Clio 1.2 TCe splutter from idle

[skuzz]

just bought a 2010 Clio 1.2 TCe for the Mrs , it seems to have a little hesitation from idle when you rev it when warm , runs nicely other than that , has only 76k on the clock and has full service history , no check light to indicate anything so not sure where to start , any idea's??? Tia

be throwing the parts cannon at it without plugging in but a couple of things:

if its not been serviced recently then stick a set of plugs in it, even if its had plugs recently make sure its the correct plugs, these run a specific TCE plug and some motor factors supply the normal 1.2 16v plugs instead.

pre cat lambda sensors can cause similar issues.

2 garages told me there's nothing wrong with it , changed the plugs and its totally fixed , morons 10k diagnostics machine doesn't pick up faulty plugs i guess runs like a dream now
