Renault Clio 1 engine options

Different engine types for the Renault Clio 1 from 1990 to 1998

The Clio 1 comes in seven engine versions from 1990 to 1998. The 60 hp 1.2 E5F and D7F open the petrol range, followed by the 1.4 E7J and the 1.8 F3P, the latter with single-point injection. The 16-valve F7P (140 hp, 137 hp with catalytic converter) and the Williams' F7R (150 hp) top the line-up. The only diesel is the 65 hp indirect-injection 1.9 D F8Q. The whole range is belt-driven. A look at your Clio's engine type saves you from ordering an incompatible part.
