- Hey guys, today we have a long awaited video. Checking and adjusting the valve clearances on this 2005 Renault Clio 1.2 16v.
This procedure should work for all D4F engines.

Here because at 145k miles, it’s possibly needing checked on our 8-valve 1.2 production year 2000. Haynes manual says it’s not a scheduled maintenance item. This I can understand, as very often as long as they are ‘loose enough’, no end of tinkering with these makes a darn if a difference to a lot of engines (not talking specialist cars here). It’s a bit hard to know with some of this stuff, three examples being: cam belts, recommended at 70k miles but dare you wait, Haynes says 40k miles intervals; automatic transmissions’ ‘lifelong transmission fluid’ they have said for years don’t change it (terrible advice in most but not all cases); manual gearbox oil definitely can do with changing before 70k miles, it can be the difference between seeming like all synchromesh has gone, and everything working fine. Thanks anyway, take care all. [Edit: the D7F 8-valve engine from y2k, is 0.10mm inlet, and 0.20mm exhaust].
Thank you my wife's Mk2 is now very noisy. It is 16 years old - 2008 model. Time to adjust ASAP. I will be using all the related videos.
My clio 3 has same engine. I like watching your videos, I became much more knowledgeable than the mechanics here in Turkey😂.
This is the best car fixing tutorials here on youtube. Thank to you I managed to adjust valves in my Twingo 2 (same engine). I first used the values from the Renault manual, that were to tight. Car did misfire after reasembly. Watching Your move helped a lot. Thank You for a high quality content and greetings from Poland. The car is less noisy when cold started and I also have cleaned a lot of mayonnaise from the rocker cover. My wife uses it in poor conditions for 2, 3km commutes so the engine is cold all the time thats where this cones from probably.
Hi, I've done the clearance adjustment on my mk3. Im not a mechanic but im mechanically minded, and i have done lots of things including clearance settings with my father years ago, so it's not alien to me, howeveri wasn't sure how much of a drag should i feel. I aimed for a decent drag at the middle of the spec (0.28 as my camshaft has a groove) so 0.33 didn't fit in at all, 0.28 had a drag. Same on the exhaust, but with 0.38 and 0.43 didn't go through. Long story short, car sounds better, no more rattling when the engine is cold. Sometimes it takes a little bit more crank when starting up. I'd say 2 rotations more by the sound. When I press the accelerator from idle(in neutral) first it goes down for a second to 500ish rpm, then it goes up fine. Idle is about at 600, I'd say it's like before. Do you guys think I messed up the clearance setting by setting it too tight? Or is it the throttle body if I accidentally knocked it when handling it, maybe the fuel system? Should I re check settings just to make sure?
I need to mention I had 99 octane fuel and an injector cleaner additive into the tank right after the job.
Thanks for anyone's help.
From what you say it would seem you have set the clearances well.
Did you disconnect the battery so that the ECU is relearning adaptive values?
Also I would certainly wait until the tank has run through so that all the cleaner has come through.
@SocketsAndSideburns thanks for the reply. Battery was disconnected. I'm looking into the map sensor and throttle body now, I'll give them a good clean before doing anything else. I had a motorway blast at 70-80mph for an hour and it was all good, no issues, great sounding engine. I also mention, i tried to clean the gunk from the rocker cover and pipes, the breather is clean, but the rocker cover is not 100% good, I ran out of degreaser so there's definitely more gunk under the top cover.
Nice, i will use clio 3 mm clearance for my Proton Savvy (D4F 1.2 16v 722), hello from malaysia.
When you slide the crevice meter with the middle value, then move the valve pusher up and down, if you feel the slack, you know that you still need to tighten the valve pusher. Then try to insert the fracture meter with the middle value, if it does not enter, put in a slit meter with low value, and move the pusher up and down. If there is a felt slack, then setting the slack on the valves is correct. Do not regulate the slack with a slit inserted because you are arranging it, tightening the pusher you knead its thickness.
Gdy wsuniesz szczelinomierz z środkową wartością, to poruszaj popychaczem zaworu w górę i w dół, jeśli wyczujesz luz to wiesz że jeszcze trzeba dokręcić popychacz zaworu. Następnie spróbuj włożyć szczelinomierz z środkową wartością , jeśli nie wejdzie, to włóż szczelinomierz z niską wartością, i poruszaj popychaczem w górę i w dół. Jeśli będzie wyczuwalny luz, to ustawienie luzu na zaworach jest prawidłowe. Nie reguluj luzu przy wsuniętym szczelinomierzu bo go rozkalibrujesz , dokręcając popychacz ugniatasz jego grubość.
I was unsure about the slit/groove and it helped to be fully sure where i needed to look - my engine has the groove.. As i had a good amount of leaks from the valve cover i might as well check the clearance. Wanted to go for the angle method , but ill have a go at the exhaust method too after watching..
It really a high quality content. Great job mate, carry on what you are doing. 👍👍👍
Hi from Moldova! Same engine,camshaft with groove,i make 35 inlet and 45 exhaust😊 5.2l on 100km if driving 70km/h. Clio 4,2015
Hello I have a Clio 3 d4f 740 camshaft with groove what value to use ?
The values on the table for the Clio 3 that say with groove.
Ok cool I will use the 28 inlet and 38 exhaust because that's is in between the two values. Thanks in advance
Thanks for this, this is the same engine fitted to dacia.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 THANKS...hi im from malaysia
Hi there mate, just done on my 2005 Clio Mk2 face-lift with identical engine, however it now sounds way worse, I did intake to 0.15 and exhaust 0.24 decent drag. I'm not convinced these are right settings as before they were at 1.0 and 2.0 and only slightly ticky
Thank you so much for the great explanation, the engine in my grand modus works like new
Great Job!!
4:20 min. Hi, nice video again :) im suprised how many different values are in the table. which of them are the right ones for Dacia Logan MCV2 1.2, y:2016(D4F)? Thanks much
hello, I have the same engine, but I have a problem with gasoline getting into the oil
What kind of journeys does the car get used for?
Hi, can you put the links to the manual you found?
When rotating the engine, is it very bad to go a tiny bit backwards (counterclockwise) if one overshoots the correct point?
It's not good practice, the main reason is that you can jump a tooth on the timing belt potentially.
@@SocketsAndSideburns Ouch, I see, best to be careful with that
Is it unusual to have the cylinders numbered in this order, with number 1 closest to the flywheel/transmission and 4 closest to timing belt? The general wisdom online seems to be that it’s usually numbered the other way around, with timing belt side being the “front” of the engine and cylinder numbering starting from there. Is this is a Renault thing, to have it backwards? Or maybe I’m just confused and my lack of mechanical experience is showing.
It is unusual, Renault do it as do some other manufactures. You just have to always know your cylinder order when doing things like this.
@@SocketsAndSideburns Thank you very much for the replies!
Thank you for posting this video. Just a question: the order of adjysting the valves is the same to any other car with 4 cylinder engines?
I have Clio Storia 1,2 8V 2009, 135000km, recently a drove a car to the mechanic for preventive valve clearance adjustment. When I don't use a car longer then 3-4 days I hear clicking sound from cylinder head when started cold, after 2-3 minutes when engine warms up clicking sound disappear. I did not heard that before valve adjustment, I changed the oil recently and top up to the max. Should I readjust valves or this is normal when engine is not started for a period of 3-4days.
Sounds like they may have been set a little loose. When the engine gets up to temp the clearances are decreasing and eliminating the noise. If it was me I'd go in and check the clearances myself. Remember to do it with the engine cold and to get the 8v engine clearances.
Thanks a lot....🙂
Ďakujeme.
You are very welcome!
Hi there I have on white wire of my ignition coil cut ,do you have picture on where all the 4 wires go
Do you mean the plug from the wiring loom to the coil pack has a cut wire?
Thank you /merci boucoup
شكرا
Thanks.
Thanks!
You are welcome and thankyou for the support.
Hello IV got a clio diesel 2009. Is it hydraulic??
I have a question I have a clio mk3 with the same engine with 170k kilometers. The engine never had a valve adjust in her life. Will I feel any noticeable diffrence
Very difficult to say I'm afraid. I would recommend doing it if you can hear valve noise or if you need to take the rocker cover off anyway.
Good job 👍👍👍
Is this relevant for thr D4FT?
Yes however the removal of the rocker cover is different.
D4F turbo? Identical
The clearances and setting them is the same procedure as in this video but getting to the rockers is obviously different.
@@SocketsAndSideburns I meant valve opening measurements. Are the valves adjusted in the same way on the turbo engine?
Good job,,but,,many talk,,only same isue
How many km you think this engine could last? Mine has 175k
Well the Clio in this video is at 131k miles so around 210k kilometres.
The engines are a very good design and have been in use for over two decades, practically bulletproof. Just keep it well serviced. I'm hoping for at least 200k miles.
@@SocketsAndSideburns waiting for part 4 so next week gonna do It thanks to you
@@SocketsAndSideburns Is part 4 still going to be released?
Sure is. Had some delays but hoping to get it up tomorrow.
@@SocketsAndSideburns ok Thank you
PLEASE tell me you have the values for a 740 engine😢.
Those would be the Clio 3 values.
@@SocketsAndSideburns figured that out after. Worked 3 days on that car. Clutch replaced, starter replaced, some tie rods, half a day only to clean the rocker cover. Yours was looking great. Mine had yellow mayo on every square inch of it. And a thick layer too. Car runs great now. Its like a got a brand new one
