Hey there everyone, I have a non cup Renault Clio 197 (2007) and I’m getting a bit of a knocking from the drivers side over small bumps and lower speeds. As a process of elimination to identify the knocking and for the opportunity to upgrade from the original shocks and struts that came with...

Hi everyone, I’m wanting to sign up for a paid subscription so I can view some of the “How to” threads. I went to the sticky to find out how to become a paid member but I don’t see where it described to click in order to do so? It said click on “user cp” in the menu but not seeing it… Thanks...

Hi all, I was trying to put my subframe bracket (this thing below) but it seems that one of the threads in the subframe is shot. What part do I need to replace for this? How bad is it to drive with this and the subframe brace/bracket screwed in at only 3 points? Also, my lower engine...

Hi all, I feel like I’ve been spamming the board these last several months but there’s always an ever evolving amount of projects with my Clio. To keep it short, usually within the first 10 minutes of driving the orange alternator light starts flashing for like 15 seconds then disappears. No...

Hey everyone, I had a similar thread I made several weeks ago so I thought I’d create a thread with some continuity that other newbie Clio owners can unabashingly come to if need be. Naturally, I’ll go ahead and start. I took some things off, including the airbox as I was cleaning some stuff...

Hey again everyone, Did my first oil change on the Clio. As a little backstory , I used this stuff to clean out any gunk right before my oil change. I added it to the motor and let it run for 15 mins and shut the car off. I was going to drain the oil but I had to delay a few days due to not...

Hi guys, I have my car on some ramps and I’ve been poking around underneath the car. I saw this metal bar looking thing about the length of my arm spanning below the oil pan. Out of curiosity I unbolted it (4 bolts) and it came right off. No part number or Renault marks or anything… it seems...

Hey guys- I took off both plastic splash panels as I’ll be putting a steel one sump guard on. I thought that while I have them off I should take it for a thorough cleaning underneath. Here are a few pics (forgot to take some after though). As for my questions, upon inspecting underneath, I...

Hi all, I’ve seen a supercharger kit from ktech and a turbo kit from Laurent motors… https://www.laurent-motors.com/en/turbo-kit/60-46228-turbo-kit-f4r-20l-16s-stage-3.html Are there any other vendors out there besides just those 2? Not sure I want to go down this route but taking a peek...

Hi everyone, I’ve been on the hunt for some time to find some manifold to exhaust parts not in the UK (due to the insane shipping, tariffs) and something that doesn’t require frankensteining/welding parts; as I’d like to keep the stock exhaust from axle on back and just plug n play. I came...

Hi everyone, I’m reverting to a stock radio that I bought online. It said it’s a radio for a Clio ‘06 and beyond, but one of the main plugs (first picture) doesn’t fit. I plugged the other things in the back but no sign of life at all. By the way, I have a 2007 Renault Clio RS 197. Do I even...

Hi all, I’m looking for a stock radio but not sure where to find one (preferably in the EU so as not to incur huge taxes upon picking it up) and I’m not sure which radio my car is wired for. I’ve attached some pictures. Can anyone tell which radio would hook up to these connections or would it...

Hi all, My hood, while in decent shape, certainly has its share of nicks and paint chips. I came across this fiberglass option which they claim is only 1-1.2 kilos. https://www.pesch.cz/en/product/fiberglass-hood-for-renault-clio-2007 I know our stock hoods are already tiny and weight...

Hi everyone, I’m a little over 2 months into owning my 2007 Clio RS. I took my car to a shop today to do some paint work. I stayed with the guys as they removed the front bumper and there appeared was the Xenon paraphernalia/hardware. The wires weren’t really tidy and there was a zip tie...

Hi everyone, I was pulling out some wiring from this sound system the PO had. While it’s obvious what was with the subwoofer in the back (I tossed them), I discovered these wires here. They ran from behind the middle console and along the passenger floor board and to the back. I can’t...

Hey everyone, I’m fairly new to Renaults although I’ve done a fair bit of research. I want to be clear about the different sport models. The below is a 2007 Clio in Athens, Greece. I assume since it doesn’t have the red calipers nor the anthracite wheels that it’s just a “normal” RS? So is...
