IIRC the 2.0 16v Clio III '140 uses the M4R which is chain driven.

Is that the 197/200 or the gt 138? The former are belt driven
Clio III is the new 200T shape isn't it? (Knuckles)

Oil pump chain probably.

Completely new design - M4R is an RNA joint developed modular platform for use across the two brands (which are essentially the same chassis anyway).
The F4R is getting on a bit now but why produce two 2.0 16v units at twice the cost for everything when one saves time and money all round.

As state, it'll be oil pump chain. Had one before from eurocrap

As above, the oil pump is chain driven on the F4R
Yeah it will be the oil pump chain or they have just completely miss listed it and its really a bike chain or something.
You cannot run a chain on the pulleys for a belt, so to answer the other part of the question in this thread NO you cant convert even if you did get a chain the correct length.

Including the crank pulley etc? And anyway would still be more to it that that as the tensioners are also different on a chain setup.
Its just not even vaguely feasible and certainly not for the 9 quid he was hoping for, 9,000 quid maybe!
and get it an oil feed...
and enclose it...
and sort some tensioners...
theres a few £££ there
But oneumatic would mean mappable cam profiles.
That's proper tuning p**n that is. Essentially the ultimate for an n/a 4 stroke.

You say that, but how many extremely tappy corsa C's do you see due to the chains needing replacement?? I see a lot, mainly due to poor maintenance but they can't all be!!
Belts go snap quite often.
The PO of my car had the belt snap, ironically while it was in a non-specialist mechanic shop being serviced for aircon. It had head work and a new belt put on but the pulleys were not done. I had the whole lot changed when I got it, to be sure.
People seem to forget the service interval is also based on time as well as distance. Most of the sad stories seem to be lightly used cars that have the belts age out, but the owners only watch the odometer.

Well exactly then, uncared-for engines :].
Agreed, but for lightness, quietness, a 5 year service interval, no requirement to be oiled etc, the belt wins, so its easy to see why they get used.
