IMPORTANT
Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and oper-
ation recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see ) .
IMPORTANT
When working in the engine compartment, take
care as the radiator fan(s) may start up unexpect-
edly (risk of being cut).
To avoid any risk of serious burns when the engine
is hot:
-do not open the expansion bottle cap,
-do not drain the cooling system,
-do not open the bleed screw(s).
WARNING
Before the operation, protect the electrical accesso-
ries to prevent any risk of shor t circuiting and pro-
tect the belts to avoid damaging them.
WARNING
When carr ying out a repair that requires a complete
change, it is essential to flush the circuit with clean
water, blast compressed air through the circuit to
drive out the water, fill and bleed the circuit and
then measure the effective protection.
The cr iteria to be met are:
-protection down to -25˚C ±± ± ±
2 for cold and temper-
ate countries,
-protection down to -40˚C ±± ± ±
2 for "extreme cold"
countries.
WARNING
The coolant helps to keep the engine running prop-
erly (heat exchange).
The system must not operate using pure water.

The circuits are designed to be pressurised, so be
careful at high temperatures (risk of serious burns).
Do not remove the cap from the expansion bottle
while the engine is hot.
Take care when carrying out a repair under the bon-
net, as the radiator fan(s) may start to operate with-
out warning.

EXHAUST
Exhaust: Precautions for the repair
19B
Before cutting the exhaust system, draw a line (D) be-
tween the two marks (P1) and (P2) .
The distance between the two marks on the exhaust
pipe is (X1) : 90 mm (all types except RENAULT
SPORT).
The distance between the two marks on the exhaust
pipe is (X1) : 80 mm (RENAULT SPORT).
3 - Operate tool Mot. 1199-01Fit the (Mot. 1199-01) (1) on the exhaust pipe.
Tighten the two bolts on the tool until they touch the
pipe in order to clamp the tool onto the pipe.
Turn the cutting tool using the handle and pressing it
against the pipe (as indicated in the diagram above).
Tighten the two bolts on the tool whilst cutting, until the
pipe is completely cut.
Once the pipe is cut, file and deburr the end of the pipe
to be used on the vehicle again.
4 - Positioning the exhaust trunking

Note:
For CLIO II RENAULT SPORT with F4R*730,
F4R*732 and F4R*736 engines, the cutting area is
shown by a single mark on the exhaust pipe.
Cut the exhaust pipe by placing the (Mot. 1199-01)
on the mark.
