Took about an hour. It's fiddly, but not too bad. If it isn't leaking, yeah wait until next oil/filter change. But you don't lose much oil doing it, so no harm just getting it done

No worries, hopefully my guide above helps too... I'm not sure if the 200 engine bay differs all that much. The oil cooler is a known leak source, so will be interesting to see what yours is like when it comes off. Let us know

I bought one from a brand called NRF. Think they're a Dutch manufacturer. Fitment was OE and it's been perfectly fine

So the part I bought actually had part number: 7700114040 It fit my Clio 197 fine and has been on since this thread

I'll check and get back to you, bud. The cooler does come with a gasket on

I finally got round to doing the Oil cooler swap today. I hope this helps some other folk in the future, as I explain how i did this job, without lifting the car and accessing only from the top of the engine bay! :smiley: To start off with, it is important to remember that gravity is your...

You are a legend! Thanks for this!

Ahhh, I had thought about a coolant flush, but totally overlooked the AC drain/recharge! I will have a think about it, before tackling the job then. Thanks again for your assistance @RSRowe, I appreciate it!

Thinking about how best to get to the oil cooler, with pipework being in the way of it from top. Is the Bumper and Radiator (Coolant and AC) removal a big job on the 197? Thinking that would open up the front, for me to workface on, instead of above/below. Any advise is much appreciated!

Thanks bud! It looks like the units come with it, from what I am looking at buying. If they turn up without, I will of course buy a new one. You are a legend!

@R20BTG , you are an absolute GEM! Thank you so much for doing this. I was trying to find part diagrams online, and could not get them anywhere. Have an amazing day!

Thanks @RSRowe / @R20BTG / @funMACHINE, your assistance has been great! I will order up. Am very relieved that mating surface is on a part that can be removed and replaced! Have a great day, all!

Thank you so much, I appreciate the clarification! I am starting to doubt the part number I originally provided (8200806731), as it claims to be for the F4R 832 engine. The 197 has a F4R 830, right? Does anyone happen to know if the 197 and 200 engines differ enough, that the oil cooler would...

Thank you for this confirmation, I really appreciate it! So if I remove that, in theory the oil cooler should be able to be gently pulled away from the block, to fit a new cooler?

Hi All, I have a 2007 Clio 197. I have an issue by where the new oil filter is leaking around the seal. Looking at the mating face of the oil cooler (The thing the oil filter screws on to, which has coolant pipes), it is disformed, as though maybe the previous oil filter was tightened too...
