- Very boring, but potentially useful video of how to resolve the issue of coolant loss on the Renault 0.9TCe engine.
Renault Captur/Renault Clio etc
Man this is the most complete video on this issue repair
Hope it helps mate
Hi. Your clip was very helpful. I had the same symptom of loosing coolant from my 1.2 liter Clio and it was from the same place. Your clip was very clear and well explained. Thanks.
You’re welcome
This guy is hilarious... Nothing better then watching car videos with abit of comedy 😂😂😂
Thanks mate, don’t forget to have a butchers through my other videos for more of the same type of dumb shit 😆
Just got this problem.so thanks for the video. This is added to the squeaky suspension. The front brakes sound like a banshee chasing me. And for a car that uses so much plastic there is the rust. It's nice to see that Renault are solving the problem of all the plastic in the sea by sticking It in their cars . I had a Renault in 1990 and it's reassuring to know that they are still making the same crap with the same problems
All those are just design features. Absolutely hateful thing tbh.
Did the job today , your video was a great help .
If it helps anyone I lost 2 litres of coolant doing the job and the 3rd bleed valve is on the left hand side of the rad (looking at the car )
A Nissan gasket part will also fit too .
Brilliant, glad it helped!
The part is called a water outlet (£104), I made the mistake of ordering a thermostat housing which goes into the other side of the engine. Anyway I didn't have the confidence to fit it so my local garage did it for £60 labour. Also important to know that after you may think it's still leaking as the coolant level will drop and the excess coolant will be puddled under the panel beneath the car, the coolant level naturally goes down as the engine cools etc. Hope this helps someone
That could come in useful. I got the part off eBay which called it a thermostat housing, but on eBay I had the benefit of a picture to compare,.. which I didn’t look at properly and still got it wrong 🤷♀️
My exact problem, thank you so much for taking the time to put this up
You’re welcome. Hope it helps!
You are a champion. Great detail of every step of the process. Thank you. 🙏
Thanks, hope it helped
My clio 1.2 tce (which is very very similar) wasn't doing this. mine had excessive pressure in the cooling system which continued to be misdiagnosed by 2 different garages. I knew about the bleed for the air, and the correct coolant (massively important that bit) but mine was making the water in the coolant mix boil. this causes excessive pressure in the coolant system and eventually the expansion tank will explode, like mine did. I didn't get any warnings though. No HT on the dash, just a slight fluid loss. Turns out that my head gasket has been failing for quite a long time. possibly even up to 30,000 miles. the garage that eventually found it said that the gasket might have been 'mis seated' when the car was constructed in turkey.
They’re not unknown for head gaskets unfortunately. Pressurising coolant is usually a symptom of HG failure between the fire ring and water jacket, but not being bled up properly can give very similar symptoms. A sniff test can give a better idea, but with the way EGR coolers work on some cars even that can give a red herring these days.
Very helpful. I have exactly the same car & issue (the wife’s favorite car) lol 😅. You make it look easy. I’ll ask a mechanic to do what you did. Thank you.
Thanks, hope the video helps
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I’m not doing it myself. I’ll leave it to the professional. Are you busy January?
@@anthonycarr8828 sorry, I only work on my own/family’s cars
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos no worries. Have a lovely Xmas
I've got the same problem. So glad I came across this vid, by coincidence. Thank you.
Hope it helps 👍
Awesome video! Had the same issue with my Megane. Dealership sorted it. But seems to be loosing coolant after 6 months again.
Seems to be a common issue to be honest.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I'm sure you're right 👍
Good job, mate.
I have same problem in Megane 1.2TCE 👌
Seems a pretty common issue on these engines.
I have a Renault Megane 1.2 TCe with exactly the same problem, I´ll try to fix with Nural 28 thanks to your video.
Good luck, and hope it helps you out
Did it work with Nural 28?
many thanks mate great stuff you saved me hours of work !
Glad it helped
Mate glad to see you use the exact same torque wrench as me cheers for the vid
Very accurate product.
Thank this was my issues great video. Ps you can start car by having break pressed down. Saves clutch.
Glad it helped, and thanks. I’ll try that if I’m ever unfortunate enough to have to drive the shitter again.
What's the torque setting on the 10 milli bolts for the housing mate ?
🤣
C u next Tuesday lol
Got a stepway with the same engine losing coolant I’m leaving it for a while having seen what a ballache it is! Did the Mrs fiat 500 thermostat housing the other week and it was a doddle in comparison 👍
They don’t make many new cars easy to work on anymore unfortunately 😔
I pay today 220 euros to resolv this problem in my 0.9 tce clio with 66000 klms
(Oficial dealer Lisbon/Portugal)
👍
Brilliant video thank you.
Thanks for watching, hope it helps!
I have the Sandero 0.9tce.. That part looks like it was meant for my car.. The part I got is not authentic renault but I couldnt find anything else.. China seems to assume that I dont need a thermostat for my region or something... you'll see the housing is actually 2 sections.. the part that mounts up to the engine.. and the the tail end bunch of pipe that has a pressure emergency break cap.. they join with 2 plates with another gaskett.. (not the hot plug, leave that cap alone, I think it has a steel rod that melts at critical temperatures) that assembly can be removed from the engine mounting to reveal a little cradle housing thats supposed to house the thermostat... mine opens to reveal one end, (the engine mount side) with half a cradle and the other half or cap side with that hollow redesighned to be flat.. so a thermostat cant fit, (unless you saw it in half down the middle.. haha..).. I suppose China kept the base part compattible in case I can still use my original cap/pipe complex.. So now Im left with trying to service and clean my old thermostat if I cant find a new one, at least the gasketts is new and so is the temperature sensor, that can be refitted on my old housing.. JUST BE CAREFULL.. allthough I think the car will run without a thermostat.. I was lucky to discover the turbo water pipe connection was blocked on the china part.. inside the tube end was a plastic cast injection port that didnt sever.. or I quess QA was not done on these so nobody popped it out... Could have ruined my day with a toasted turbo core... Good luck and thank you.. Maybe China was thinking.. you need your original cap complex to visit midas and let them sort through the sizes untill they find one.. so you get a temporary cap for free...
This was supposed to be a genuine part but think it came off eBay so 🤷♀️. That blocked but is something to watch out for, good job you noticed it!
Kolay Gelsin Türkiyeden selamlar 👋🚘
I’ve no idea what that means, but hi 👋
Hello Sir, saw your video and its great. I had the same issue for Dacia Logan and the mechanic replaced the whole thermostat instead of just the seal. What do you think ? Thanks
@@abutharm hi mate. The stat housing is the standard procedure. The gasket isn’t available separately anymore from what I can see, I’m not sure it ever was I think I just got lucky finding one!
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Thanks for the quick response. 😊
Great video. I have some problems or similiar sympthoms. I have added few times coolant and after driving sometimes coolant smells right side of the car front. Can't see a leakage in engine or dripping under the car. How does in your case you find out the leak from? Same 0.9 tce engine also
It’s probably leaking really slowly and evaporating before it has time to drip. That’s the way this one was leaking. You need to look for coolant residue, like a pink crusty marks. It could be from the same place as this one but with the smell being where it is, could also be the radiator where the metal joins the plastic or even a coolant hose joint. Small leaks like this can be hard to find.
Thanks for response. I found the leak today, is the same thermostat housing that you had in the video. The coolant leaks were same spot over the gearbox. Thanks to you. Car is going to repairshop thursday morning for repairs.
Damn, I'm so glad I took out warranty on my partners car, could I shite be bothered with this mess!
£72 later, problem resolved. If you don't know - just take it to the experts.
Great job never the less, very entertaining!
There’s always that option 😂
Thanks for watching
Can you please tell what type of AC coolant do you use in Renault captur. Have the same issue but I want to fill it up to be able to take it to the mecanic, and I don't seem to find what type of coolant should I use.
You just mean the engine coolant? This one used the red stuff if I remember right but any car parts shop should he able to confirm the correct stuff
Question ?was the system pressurising like head gasket symptoms?
@@MaxMax-th7uz a little bit but only when coolant got low
Will this problem be covered under dealer's extended warranty?
I doubt it, most extended warranties aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on
Hi! - do you remember the part number for the gasket?
No sorry, iirc it came from a local motor factors. Don’t think it was a genuine Renault part though.
I used part no.RE110624453R. Termostat housing gasket.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos So. I am doing this job as we speak. The RE001624453R part below works. Just wanna say thanks for saving one of the claps, the one where you PUSH and not PULL, that goes into the cabin heater.
Hey I have a 2016 Renault captur h4b engine 0.9, it was mixing oli and water in the water bottle, I changed the oil cooler. Than it bursted the water pipe from the engine to the car ac radiator I have changed both thermostat now it's only bowing cold air in all temperatures and the water bottle is very hot what can be the problem
Sounds like you may not have to bled up properly, or you potentially have a blown head gasket
After being at Renault, they changed a thermostat gasket... 300€ the joke.
I get home (10 km from the dealership) and the coolant is again at 0!!!!
I go back to Renault...
"We can't explain it" "It doesn't make sense"....
We go back to refill and I do a test... they put the car on a bench and when they lift it up and remove the caps from the chassis, about 15 litres of coolant fall to the ground!!!! :eek: :eek:
The liquid was going into the chassis! normally it goes into the passenger compartment, on the floor... but on this occasion it was going straight into the chassis and you could hear it falling down the inside of the driver's door.
Has this happened to anyone?
After the tremendous scare and damage, the mechanics told me at the Renault workshop:
"It's the first time we've seen something like this".
I go to the office to say that they charged me 300€ to leave it the same and they tell me "no, I needed that repair too".
And that they had to dismantle the whole car and the dashboard to change the radiator and we were already going to almost 1000€ with the labour because there are many hours of labour.
In the end I was able to take it to a trusted mechanic who told me that he doesn't understand why they changed the gasket if it's not up there?
They are going to try to bypass the radiator to see if it is still leaking or not and if not, we will have to dismantle the dashboard and change the radiator...
I'm thinking of complaining to Renault because paying 300€ for a bad diagnosis is out of the question.
A coolant leak that big, shouldn’t be that hard to find 🤔
my2015 kangoo has a leak around that thermostat housing area as well. leaking is coming thru 1 single bolt. so i just ordered a new gasket seal. should fix it. it actually wasn't leaking at all til i went to tighten the bolt.. thats wen it occured. if it aint broken dont touch it! lesson learned for me
😬 just makes sure to have a close look to make sure you’ve not cracked the plastic housing by tightening it when you change the gasket…
great video , non around like this thanks mate
You’re welcome, hope it helped
That same seal leak problem was already on my -05 Renault modus 1.4
Seems a common issue on the plastic housings
Very useful, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
Hi friend, can you explain or write down exactly which part you replaced or what is its name?
I just changed the housing gasket. I think it was listed as be thermostat housing gasket but I can’t find it on eBay now. Main dealers should be able to help off a microfiche is have thought
I believe these are the part number if someone else need them 110601073R, 110603082R.
I’m having the same issue and this video helped a lot 🫶
@@dennis420lundin happy the vid helped you
Hello there, any chance you could work on my Kadjar 1.2 petrol, I bought with few things like a radiator, condenser, air intake pipe and some other pipe/hose disconnected.
I don’t work on cars usually, just my own/family’s
Okay, thank you.
Would you now the part number and were you was able to get hold off the rubber seal please.
Sorry mate, I can’t even remember where we got it from tbh
Thank ok it looks like my leek was from one of the weird plastic rings on the pipe luckily I nicked a metal jubilee clip of the air hose. Took me ages trying to cut the plastic clip off. Just hope IAM not celebrating to early. Really enjoying the videos
Look at all the pipes and shit going into this engine! Crazy
Makes a simple job 10x what it needs to be.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos straigtpipe the 107 with an stijgerpijp
@@MilankoDebil I might ghetto decat the shitter soon
Does Renault captur used two thermostat
It’s more of a junction pipe than a thermostat, other models that use the same engine use different set ups I believe though
Did you lose much coolant doing the job mate ?
A couple of litres at most if I remember right. Not a massive amount but enough for it to need bleeding back up afterward.
What is the name of the part you changed and how do you bleed the system?
I just typed in thermostat housing on eBay and look for the right one, and got the wrong one lol. Bleeding the system is what I was doing removing the caps near the end on the side of the unit and on the inlet hose to the heater matrix. They look like tyre valve caps.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Thank You
Nissan part #1106200QAB
Mais problème sur mégane 2 1.6l 16v. Les ingénieurs n'y ont pas réfléchis incroyable ! Dommage pour Renault de refaire la même erreur. 😢
Sounds like a typical Renault thing to do to be honest 🤷♀️
Should have put a Shitroen C1 engine in n save all the faff 😁😁 mind you though, i have to say, another technical automotive masterclass on the cars made by Mousier Frenchy 👍👍
1kr is superior in every way 💪
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos true dat as the gangsta massive would say 👍
@@flapsfalkland5181 exactly brah
Does that model have a radiator cap, if so do u fill the radiator before filling the expansion tank?
No rad cap that I saw but the tank is more of a coolant reservoir than a typical expansion tank, it’s pressurised with the coolant system and the coolant goes straight into the radiator from it rather than pushing into it when hot and sucking out of it when cold like a typical expansion tank.
Reason I'm asking is the missus has a micra 2018 but it has the same engine in it, was bought from a dealer, I'm a plant engineer/fitter, she said to me top the washer fluid up so I went to do it and I checked the oil and water while I was there but the coolant like just plain water so dipped it with my hydrometer was only reading -4 so need changed and replaced with 50/50 mix but couldn't find any vids on the car to get an idea of what sort of job it be
@@lewishope271 ohhhh. You could always go with the lazy method I did in my bmw in this other vid. Works with pretty much any car as long as it has bleed points.

Must admit the Renault was looking ok 👍
But looking under the hood it looks way to complicated for my liking 🤕
What a nasty motor 😳
Definitely be sticking with me c1
Ahhhhh chew 🤧🤧🤧
The C1 are wonderfully simple, that’s the thing I love most about mine.
Your video is funny as 😂 wanna come and fix mine have the same issue
Thanks mate, and naaaaahhhh sorry. I only work on my own/families cars 😞
Does anyone know the part number for this gasket ? Thanks .
I think I just got lucky as it was on eBay iirc, but I just had a look and can’t see any sold separately without the housing.
Good done
Thanks mate

hi ,there is another purgecock at radiator!!!!
Thanks, must have missed that one. It bled up ok without it this time though.
May you please help me giving me the reference of the part? Thanks man! I'll subscribe just for it .
I just looked for a thermostat housing gasket and looked for one that looked the same as the old one
👍
I use tiger seal its the best !
The next mechanic will thank you.
Sounds like a bag of spanners my 107 Sounds better
In real life it doesn’t sound like that, I think it’s just the way my phone picks up the audio… it’s still a shit car though.
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos agreed 👍
It's the ticking of the injectors.
@@Targus28 Yeah, shut the bonnet and sit in the car.
My god is this car complicated 💀 as a diy person myself I would never touch that car, seems like they built it so only Thier mechanics could work on that..
A lot of modern cars are that way unfortunately.
