had to get the clutch from euro car parts and they sent me the wrong one even though i gave them my reg lol,
think my 340 is on the changeover year, 90 - 91
they sent wrong thermostat too, any ideas where to find out which engine i have?

Think its probably the Renault F-series 80 bhp (60 kW) 1.7 litre OHC petrol engine (designated the B172) as far as I can tell man.
Someone with a bit more technical knowledge might tell you different mind.
Probly best wait for a deffinate answer from a V3M Genius.
Theres always clutches and thermostats knocking round ebay as far as ive seen man. Saves a dealer having your eyes out.

Acording to my clutch book the late 1.7 changed to the same clutch as the 440 1.7 / 1.8. This is as of 1990.
There are only two types for the 1.7 340 so it has to be the other one you need. Is the one you have listed as being also for the 440?

nah the one for the 440 seems to be completely different, the current pressure plate is a Sachs branded one and the one i bought was a valeo, the only thing i can do is try getting a replacement sachs one or as you say get the volvo 440 clutch kit from the 1.8 carb b18k/kp/kpd engine 1990

How is yours different to the one you got bigaston? From memory (Dai will correct me if I'm wrong) his book says that late 1.7's had a larger number of splines on the bellhousing output shaft but I've still yet to see a late with this.
From memory, when I was looking for my hybred bodge I've put in my car, 300's are 200mm plates with 20splines, with the B18K/KP etc showing 200mm disc with 26splines. Later turbo's (not sure about the F, U variants) had a larger diameter plate.

Afraid that wont fit a 340 mate if it's off your 360 turbo?
