  • EGR valve: In actual fact this valve which controls the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disrupt the evacuation of exhaust gases which can cause Renault Twizy vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.

So remember to check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Renault Twizy to your garage.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the advantage that it is more often than not easy to access and simple to disassemble/clean. You can always look into it and clean it, for this see our article on cleaning the EGR valve of an Renault Twizy.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very sensitive parts and a few harmful particles may be enough to disrupt their operation. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a professional.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, only change it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will only have to replace it with a new one.

Now you have all the info you need to uncover the cause of the vibrations at acceleration on your Renault Twizy. If you don’t feel able to perform certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your repair shop.
