Renault 4 GTL "Guppie" | 500.000 km

A Renault 4 GTL 1.4 (1986) reaching the 500.000 kilometer mark, 27 years after it was born. It still is comfortable and with it's 1400 cc engine remarkably quick (watch the part with the Maserati Granturismo ;) ).

[@berndschroder4745]

I've just buyed a R4, that was stored outdoor for 13 years. When i was a student, I owned two of them, more as 35 years ago. Yesterday, as i took place at the drivers seat, ..... it was just like coming home again! I love it.

[@samizannad1844]

Bernd, man sagt I BOUGHT, nicht Buyed! Viel Glück mit deinem R Vier

[@64fairlane305]

Just bought me a -79 TL, hope to keep it alive and enjoy it for some years still!

[@ammagato]

Complimenti alla tua R4, anche io con la mia vecchia R4 850 TL ho fatto 500.000 km senza guasti rilevanti. Ritengo che sia stata la macchina più simpatica, duttile e divertente del mondo! Abbine cura!

[@alessandrobedoni2669]

Congratulation!!! Again 500,000 km......I have one R4 F4, I Love this Car!!!

[@lagomadra]

Congratulations!! And now go for 1.000.000!!! Little, mighty giant!!

[@juanmj93]

I have a 1990 one with 250.000kms here in Colombia, also converted to 1400cc, I am working on it to bring it back on the streets, hopefully it will be with me when it gets to 500.000.

[@2cvaroundtheworld191]

Juan Manuel Martinez hi I also want to convert my car engine Is it possible to help me? What type of engine, ?

[@nofacemonster]

Renault is a grea car and we have lot of memories on the R4's, When i was about to be born my mother was taken to a hospital using one... (32 Years ago) :''') Lovely video. If all goes well i'll be buying a R4 in few days as my first car. :) Thank you for a lovely video sir.

[@juanmj93]

nofacemonster I almost died from a complete respiratory obstruction due to an asthma attack when I was 4 and my father took me to the hospital in his Renault 4 as fast as he could, when we arrived the car belts melted! I love the Renault 4.

[@nofacemonster]

Looks there are plenty of people all around the world with fond memories of this car.

[@CreRay]

Leuke video, en gefeliciteerd met 1k likes:-). Is deze continu in gebruik geweest? Zou leuk zijn te weten wat er aan ‘vitale delen’ vervangen is.

[@olafberger9089]

Respekt !!!!!!!!!!!

[@ammagato]

Anch'io ho fatto e superato i 500.000 Km con la mia amatissima R4, pensa che non aveva quasi più compressione (fasce elastiche consumatissime) ma continuava a camminare senza farmi spendere null'altro che il carburante e i cambi d'olio e cartuccia.

[@paulgoudfrooij6561]

I didn’t know they came with a 1.4, I thought the 1.1 was the biggest engine offered but perhaps not?

[@lafriteuse1300]

Beautiful car but just a question : Renault haven't any 1.4 liters in R4! The maximum was 1.1liter? If you could explain.

[@R5Baccara]

It is the engine from a R5 TX

[@lafriteuse1300]

@@R5Baccara OK, fine. But this help the motor, I suppose the weight for renault 4 is smaller than R5. Nevertheless 500 000km is awesome!!

[@yacine3828]

this motor is converted from renault express 1.4

[@R5Baccara]

Nee, deze komt uit een R5 TX. De oorspronkelijke 1.1 is al vrij snel vervangen door een 1.4. Dit is de tweede 1.4 met inmiddels 240.000 km.

Geweldig :)

Long live to R4!!! Which engine is in it C1J or...???

[@ralphmayer5543]

Wow! Great!

[@vangestelwijnen]

The car still lives, but last APK (MOT) expiry date was in 2015.. Guess it is parked and awaits better times.

[@winandd8649]

The road tax law in the Netherlands changed; Cars older than 25 years where considered as oldtimer and owners didn't have to pay road tax. This 25 year threshold is now stretched to 40 years, so the owner has to pay road tax now, so maybe he stored the car until its 40th birthday.. Note; This car runs on LPG, so road tax is about 2.5 times higher compared to a car running on normal petrol (in NL)

[@TheGuynemer]

LOL!! Le mec qui sable le champagne pour les 500000 kilomètres de sa 4L et qui met une bonne branlée au conducteur la Jaguar XK8!!!

[@franckpop]

The motor from Renault 5 Alpine?

[@fevgo303]

I know that the largest engine offered in R4 was the 1108cc engine..Am I wrong?

[@R5Baccara]

It is a C2J-P 7/13.

Et maintenant combien de kilomètres la 4 l ?

[@GoliathAngelus]

500.000,,een hele prestatie. Aparte versie. Ik kan me niet herinneren dat een R4 2 ventilatoren heeft

[@R5Baccara]

Dat klopt, voor een betere koeling van de 1.4 is er een radiateur uit een Renault 5 Alpine ingezet. En die heeft dubbele ventilatoren.

[@GoliathAngelus]

+R5Baccara Wat leuk. Als ik er ooit een goede tegen kom hoop ik deze ook te kunnen kopen.

[@josepunto]

Felicidades

[@CanalRenoceronte]

Parabéns, hj em dia é normal um Renault durar brincando 500.000 mas antigamente era diferente então parabens denovo

[@MsiVip]

my neighbour has the renault 19 1989... first hand and 467000km...

[@jaggass]

how the hell have you got 500,000 on it? it must be one tough motor

[@Grone13]

The 4l is a very durable car, a friend of mine has one almost as old as this one and it doesn't has a single problem.

[@weaponofmassconstruction1940]

Any update? Is it still alive? 🤔

[@Corsa15DT]

MIne was going 140 kmh with the 850cc engine

[@nemo491]

Brawo :)) .

[@oscarzapico5493]

great!

[@iachi73]

R-4 Gtl is a 1100!

[@IntyMichael]

You think the owner doesn't know it's car? 60 hp out of a 1.4l motor sounds total normal for a 80s Renault. My R9 hat the same engine.

[@barbakunst]

1107 ccm3

[@Menzimuckeli]

He put in not the original motor, so he could drive 150 km/h, otherwise the limit was always 130!

[@neeleshbhairosingh139]

Prachtige wagen! Ik ga komend weekend van mijn R4 GTL, wel 1100 CC, de koppelingsplaat vervangen. Heb jij dit al een keer toevallig zelf gedaan?

[@martijnbrouwer2986]

Neelesh Bhairosingh van de eigenaar: Ik heb in mijn leven al meerdere koppelingen van een 4 GTL vervangen. Gebruik altijd nieuwe onderdelen, dus zowel drukgroep, druklager als frictieplaat gelijk vervangen. Zelf haal ik motor met bak er in zijn geheel uit. Dat werkt makkelijker als alleen de bak verwijderen en scheelt nauwelijks in tijd. Bovendien kun je dan alle bouten en moeren nog eens controleren en natrekken. Succes ermee.

[@fhanoradolfogarciabuitron8555]

Super...😜👍🇨🇴

[@mariopizzamanmario8563]

Leeft ie nog? Inmiddels de 1 miljoen gehaald???

[@R5Baccara]

Nee, de aandrijving leeft voort in een andere R4, net als de meeste andere onderdelen. Koets en chassis staan er nog wel.

[@mancikjm]

Is it alive now ? :))

[@R5Baccara]

No, sadly enough it ended at 527.531 kilometres. The rear axle gave up...

[@R5Baccara]

More specific: the mounting of the axle fell apart. Could be fixed, but at a price… Here it is today: db.tt/D3wZz44b db.tt/fttjdU4M db.tt/6qxttM9Y

[@oschlieder]

+R5Baccara It´s a pity. Somebody could rescue it, body looks good and chassis need some work. Don´t left it there, please.

[@Luckyjo21]

+R5Baccara get it fixed!!

[@kanal-ox1my]

I suggest you guys who want it to live and not rot away, start donating to the owner for repairs. And then for every trivial thing to be fixed that stops it, until it literally falls apart and we know what the max mileage of these cars is. if you cure what can be cured.. (until it hangs together with ducttape)

Questa è la macchina più brutta della storia secondo me, bassa davanti, alta dietro, come se avesse gli ammortizzatori rotti, sembra disegnata da un bambino di 5 anni, sportello dietro enorme, sproporzionato come se ci dovessi far entrare un cinghiale vivo, il vecchio che la guida è il tipico proprietario di una macchina simile hahahaha Eppure quando ero piccola ce n'era in giro un mucchio, la gente è assurda
