Summary of the thread
A 2007 Twingo is experiencing black smoke, erratic engine performance, and unusual noises, leading to suspicions of a defective boost pressure regulator.

Hey, thanks for the info! You've really got it down pat. Do you remember how much it cost to replace the boost pressure regulator? And has anything else unexpected happened since then? I hope your Clio is now running smoothly again. Best regards!

Hey, I'm glad if I could help! So yes, replacing the boost pressure regulator cost me €1520. That was quite a lot of money, but since then the Clio has been running like clockwork again. Fortunately, nothing unexpected has happened again. It seems that the fault with the malfunction of the boost pressure regulator has been rectified. In my opinion, an absolutely necessary step to prevent further damage. So, hopefully you'll get your Twingo running again soon! Greetings back!

Thank you for the quick reply and the advice! 1520 € is the right price. Well, what don't you do for your car, right? That's exactly why I wanted to ask here first, instead of going back to the mechanic and experiencing the same trouble. Your answer reassures me a little and gives me a clue as to what I might have to face. I'll take it to the garage soon and have it checked. I'll let you know if there's any news. Thank you and best regards.

Hi, I drive a 2004 Clio, also with a gasoline engine. Had an identical problem to the one you're having. Black smoke, loss of power and these strange noises. Right, it was the boost pressure regulator, electrically defective. At the time, my garage read out the fault and replaced the boost pressure actuator. It was quite a mess, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, it's a pretty serious matter, because if you continue to drive with it, it could permanently damage your engine. So it's best to take it to the garage soon and have it checked. I hope I can help. Take good care of your Renault! Best regards!
