My clio 3 has same engine. I like watching your videos, I became much more knowledgeable than the mechanics here in Turkey😂.

This is the best car fixing tutorials here on youtube. Thank to you I managed to adjust valves in my Twingo 2 (same engine). I first used the values from the Renault manual, that were to tight. Car did misfire after reasembly. Watching Your move helped a lot. Thank You for a high quality content and greetings from Poland. The car is less noisy when cold started and I also have cleaned a lot of mayonnaise from the rocker cover. My wife uses it in poor conditions for 2, 3km commutes so the engine is cold all the time thats where this cones from probably.

Here because at 145k miles, it’s possibly needing checked on our 8-valve 1.2 production year 2000. Haynes manual says it’s not a scheduled maintenance item. This I can understand, as very often as long as they are ‘loose enough’, no end of tinkering with these makes a darn if a difference to a lot of engines (not talking specialist cars here). It’s a bit hard to know with some of this stuff, three examples being: cam belts, recommended at 70k miles but dare you wait, Haynes says 40k miles intervals; automatic transmissions’ ‘lifelong transmission fluid’ they have said for years don’t change it (terrible advice in most but not all cases); manual gearbox oil definitely can do with changing before 70k miles, it can be the difference between seeming like all synchromesh has gone, and everything working fine. Thanks anyway, take care all. [Edit: the D7F 8-valve engine from y2k, is 0.10mm inlet, and 0.20mm exhaust].

It really a high quality content. Great job mate, carry on what you are doing. 👍👍👍

Thank you so much for the great explanation, the engine in my grand modus works like new

Nice, i will use clio 3 mm clearance for my Proton Savvy (D4F 1.2 16v 722), hello from malaysia.

Great Job!!

Good job 👍👍👍

Thanks for this, this is the same engine fitted to dacia.

Thank you for posting this video. Just a question: the order of adjysting the valves is the same to any other car with 4 cylinder engines?

Hi, I've done the clearance adjustment on my mk3. Im not a mechanic but im mechanically minded, and i have done lots of things including clearance settings with my father years ago, so it's not alien to me, howeveri wasn't sure how much of a drag should i feel. I aimed for a decent drag at the middle of the spec (0.28 as my camshaft has a groove) so 0.33 didn't fit in at all, 0.28 had a drag. Same on the exhaust, but with 0.38 and 0.43 didn't go through. Long story short, car sounds better, no more rattling when the engine is cold. Sometimes it takes a little bit more crank when starting up. I'd say 2 rotations more by the sound. When I press the accelerator from idle(in neutral) first it goes down for a second to 500ish rpm, then it goes up fine. Idle is about at 600, I'd say it's like before. Do you guys think I messed up the clearance setting by setting it too tight? Or is it the throttle body if I accidentally knocked it when handling it, maybe the fuel system? Should I re check settings just to make sure? I need to mention I had 99 octane fuel and an injector cleaner additive into the tank right after the job. Thanks for anyone's help.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 THANKS...hi im from malaysia

4:20 min. Hi, nice video again :) im suprised how many different values are in the table. which of them are the right ones for Dacia Logan MCV2 1.2, y:2016(D4F)? Thanks much

Hi there mate, just done on my 2005 Clio Mk2 face-lift with identical engine, however it now sounds way worse, I did intake to 0.15 and exhaust 0.24 decent drag. I'm not convinced these are right settings as before they were at 1.0 and 2.0 and only slightly ticky

I was unsure about the slit/groove and it helped to be fully sure where i needed to look - my engine has the groove.. As i had a good amount of leaks from the valve cover i might as well check the clearance. Wanted to go for the angle method , but ill have a go at the exhaust method too after watching..

Thanks a lot....🙂

When you slide the crevice meter with the middle value, then move the valve pusher up and down, if you feel the slack, you know that you still need to tighten the valve pusher. Then try to insert the fracture meter with the middle value, if it does not enter, put in a slit meter with low value, and move the pusher up and down. If there is a felt slack, then setting the slack on the valves is correct. Do not regulate the slack with a slit inserted because you are arranging it, tightening the pusher you knead its thickness. Gdy wsuniesz szczelinomierz z środkową wartością, to poruszaj popychaczem zaworu w górę i w dół, jeśli wyczujesz luz to wiesz że jeszcze trzeba dokręcić popychacz zaworu. Następnie spróbuj włożyć szczelinomierz z środkową wartością , jeśli nie wejdzie, to włóż szczelinomierz z niską wartością, i poruszaj popychaczem w górę i w dół. Jeśli będzie wyczuwalny luz, to ustawienie luzu na zaworach jest prawidłowe. Nie reguluj luzu przy wsuniętym szczelinomierzu bo go rozkalibrujesz , dokręcając popychacz ugniatasz jego grubość.

Thank you /merci boucoup شكرا

Hi, can you put the links to the manual you found?

Ďakujeme.

Hello IV got a clio diesel 2009. Is it hydraulic??

Thanks.

Hi from Moldova! Same engine,camshaft with groove,i make 35 inlet and 45 exhaust😊 5.2l on 100km if driving 70km/h. Clio 4,2015

Thanks!

Hi there I have on white wire of my ignition coil cut ,do you have picture on where all the 4 wires go

I have Clio Storia 1,2 8V 2009, 135000km, recently a drove a car to the mechanic for preventive valve clearance adjustment. When I don't use a car longer then 3-4 days I hear clicking sound from cylinder head when started cold, after 2-3 minutes when engine warms up clicking sound disappear. I did not heard that before valve adjustment, I changed the oil recently and top up to the max. Should I readjust valves or this is normal when engine is not started for a period of 3-4days.

I have a question I have a clio mk3 with the same engine with 170k kilometers. The engine never had a valve adjust in her life. Will I feel any noticeable diffrence

hello, I have the same engine, but I have a problem with gasoline getting into the oil

When rotating the engine, is it very bad to go a tiny bit backwards (counterclockwise) if one overshoots the correct point?

Is it unusual to have the cylinders numbered in this order, with number 1 closest to the flywheel/transmission and 4 closest to timing belt? The general wisdom online seems to be that it’s usually numbered the other way around, with timing belt side being the “front” of the engine and cylinder numbering starting from there. Is this is a Renault thing, to have it backwards? Or maybe I’m just confused and my lack of mechanical experience is showing.

Is this relevant for thr D4FT?

How many km you think this engine could last? Mine has 175k

D4F turbo? Identical

Good job,,but,,many talk,,only same isue

PLEASE tell me you have the values for a 740 engine😢.
