Suspension Differences on new clios

[Padso]

Lads can anyone tell me would a full sspension kit for a 1.2 or 1.4 clio fit the 1.5dci clios?

I need to know asap so i can decide which kit to buy for my dci 65 car.

I dont think so because i notice a lot of diesel cars have separate applications. I would just ask a mechanic at your local dealer as there arent many diesel owners on the forum im afraid.

 

[Padso]

No problem Rob thanks again

ANY clio (non 172) as far as i know from 1998 onwards is the same

 

[RobFenn]

Do you know if the 1.6 has different brakes fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Same "i think" (its got rear drums, right???)

Dynamique brake pads are the same as on R5GTT and 205 gtis

 

[RobFenn]

Which would explain why theyre fairly abrasive and ruin the discs..

ok well ill investigate it as i need a whole new left brake anyway.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Yeah my discs are knackered after 32000miles!!!!!!(im on my 3rd set of brake pads!!!) £80 form Renault for new discs!!!! Sod that, ill get some R5GTT Brembo Max discs for £22 each!!!! (got to check where the ABS sensor is first!!!)

 

[Padso]

Sounds like a good idea there Fred bout the brakes is this the same with the DCis? Do they share the same pads as the R5 GTT?

 

[RobFenn]

Id expect so

What do you have to do with the ABS? I have fitted brakes to a non abs car before but not with it.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Thats why i need to check!!! I think that the abs discs have a sensor on them, but im not sure how the car senses the brakes locking up, on VWs its a sensor on the hub NOT the disc, but i have a feeling Renaults are different!!!
