  • ✔ Clio-Wide F9Q EGR System Resolution: We upgrade the EGR valve (OEM 7700427246) and cooler across all 1.5dCi Clio variants using Renault Service Bulletin C20-005-compliant parts.

    Our specialists understand that F9Q engines in Clio Mk3/Mk4 variants all suffer identical EGR carbon buildup after 80k miles due to shared valve design. We provide complete EGR delete conversions or upgraded components that eliminate this series-wide failure pattern, ensuring your replacement engine won't face the same fate.

  • ✔ K4M Timing Chain & Belt Expertise: We address both timing chain (OEM 7700831845) and belt failures affecting K4M engines across Clio 1.6 16V petrol variants from 2005-2012.

    While early Clio 1.6 16V used timing belts and later variants switched to chains, both systems fail predictably after 100k miles. Our specialists rebuild K4M engines with upgraded tensioners and guides, preventing the chain slap and belt failure that plagues this entire engine family across the Clio range.

  • ✔ K9K Diesel Injection System Overhaul: Complete common rail (OEM 7700831901) and injector rebuilds for K9K engines in Clio 1.5dCi variants from 2001-2019.

We provide complete fuel system rebuilds with upgraded pumps and injectors, preventing the fuel starvation and misfiring that affects this entire diesel engine family.

  • ✔ K7M Petrol Engine Carbon Cleaning: Complete intake decarbonisation for K7M engines across Clio 1.2 16V and 1.4 petrol variants using ultrasonic cleaning technology.

    K7M engines in Clio Mk2/Mk3 variants all suffer identical carbon buildup in intake ports and valves after 70k miles due to shared direct injection design. Our specialists perform complete engine disassembly and carbon removal, restoring performance and preventing the misfiring that plagues this entire petrol engine family.

  • ✔ F9Q Turbocharger Replacement: Complete turbo rebuilds with upgraded bearings (OEM 7700831869) for F9Q engines across all Clio 1.5dCi variants.

    F9Q turbos in Clio diesels fail predictably after 90k miles due to shared Garrett design and oil cooling system. Our specialists provide complete turbo replacements with upgraded internals, preventing the boost leaks and oil consumption that affects this entire turbocharged diesel engine family across the Clio range.

  • ✔ Cooling System Overhaul: Complete water pump (OEM 7700115471) and thermostat replacement for all Clio engine families to prevent overheating damage.
