Renault Clio 2016 1.2 Energy TCe Automatic engine H5FT
Engine reliability and common problems:
The Renault 1.2 TCe engine (H5FT) is a four-cylinder, fully aluminum turbocharged unit equipped with a 16-valve cylinder head without hydraulic lifters. It features direct fuel injection, a timing chain drive, variable valve timing on both camshafts, a low-inertia turbocharger with an intercooler, and a variable-displacement oil pump. Despite its modern design, the engine has gained a reputation for several serious reliability concerns, the most significant being excessive oil consumption caused by poorly designed piston rings, which in severe cases can require replacement of the cylinder block.Another common issue is rapid stretching of the timing chain, sometimes appearing before 100,000 km. Carbon buildup on the intake valves is also typical due to the direct injection system, as fuel does not wash the valves during operation, which can gradually reduce engine performance and requires periodic cleaning. The absence of hydraulic lifters means valve clearances must be adjusted from time to time, adding to maintenance complexity. Variable valve timing units are also known to have a limited lifespan.
Despite these weaknesses, the engine can provide decent performance for its size and relatively low fuel consumption when driven moderately. It is also capable of meeting Euro 6 emissions standards, and replacement engines are relatively easy to find on the used market. However, cold starting problems in very low temperatures are sometimes reported, and the engine’s tendency for oil consumption, early timing chain wear, and the need for periodic valve adjustment have contributed to its reputation as one of the less reliable engines in the lineup.

| Camshaft drive | Timing chain Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more. |
| Timing chain change interval | 150,000 km (recommended) Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur. |
