Quote from J. Townsend on the Renaultsport forum: " The 1.2 turbo engine replaces the 1.4 16V and the 1.6 16V engine in Clio and Modus. The 1.2 16V normally aspirated continues."

Hmm very interesting news..... Especially to a few people who went to a certain stadium a few weeks back..

Wish they would do a 1.8 turbo replacement for the 197

No. My point being was that Renault are dropping the 1.4 and 1.6 16v engines in favour of the 1.2 turbo. That wasn't mentioned when the Clio 1.2 Turbo was first mooted.
