No thankyou TAL! I'm assuming your service went well then?
@@SocketsAndSideburns It went great. I did a mistake at the beginning, I accidentally drained the transmission oil, but luckily you had a video about that too, so now I also have a new transmission oil. First time I did it, & only thanks to your videos. Also my son helped me, so it was great working on it together. all the best Brother, & again thanks a lot
finally, someone who talks about the problem accessing the plugs and getting a narrow socket to fit. wtf were the manufacturers thinking ?
No idea. They caught me out the first time I went to change them.
Very helpful video, proper quality edit as well. Sure helped a lot!
Thanks very much. I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Why did you not use flushing oil first before new oil in
Great video, everything explained nicely and easy to see
Great video brother, I'll try to give my Clio a service now after seeing your video, thanks a lot
Thank you so much, that was informative and concise.
Dear sir,thankyou so much indeed foe posting this video.im going to be servicing my freinds cllio ,the same as yours,l love the the video,superbly filmed.exellent sound.keep up the superb work sir,please keep up the brilliant vids,thanku loads ,steve,
Current car market we are all going to have to learn this type of service for our cars ,,, cheers
I bought one yesterday, hate mechanics and under the hood but having watched this I reckon I'm going to try some stuff .
Subscribed .
( I did C&G mechanics at school and got a distinction...1986 😂)
Things may have changed a little since 1986 but servicing these is still very simple.
Very detailed video. Thanks.
perfect now i can fix my own clio
Perfect vid, thanks mate!
If you think these are a problem to service try replacing a timing belt on 1.4 petrol Modus (2007)
got a question if i may.
Why do you think one might have the coolant expasion container dirty on the inside? Yours kinda looks like the coolant is old, or maybe red. And i mean similar, but darker i think. Where would the corrosion come from and why? As long as there is no air in the cooling system down in the block, there's no reason for it to rust, is there ?
Is it possible to have that without having had a blown head gasket in the past, do you think?
You may indeed.
I believe the residue will be just rust and other sediments. The coolant in this car is a 5 year coolant and nearing the end of its life now. I don't believe the corrosion will ever be completely stopped in the system. Bear in mind the coolants have " Corrosion Inhibitors " so they are not advertised as being able to completely stop it. There is always an amount of dissolved oxygen in water which will allow some corrosion to take place. There are other things that cause corrosion also, its all very scientific but the short take away is you'll never stop corrosion entirely.
This car has been owned since new and has never had a head gasket failure so yes its entirely possible.

I have not seen another of these with its bonnet up, aside from mine, so i wouldn't know the rule about them, but i have seen various makes/models of similar age (or so i thought they were), some of which looked cleaner, so it got me wondering.
Rock's off my chest, so thanks for that ! :D
There is a special thin wall spark plug socket 25cm magnetic
Hi, can you show us how we can replace the blower fan inside the car cabin in a video? and location for the air filter.
with thanks
I might do it in the future but I have lots of other videos to get through first.
How have you found your Bosch spark plugs? Reading the Renault forums, alot of people seem more keen on NGK for this engine as thats what's recommended by Renault as you say. However, I managed to get a good deal on Bosch double iridium so went with them for this job as I personally have had good experiences with Bosch products.
This is a great question.
They have been totally fine for me. The OEM sparks for these engines are Champion REA8MCL. I have had personal experience using the Champions, NGKs and the Bosch. Never noticed a difference between an of them. I expect most people saying about a huge difference simply didn't notice a problem with engine running that they previously had.
Very Nice video, thank you my friend
hello everyone i have the same car and i have a problem as you can see in the video there is a plastic clips part of sort that is holding the handle of the oil stick. in my car that plastic holder is broken and so far i havent been able to find it do you guys think it would cause any problems im scared of oil stick popping out of its socket as i drive along
I understand your concern. The dipstick has an o ring on its base and is a tight fit into the tube but I'm afraid there is no way to be sure it wont work it's way lose. If it does come even slightly out it will make an awful mess there is actually a video on RUclips of it happening. The best way to get the part will be to buy an inlet manifold from Ebay they are much cheaper than you think. Or message someone who has one for sale and see if they will just sell you the clip.
Hi, just bought one of these little cars to potter about in. 2005 mk2, 1.2 16v. Are they supposed to have shielding underneath? Several of the previous MOTs note "under trays and engine covers fitted obscuring some components", but it doesn't have an undertray now. I see yours doesn't either? Is this a model dependant thing or do they just die and fall off over time? I've seen parts listed on various sites stating they are the undertray for my specific model but they all look different to each other..? Any advice you could give would be really helpful, your videos have already helped me out a lot, I'm enjoying working on it so far! Thanks.
They did have undertrays fitted as new but no Clio 2 I've ever seen still had one on. The Clio in this video has been without one for at least ten years and has done 118k miles with no ill effects.
They usually get left off/broken during mechanical work.
@@SocketsAndSideburns good to know it's not essential, thanks for replying. I bought this one for 550 quid, it was gonna get scrapped. Was gonna limp it through 1 more MOT, use it for a year and then scrap it myself, but the more time I spend in it, the more I think it deserves another chance at life. 55k miles and service receipts every year for the last 10 years. It's averaged about 1700 miles a year for the last decade and with a good polish and wet vac inside it's come up looking absolutely brand new. It's been incredibly well kept. Was thinking about getting it back into tip top as new condition but if it can live without an undertray then so can I. I'll spend the money on the timing belt instead! Thanks again for your videos, they've been invaluable.
Hello i have the same car and i want to know in the instrument cluster when you accelerate and change gears do you see the gear change indication with green color is like a gear knob because my car doesn't turn it in
No this car does not feature a gearchange prompt.
Does anyone have the part numbers for the items used in the service?
Finding it an absolute nightmare to get everything to do a basic service on my Clio 1.2 Mk2!
Hello. I'm not sure why you would have a problem sourcing parts for a service.
Parts are readily available on all major part shops websites just type in your number plate.
You will need to know you engine suffix to get the correct air filter I have made a video on how to do that. ruclips.net/video/CnuLWbRXr-I/видео.html
Can you post details about your lift please? I'd like to know where you bought it from and how much it was.
It is a Stongman Tools Montford Mid Rise scissor lift. It was around £1700 I think. I do not believe it is for sale anymore though. They have a lift called the Clifton which is similar I think. Is there anything else you would like to know?
Hello mate, don’t suppose you could do a video on intake manifold and rocker cover removal for this engine? As I’m trying to do a valve adjustment and can’t seem to get the manifold off fully without removing the AC compressor? Any thoughts?
I actually will be doing the valve clearances myself at some point and will do a video of it. I'm afraid it won't help you much though as this Clio doesn't have AC unfortunately.
If your car is a Clio also then the AC compressor is above the alternator and you should be able to unbolt the compressor from its mounting that it shares with the alternator (three bolts I think) and just support it with something so it doesn't strain the refrigerant flexi hoses. You may even get away with just slackening the bolts off if it generates enough space. Obviously need to remove the AC drive belt first.
@@SocketsAndSideburns thanks a lot mate! I had thought about doinf that but wasn’t too confident it messing with any of the belts or the AC, just wanted to get it running a little nicer and mines on about it 108,000 and just want to keeping it going!
May have to get someone to get it done then, good luck with your job when you get round to it, and stay safe,
Cheers
Alright mate. If you do decide to give it a go and have a problem or have anymore questions about it don't hesitate to leave a comment, I'm always around.
Very good,I just changed my oil and filter on my kangoo. 1.2 16 v..is it the same engine? Also do you change the fuel filter and is it easy?
It should be this engine yes. The filter is in the tank and meant to last the life of the car. Unless it's pre 2001.
I have a manual transmission Renault D4F that I put new fully synthetic gear oil 3 years ago, but due to the pandemic I've only driven it just 20,000 km since. The owner's manual says to replace the gear oil every 60,000kms or 2½ years.
Feels like a waste to change out the oil after just ⅓ of the mileage. What should I do? 😅
If the manual says change it then of course the "correct" thing to do is change it. All I can tell you is that the oil in this cars box has never been changed and the car is at 113,000 miles, however I'm prepared to change the box.
@@SocketsAndSideburns Thanks for the advice! I guess changing the oil is wiser than risking a worn out gearbox.
Hello, these motors also need to adjust valve gap size will you do a tutorial for manual adjusting valve gap in the future?
They do indeed have an adjustable valve clearance. I will be doing a video in the future.
@@SocketsAndSideburns Can you explain? What is the reason for adjusting valve gap?
Is it just to return to original place or ?
Hi mate. Just found your channel. Great video
We've just bought a mk3 1.2 clio for our son's 1st car. The engine is the same as far as I can tell.
I'll be giving it a service this weekend so this video is perfect.
It has just pinged up an oil pressure fault that seems just to be intermittent. Oil checks show the level is good and no other warning lights come up and the car runs perfectly. I'm thinking a faulty oil pressure sensor (only a 12 quid part so not going to break the bank) which I'll change with the service. I don't think the oil pump's gone or it would have caused a more severe problem all ready.
Have you had any experience of this or light you could shed?
Thankyou very much. You are correct that the engines are the same at least for the purpose of the service, the Clio 3 should have the D4F 740 whereas this is the D4F 722. I made a video on how to find the engine stamps on these D type engines. ruclips.net/video/CnuLWbRXr-I/видео.html
The oil pressure switches on these can fail. I'd start with that assuming of course the cars been serviced regularly and the correct oil is already in it. I'd try to limit use of the car though until you do just incase.
@@SocketsAndSideburns thanks for the reply. Got Sunday off work, so what better to do than get my hands dirty eh?
Great video mate is 5w30 oil ok to use in same car thanks.
Thankyou. I've always used 5w40 in these cars but according to the manual you can use 30.
Could you tell me if this car has an oxygen sensor in the exhaust and how often does it need to cleaned/ changed?
Yes there are two. They typically last around 100k miles for the pre cat one and longer for the post cat. There is no typical recommended change interval, just replace when failed. Cleaning is usually pointless and will not meaningfully extend life of the sensor as the usual failure is the heater failing.
If the pre cat sensor begins to fail it will be very obvious on this car, the misfires are horrendous.
@@SocketsAndSideburns many thanks for your great advice..I live in France so difficult sometimes here with my bad franglais
@@SocketsAndSideburns what happens if the the one after the cat converter fails or is dirty..I'm having issues with the engine light on all the time and trying to figure it ou..there is no misfiring..but sometimes randomly it runs bad and doesn't accelerate properly..it comes and goes
The post cat sensor is for monitoring the performance of the Cat. You will need to watch both sensors waveforms overlaid on a graph using a good scanner to get an idea of what they are doing.
@@SocketsAndSideburns many thanks..new air filter now and engine light went off two days later👍. For the life of me I can't find the cabin filter..It's not where most videos say it is? Most people say it's under the piece where the window wipers are..it's not on my model and I can't find it inside either.Any ideas?
heloo mate!,
i see you use Bosch S0387 air filter, do you think Bosch S3078 work?
Thanks a lot!
The S3078 is for the D4F 712. It is not as long as the filter required on the D4F 722. If you have the 722 it won't fit.
@@SocketsAndSideburns thanks for information!
Do you know where the oil switch is located please . Thanks
It's on the oil filter mounting visible at 8:10 in this video. Has a cover over it and I think it's 21mm.
Perfect thank you save me so much time and money keep up the good work :)
Is this the 58hp engine brother?
No this engine is 74hp.
Hey there any link to find the service Parts?
Hello. Yes I have now added in links to the parts used in the video in the description.
@@SocketsAndSideburns legend 👊🏻
Heloo
, this engine does not have a fuel filter?
This car in the video does not have a fuel filter that is a service item. On early models pre June 2001 there was a fuel filter fitted to the front of the fuel tank. You can check there to see if your car is fitted with one. The bracket to hold it was never removed from the tanks so it should be obvious whether you have one or not.
On later 1.2 16v Clios like the one in the video the filter is in the tank as part of the fuel feed unit and is not a service item.
This information may only apply to UK Clios however.
@@SocketsAndSideburns Thank you. I have the same 1.2 16v, 2004 year.
With five doors. If you are doing any more repairs on it, set it to youtube. All the best.
