs in idle a bit, but does not run out. For a G-Kat car the exhaust gases also stink quite well and economical is the lean When I looked into the engine room a few days ago, I noticed that the plug was not attached to a sensor (see pictures). What does this sensor have for a function? When I connect the plug to the sensor, the motor runs round at first, but after a minute it turns up at idle (about 2000 revolutions) and goes out at load (then the indicator lights light up). Where could I find the error? Could it be this sensor? Many greetings Jeffrey
