[@silasrafael2594]

@Jose Armando Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@silasrafael2594]

@Jose Armando it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you really help me out!

But if you replace the water pump. do you also have to remove the coolant, that part I miss in the video.

[@HaynesManuals]

Yes, you should renew the coolant at the same time.

[@ilvale6439]

Why do you take off the intake inlet? It's not necessary

[@HaynesManuals]

There are often several ways of doing the same job. We've advised taking the inlet manifold off to make it easier to get the starter motor off. The starter has to come off so the flywheel can be pegged at the right place.

[@ilvale6439]

@@HaynesManuals I know that in this model there is an hole on the flywheel to lock the engine with a special locking pin

[@nuraminmuliaamirsalleh8092]

it's a standard operation procedure for more safety and it's an optional situation for every part of engine when we need to do it in certain cases. It's a complete guideline !.

[@lukaspodoba401]

Hello, does this procedure apply for 2007 Clio 3 1.2 tce 100 engine? Thanks)

[@HaynesManuals]

No, it's for the models after 2009

[@adambennett805]

Is it possible to turn the engine to top dead centre before removing the crankshaft pulley? Then you could lock it with the drill bit and remove the crankshaft pulley that way rather than buy an extra tool

[@HaynesManuals]

Unfortunately, Renault insist that the drill bit isn't strong enough to hold the crank when removing the pulley - hence the need for the locking tool.

[@agcobileboqwana9923]

I didn't have money to buy the special locking tools when changing my wife Clio 3, I used gold drill bits, no problems.

[@luisk5582]

​@@agcobileboqwana9923 What size did you used?

[@agcobileboqwana9923]

@Luis K, it's an 8mm metal high speed drill bit.

[@luisk5582]

@@agcobileboqwana9923 Thank you.

What wrench/ratchet/holder do You use for hold torx t50 bit? 2:06

[@HaynesManuals]

It depends on the Torx bit you're using. Ours had an 8mm shank, so we used an 8mm ring spanner.

[@farerse]

how do you tune the engine to 250 hp ?

[@dillon1553]

Is there a locking tool for a renault clio iv 2017 ?

[@HaynesManuals]

The 1.5 DCI requires crank and cam sprocket locking pins, but the other engines in the range don't

[@dillon1553]

@@HaynesManuals but there is something to lock the flywheel so that the bolt of the crank pulley can be un tighten pls ?

[@HaynesManuals]

No specific tool for the 1.5 DCI, but this is what's in the manual: 'The crankshaft pulley must now be removed. There is a small gap beneath the starter motor into which a screwdriver or similar tool can be jammed into the starter ring gear teeth. Note however that access to both the ring gear and the TDC timing plug (below the starter motor) is considerably easier if the starter motor is removed first.'

If the instructions include "how to open the bonnet" then you may not be ready for doing this kind of job
