Thanks for that, yes just have this one to strip apart and thought from the comments left on other clio videos it was whats needed.

Best of luck with the repair, hopefully the damage is not too extensive

@@peugeotCitroen2CV not had one of these engines stripped. Last Renault I did a head on was iirc a Renault 16. Back in those days Renaults did not have a solid block but individual pots. Head was removed by tapping and twisting clockwise or anti clockwise. One of the head studs in central position ( can’t remember which one)had a dowel that went from block casing to the head and a head bolt passed through it. By levering the head upwards instead of twisting. One invariably broke the seals on the bottom of the pots. Resulting in coolant leaking in to the sump resulting in redoing the job. I’m currently looking for a scrap one of these engines and possibly a 1.4 or 1.6 engine to see if it’s possible to swap parts and possibly increase capacity. Done this in past on fiats and Vw engines. Same block ,same crankshaft Different throw and Conrod length. Can you confirm if engine is a solid block or has pots ????

Thanks for the comment

Thanks

Hi thanks for your comment

Thanks for the comment.

Metal pins out of the connectors, what are these pins again? Quite a few ways to go about this job i suppose just hope it gives an insight into how the D4F is put together

The metal security pins like in the video by 5:50.

Oh right the metal clips? Need to try that would be good if there is a handier way to release them

+peugeotCitroen2CV Yes i did it the same way, than you won't lose you're pins also👍 I like you're video's...I changed my trottlebody also on my clio. you're video about it helpt me a lot.

That is the connector for the ECU, it has a bizarre security cover. Most are chiseled off, i never thought ECU theft was that big an issue but renault in the early 2000s deemed it to be an issue.

Hi the crankshaft position sensor is located under the air filter around the bellhousing, it takes the speed from the flywheel

That is interesting, there is a few variations of the D4F here also. The clio 3 had a different layout but it was the same engine, the proton savvy also got the engine with a different looking inlet. Is it common in latin america to get cars with no air conditioning? Over here the climate is much colder, A/C might only be needed for a few weeks of the year and even then an open window can usually suffice, most entry level versions of small cars for years did not get air conditioning although its generally becoming more common now.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV yes... in Latin America it is more common to have air conditioning, our climate is mostly tropical... and even so, where the climate is more extreme, there is also. Also air conditioning has become a security resource in our countries; added to the one that says that a car at 80kph on the highway consumes less gasoline than one with open windows for aerodynamic reasons (and the mythbusters corroborated it)

@@mrjameschong Mythbusters was a great show.

I think the speedometer sensor is on the gearbox, see the photos in this thread www.renaultforums.co.uk/17-electronics/110512-2002-clio-speedo-150%25-2.html

Hi, i do not think the 1.2 engines were ever offered in twin cam variety, even this being a 16v it was through a single camshaft. Possibly the 1.6 might have been although i might not have enough pub quiz knowledge about the renault petrols🤣. The 172 and 182 i would imaine were twin cam revvy engines. There was the TCe version of this 1.2 engine in the clio mk3, a bit of a bugger on to do stuff like a starter change due to pipes being in the road but it does have a useful bit of extra torque. The naturally aspirated D4F really feels a bit underpowered in the heavier MK3. Its still offered in the MK4 which really did feel quite sluggish although its a basic engine so not much to go wrong and good for urban driving. Although id actually go for the 1.5 DCI K9K engine it suits those renaults a lot better, especially on the motorway where the petrols can get a bit droney.

Hi, this might help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMtzaNGV3LrVZWQ.html

Yes! It's amazing! So helpful! Thanks to share!

No problem thanks

I dont think it should be too hard on either engine.

I don't know as I have never worked on a Twingo. Looking on Wikipedia the Cleon engine was in the MK1 Twingo which was never sold here in RHD markets. It does look a simpler engine judging purely by pictures of it.

Good to know that information, thanks

Im not too sure, the later engine may have had some changes between those years. Sensors, ECU and possibly other changes.

I seen mighty car mods did a video on it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNmoaJWInqmupZs.html I'm not sure a 1.2 clio might need one though

Ah its a capacitor, is it perhaps to suppress voltage spikes from the ignition system, to prevent radio interference? Just a suggestion.

Hi you will need a set of inverse torx sockets a set as the engine has a few sizes in other places. Sorry i cant remember the exact size of the head bolts, as for torque figures i would recommend the Haynes manual or a manual off ebay. Unfortunately i do not keep them to hand. The owners club or forums might also have that information available.

A cheap set of torx bits should do this job

Just changed mine on same engine in a kangoo a few days ago. Literally takes 10 minutes. Wiring harness on back of coil pack. 3x torx screws and the 4 leads.

Whistle or a squealing sound? The belt could be incorrectly tensioned, or possibly if its too tight the bearings in the alternator may be making the noise.

whistle.

A-P R Hi there, are you planning on replacing it? I dont do this mechanicing as a job so i cant really offer to replace a head gasket.

I think (not 100% sure) that its some sort of supressor to stop electrical interference, the sort of interference that would cause the radio to make odd sounds.

Yes that is how it is configured

To be honest i cant actually remember, it might be a coolant temperature sensor, knock sensor. I am just not sure.

www.google.com I pasted "Renault Kangoo the fault code is P0225" It gave many results including this www.renaultforums.co.uk/threads/clio-d4f-fault-code-p0225.278249/

Its mostly the same on all cars, ok some are easier to work on than others (suzuki samurai for example) but most modern cars typically require a fair bit of stripping to get to various components.

@@peugeotCitroen2CV and then you have more chances that other things that you take apart will break during removal or you connect them wrong and you won't find the problem. Not to mention the time you spend more. They should think about ease of repair when they design it.

@@ronenfe Sadly that is not so likely to happen. When it comes to ease of repair car manufacturers seem to be emulating phone companies in that they would rather you bought a new one than fix the old one.

Hi Yes you have to take then inlet manifold off to get the injector rail out by the looks of it. Not particularly awkward once you know thats how it comes out. No where near the hassle of a diesel injector stuck in the head. Just a few more bits to undo

LOL cheers buddy sent a pm the other day so sure you know the issues i've got with my clio.

Ah yes i remember the PM, hope i answered you ok regarding that issue. Did you get any further with your clios repair?

+peugeotCitroen2CV not really I have had no time and a little dubious taking the top off due to the oil leak the garage originally left it with lol issue is I'm not 100℅ sure of the cause and don't want to spend out £50 to £60 for a injector rack to find out it ain't that causing the issues I did send links showing the issue and have also posted on Renault forum but no feedback yet and can't afford to have a Renault full diagnostic done especially on an old car lol so everything now is trial and error if you get chance to check the links and have any ideas let's know buddy that way if things need stripping i ain't wasting my time 😂😂

Renault forums were okay when i used to use them but also worth trying the french car forum. I recenlty bought a C5 V6 and have to say its quite good for replies. Were there links you sent me i just dont see any yet?

There was about 120,000 miles (approx 193,000km accroding to the converter)
