F7P... Clio or R19?

Post by **Jonofdoom** » 13 Jun 2009 01:39 am

ANOTHER F7P question, sorry:D

Basic one really.. Will the Clio and R19 F7P engines both be an equally simple swap into a 1.7 340?

As far as I can remember from lurking here, they're the same bar some pump or other on teh R19 that needs swapping for a Clio unit, but I thought I'd double check first!

Just started looking for one:D

R19 runs coil pack Ignition?

According to someone on retro-renault they both use the dizzy setup.. And all the pumps are the same... "Only the looms, inlet manifold and aux belt set up differs." I don't know where I got that pump thing from:D

Look like I'll be just fine with either!

Both the same bar the thermostat housing being a little better suited on the 19 one. I've fitted one of each. It's the meganes with dizzyless coil pack ignition.

the pump thing your refering to could be the electronic water pump that runs on after engine switch of, i cant remember if it was in the 19 but it was defo in the clio or the other way round.

Don't think either of mine had any electric water pump thing, though the R19 one had a slightly more complex water hose arrangement, with some sort of heat exchanger sandwich plate on the oil filter.

Cheers... Looks like either will do just fine then:D

do people think the second water pump is needed? as i've heard some say that it can damage the heads without it?

Not needed the clios suffered from a very small rad so they added the auxillary pump, volvo rad 52mm is more than adequete.

hmmmm, where bouts is the auxilary pump located?, is it next to the dizzy cap?, only reason i ask is because my volvo had the r19 f7p engine in and now its running a clio f7p with the r19 modified loom?.
I hope this damn thing will run with the 19 loom!

cheers
