ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU ASKED, ANSWERED - Renault Clio RS

[@Stormf0rce999]

Owned my MK4 Clio RS for 6 years never missed a beat

[@VersionOneUK]

Exactly dude. Underated just for the box for SURE. Appreciate your comment dude

[@TucoElMatador]

Owned my black RS for 9 months. Really underrated car. Very reliable so far. The auto makes it comfy in traffic. Good to see some useful info online from the UK. Subscribed.

[@VersionOneUK]

Appreciate your support dude! Couldn't agree more, for every day driving the auto is a dream. Keep an eye on more vids to come

[@thatrenaultboi9402]

Hey man, I’m so glad I found this channel :) I’m from Australia and all I can say is I absolutely love my MK4 RS 200. I’m glad I have someone to watch to get ideas/information from now so thanks 👌🏼

[@VersionOneUK]

Sick man appreciate it! 👊 Gonna keep doing clio content as theres not alot out there in terms of modifying them, still plenty on my list to do

[@thatrenaultboi9402]

VersionOne heck yes man, that is amazing:)

[@jordanbell1215]

Only had the lower coolant hose on mine and it’s already a know issue Blew a shock but that’s more down to lowering springs, been spot on even after mapping 👌🏻

[@VersionOneUK]

Exactly mate. I replaced mine when i was underneath it before it let go on me. I'll mention the lower hose clamp though in a video to come! Handy heads up, appreciate the comment dude 👊

[@danwah]

Hey, would the lower coolant hose have anything to do with a very slow coolant leak by any chance? Mine had dropped down to below the minimum at one point, called out RAC, couldn't find any leak, topped it up and it's went down over the course of a year or so, very slowly to about the mid level. Had it booked in at Renault and they couldn't find any problems either. Remember seeing something on rs forum that had the same issue, only leaked under heavy load. That forum is now gone and this is the it thing I've found on the issue.

[@VersionOneUK]

@@danwah hey mate, it potentially will be that, and the fact its doing it more under heavy loads would make sense. If you remove both undertrays on the front you' be able to see the hose and if its seeping, or been seeping. Super easy fix and a very common problem, i did mine before it let go. Clear up the area if thats the issue and a jubilee clip will do the job or if you want the official part renault do sell it as i got hold of one.

[@danwah]

@@VersionOneUK thanks for the reply bud appreciate it! I'll have a gander and see if that's it. Hopefully it is!

[@VersionOneUK]

@@danwah no worries dude! More clio vids coming soon! Spread to word 👊

[@ollydalloway672]

I think when it pulls you forward when you're at a standstill is called clutch drag. In normal and sport the clio has a little bit of drag but if you put it in race mode you'll notice it doesn't do it.

[@VersionOneUK]

Mine doesn't do it at all mate. My mates mini does, i was talking about torque converters as opposed to dual clutch setups. The ol clio is solid 👌

[@hugheszie]

Owned mine for 5 days so far and love it.

[@VersionOneUK]

They are a great car mate. Alot to love! Any plans for it? Not sure if you have subbed already but would be much appreciated if not 👊

[@Bitofpizza]

Great video Ash, owning a Mk4 myself, I can agree with everything you’ve said, very reliable, almost flawlessly reliable, extremely capable and fun to drive, and I have to disagree with you on one thing, they sound amazing straightpiped! (With primary cat left in like mine!) As for value for money, I don’t think you can buy another modern hot hatch with an auto box and a turbo for this sort of money, unless you get an older Golf R32 or something in another category, so for £9000ish, this is a mega car, turns heads, sparks conversation and isn’t boring like a Fiesta ST or 208Gti which i class as a league below because of how capable this Clio is. I’m not a race driver, but I’ve had mine at it’s limit on country roads, absolutely left a 350bhp Golf Gti for dust whilst I was on the bumper of a supercharged 650bhp E92 M3! (Obviously not as quick round corners)

[@VersionOneUK]

Yeah dude exactly. You can see how they are becoming more popular as they come down in price... As for the straight pipe thing, yours having a cat in means its not straight piped and the cat probably helps keep some harshness out of the tone. I'm talking STRAIGHT pipe dude, full decat, no silencers no backbox. Good community on these cars too 👊

[@HoltBlackheathFPV]

I have to disagree with Fiesta ST’s being boring, in fact they are widely known for being very fun cars. Defo not a class below a Clio RS either. I own a MK8 ST running around 250hp and I don’t know many FWD cars that could out-corner it, the LSD is witchcraft.

[@VersionOneUK]

Pretty sure they mean the mk7 fiesta... I rate both the mk7 and mk8 just how common the 7 is makes them less desirable imo. I haven't had a go in a mk8 fiesta as of yet but i actually like them more than the 7. The sound way better too, which is weird being a 3 cylinder ha

[@HoltBlackheathFPV]

VersionOne Yeah I agree with the MK7’s being common, I’m seeing more and more MK8’s around now too which is annoying for me haha. Also bang on it being a 3 pot, such a unique sound. Interested in reviewing it?

[@VersionOneUK]

@@HoltBlackheathFPV absolutely dude!

[@IsaacOliveira-gk8xw]

Just got one last week. its a 2015 Clio Rs with 49k in Yellow. Got it from Renault. From 60mph onwards steering vibrates a lot. also there is always a constant plasticky vibration coming from the dashboard ... I am a bit reluctant.. Don't know if I should keep the car or not.

[@VersionOneUK]

@@IsaacOliveira-gk8xw it's quite common mate, dash rattle on those cars. I'm not sure about the fix but it'd be worth speaking to Renault

[@martijnnvt6949]

Great video there buddy, got a question. We bought a 2014 clio RS, gonna pick it up saturday. It has been chipped to 213.5hp and 317.9nm torque. Is this within the safe zone of the car without damaging it or excessive overloading the standard parts?

[@VersionOneUK]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👊 has the car got any other mods to support it? And they sound like very safe figures to me, i'm sure if you took it for an independent map you'd squeeze a bit more out of her!

[@martijnnvt6949]

@@VersionOneUK It's got another downpipe on it.

[@VersionOneUK]

@@martijnnvt6949 ahhh nice! Thats a sod of a job too so thats saved you some money! Maybe in the future look into some cooling mods but if all is well as it is you should be fine. Just keep an eye on temps

[@tomosjohn230]

Currently got a stock fiesta st mk7 and debating getting the new Mégane RS trophy next

[@VersionOneUK]

Megs a NAUGHTY car mate. But a huge up from the fiesta too

[@adampettersson8655]

I currently own a Megane RS250, but i am really interested in getting a clio trophy instead, since its more ”everyday use-friendly”, and cheaper to maintain. How would you compare the performance of them? I currently run approx 310 hp in the megane. Will the clio be about as fast as it is lighter? Thanks in advance.

[@VersionOneUK]

Hey mate, I don't reckon it will be as quick as a 310bhp meg no, on a hybrid turbo, probably... You'll save time on the shifts but rolling i'd say a meg would pull away. Mines running 265ish and definitely gets on, just not on a megs level i'd say. Still great fun though with 260+ and an auto box you'll upset some people for sure

[@adampettersson8655]

VersionOne Yea I see, But the gearbox will probably make it feel faster haha. I actually drove a clio trophy a few years ago when they came out, and i was actually surprised by its performance (this was before i had the meg). So I can imagine with a tune and stuff it will be great fun. And it will be a much better day-to-day car than the meg for sure.

[@VersionOneUK]

@@adampettersson8655 oh man they're so fun, exhaust cracks are quality especially with a better exhaust. Check out some other vids man and see what you think. Where abouts are you based, could make a vid out of it

[@adampettersson8655]

VersionOne Yea i can imagine that, a friend of mine has a straight piped trophy so i know what they can sound like ;) Already did mate, you got a new subscriber as well. I am based in Sweden actually...

[@VersionOneUK]

@@adampettersson8655 appreciate the support dude! Ahh thats a shame, we're worlds apart! Definitely let me know if you get a clio mate

[@nazmo_za9654]

Phase 2 akra + decat sounds perfect

[@VersionOneUK]

I wish i knew the information i know now when i was buying dude, would have 100% gone phase 2 with a spec'd akra. I prefer the drls with the phase 1 and they were alot cheaper than phase 2 at the time i was buying. I've bought a strong one though so i'm happy! Cheers for the comment dude 👊

[@ryanbug5645]

DUDE! Add an end card to your videos! it'll help you a lot!!

[@VersionOneUK]

End card? Only been doing this a properly for a few months dude. Help me out haha

[@TimmehysCat]

Is that the Maxton spoiler on yours? Sorry if you have a spec-sheet somewhere.

[@VersionOneUK]

It is mate yeah!

[@TimmehysCat]

@@VersionOneUK Looks great, man. Gonna order one for my 200T. Debating whether to get the splitter too.

[@VersionOneUK]

@@TimmehysCat its amazing how something so subtle can change the look of the back for sure! The maxton stuff looks great besides the rear spats, i have a front splitter going on soon, its not maxton though

[@PaniiKcs]

unexplored.
