Need Professional's/mechanics Advice----am i right?

[Whalli17]

Got a 1.2 16v 2001 with a throttle body problem.

Bought one off this guy on ebay which was advertised as working on 2001-2008, was the cheapest to auction at £40. Now iv taken the old one out it doesn't match up, quoted the codes to cliospares and it comes up with a 04-06 model.

Also been advertised here: as 01-08------> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a12589e0f

but on cliospares code on mine is same as this one....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4154275cba

WTF?!?

i want my money back, the guy will refund me, but not for postage as he says the body fitted his Y reg clio and says he is in the right. I want all my money back as i would be £10 out of pocket, and i want to proove him wrong


Basically.... I am right in saying that there is only one type of throttle body for a 2001 1.2 16v clio??

Just go through ebay and complain. Buyers always win.

Dependes if the throttle bodies are different for the 8v or 16v? Also whether his Y reg was a mk2 ph1 or an early ph2?!?

 

[Fred@BTM]

there's 2 from memory

06 onwards have a different one to the earlier cars

 

[mr.pink87]

Early D4Fs have the TB in the plenum. On the later models (05 onwards iirc) the body is externally attached to the plenum.

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

shuda got from clio spares

 

[Sean6545]

54 onwards has the external TB. Normally on the earlier ones, its just the connection on the TB thats inside the inlet manifold.
