Clio 1.2 16v 36k service

[koi]

My lil Clio is due it's 36k service so just after some advice.

The manual says the fuel filter needs to be changed every 36k miles but the guide on this site says 150k :S Which is right?

Thinking about swapping the air filter for a Pipercross replacement panel but not sure what else to get. What oil/spark plugs do you recommend? And wheres the best place to buy from?

Cheers

This site is right, 150k for the fuel filter.
Spark plugs just stock OE ones or the similar from Halfords. Oil filter use Renault ones as I've found some aftermarkets stuff to be wrongly sold.
Get some decient oil as well and check all thr parts which are listed on the service don't ignore them as you think there ok as many people do. Th reason there on the service is because they fail.

Thought that was a bit early for the fuel filter, one less thing to change I guess.

Just popped into Halfords but they don't stock oil filters for my car so so far my shopping list looks like this.

Halfords:
NGK spark plugs £5 - come in on Monday
4.5L Magnatec GTX £20

Renault:
Oil filter £10 (??) - will phone to check

Demon Tweaks:
K&N panel filter 33-2860 - £35

Have already checked most of the stuff on the list and they will get checked again when it goes in for its MOT on Friday, fingers crossed everthing is good.

What oil should I be using, the manual isn't too clear!

5w40 or 10w40 seem to be popular

Just had my car mot' d and all it needed was a wheel bearing

Funnily enough got told that there is no fuel filter to change on my car, so just need to get a few bits and pieces to keep the wee Clio going for another year.

Gave Renault a call and they said that there are 2 different oil filters, had a quick look and couldn't find the bloody thing. Do I need to take off a cover or something? Anybody be as kind as to post a pic?

Oh and I gave into temptation and bought a Pipercross induction kit, give me some abuse if you want! Now I want to relocate it so that it gets some cold air but does anyone other than k-tec make a relocation kit?

Cheers

Was under the impression thats the Ph2/3s don't have a fuel filter, at least thats what the haynes manual says. Though I did find it very strange not to have one.

Acording to autodata its every 90k or 180 months for an integrated fuel filter

Yeah guy at the garage followed the fuel line and couldn't see the filter so hope he's right.

Now time for a game of spot the oil filter...lol

 

[edde]

PM me your email address and i'll send you as file on the car.

The filter is at the back of the engine on the drivers side on the underside of the car.
