The irreversible consequences of neglected rod bearings on the Twingo RS
The 1.6 16V engine of the Twingo 2 RS undergoes significant rotational stress. Ignoring the preventive replacement of your bearings or opting for an approximate reference means accepting the risk of a spun bearing. Without this genuine Renault rod bearing shell with its specific black mark, you expose your engine to a fatal drop in oil pressure, leading to crankshaft destruction and often a hole in the engine block. The cost of a complete engine far outweighs that of rigorous maintenance using OEM parts.
Why is reference 8200201580 indispensable?
In the world of competition, whether in a Twingo R1 or a 160hp Twingo R2, every micron counts. The black mark corresponds to a precise thickness defined by Renault to compensate for machining clearances. By using reference 8200201580, you guarantee:
- Perfect hydrodynamic sealing between the crankpin and the connecting rod.
- Increased resistance to high oil temperatures during intensive use.
- Preservation of your vehicle's value through the use of original components.

Answers to frequently asked questions for your engine overhaul
Can I mix different bearing mark colors in the same engine?
Selecting the black mark must correspond to the precise metrology of your crankshaft. The wrong choice of thickness class can cause engine seizure or knocking. Only a new genuine Renault part guarantees compliance with these critical dimensions.
Is it mandatory to replace the connecting rod bolts?
Yes, rod bolts undergo plastic deformation during torqueing. To ensure you don't ruin the installation of your new black mark bearing shell, it is imperative to replace them with new ones to ensure a perfect hold of the rod cap.
