Renault Clio RS 200/220, Mégane RS 280/300, Alpine A110 & Nissan Juke Nismo — The Coil Renault Sport Forgot to Make
The coil Renault Sport never sold you. Renault Sport built some of the greatest hot hatches ever made — the Clio RS 200, RS 220 Trophy, Mégane RS 280, Trophy 300 — and never once offered an ignition upgrade to go with them. There is no factory "RS coil." The aftermarket has largely ignored the platform. That's the gap MTP-1016 fills. UK-engineered around Mantis' neodymium magnetic core, delivering 12% more spark energy across all 4 cylinders. Same fit, same connector — plug & play, warrantied, the first purpose-made performance coil the RS faithful ever got.

Signs your M5M / M5P / MR16DDT 1.6 – 1.8 turbo needs new coils
- Misfire codes P0301–P0304 on OBDII
- Cold-start stumble (classic on tuned Clio / Mégane RS)
- Loss of top-end pull above 5,000 rpm — where the RS lives
- Rough idle after a Racingline / TFT / KTEC map
- Occasional CEL that clears on the next start
Installation notes
Direct plug & play — no coding, no dealer tools required. Remove the plastic engine cover, disconnect the coil connectors (push-tab, then pull), single 10mm bolt each coil, coils lift straight up. Replace as a set of 4 — mixed-age coils cause uneven spark and the ECU pulls timing to compensate, killing the performance benefit on tuned cars. Torque to 8 Nm. Total install: 10–15 minutes on a Clio RS, similar across the range.
Common questions
My RS doesn't misfire — why would I change the coils?
This isn't a repair, it's an upgrade. A stronger, longer spark burns more completely — most noticeable on cold starts and at the top of the rev range where the RS lives. Many owners replace ageing OE coils anyway as they hit 60k+ miles; this makes that maintenance an actual improvement. And there was never a factory RS coil to compare against — this is the first one.
Is there a proven RS coil already? Why Mantis?
No — that's exactly the point. Renault Sport never offered a performance coil for the Clio RS / Mégane RS, and the aftermarket has largely ignored the platform. Mantis is purpose-building this coil for the RS community — UK-engineered, warrantied, plug & play. It's the coil Renault Sport should have made.
Will it fit my exact RS / Alpine / Juke without coding?
Yes. MTP-1016 covers the M5M / M5P / MR16DDT 1.6–1.8T family — Clio RS 200/220 Trophy, Mégane RS 280/300, Captur TCe 150/160, Alpine A110, Nissan Juke DIG-T / Nismo, Qashqai J11, Pulsar Nismo, Sentra SR Turbo. Direct plug & play, no coding required. Always check the OE number stamped on your coil (22448-1KC0A) against our list below before ordering.
