clio 1.2 16v 2004 engine

[ollycuff]

i have a clio 1.2 16v 2001 sport which engine is goosed therefore im putting a 1.2 16v 2004 engine in. im just woundering because my 1.2 was shite on fuel and also really loud so you can hear the engine inside the car while driving. is the 2004 engine going to be different?

Who at Renault decided a 1.2 16v was a sport :slap:? Any way I would expect the reason it's loud is becuase it's fucked and not been looked after. Whether the 'new' engine is any better depends on how well that's been looked after as well.

2004 will have a differnt throttle body setup, external type, your throttle body is internal.

the log book

Your throttle body is inside the inlet manifold, the newer very late 04 onward are bolted to the side of the inlet manifold. Wiring will be differnt, also injection computer was relocated behind the battery unlike yours which is bolted to the back of the engine.

Have you checked your tappets/clearances?

hmm i rang the car parts place where im getting the engine from and they asked for my reg and they said this engine will fit from 2001 to 2006 ? the engine is getting delivered tomorrow to the car repair unit

 

[Alastair.]

Heres your one

2004 onward engine

 

[ollycuff]

hmmm well i dont no then. the guy on the phone said it will fit?

 

[Bux]

It would fit, but it wouldn't be a straight job of taking one out and plugging the new one in.

 

[ollycuff]

hmm il leave it to the garage to do . not my problem lol 170 pound for engine fitted and new cambelt aswell while hes fitting it

Good price. Make sure the cambelt is the "kit" (tensioner & pulleys etc) and not just the belt.

hope the engine better on fuel than my old engine
