172DD Cup
or is it 1125 and the one i got from eurocarparts is a 1127?
either way a few mm either side won't make a difference, the alternator/tensioner on the cup gives you quite a few mm of adjustment.
it's a simple job, which makes a change on the clio. just three bolts to loosen on the alternator- two bolts hold the alternator in position and one small upwards facing 10mm nut that adjusts the tension. loosen them all so the alternator pivots downwards to release the tension. remove the belt, re-route the new belt and tighten up the 10mm bolt until you get a firm aux belt, then tighten up the two main bolts and jobs done.
with regards to firmness, i've tightened mine up so i've got about 1cm movement when i push the belt upwards in the middle of the longest run between pulleys (between the crankshaft pulley and pas pump)
pm me your email address and i'll send you renaults technical documents on the cup which detail (not clearly) the aux belt change.
