Whilst fixing an early MK2 Clio have discovered that all of the following thermostat part numbers are equivalent and interchangeable:
Renault:
77 00 868 980
1st Line:
FTS27289
Motaquip:
VTS257
Euro Car Parts:
2097459071
Quinton Hazell:
QTH376K
Misc OEM:
5101345Q
6.439.89
8620 131 88
5493.89
CT5185
Be aware that Renault fitted many different thermostats to their cars over the years. Our Clio has three different types of 'stat listed, all different. It seems early MK2's shared a lot of parts with the late MK1's.
Double check the above numbers before ordering anything!!
