Silicone Air Induction Hose for Renault Clio 2 RS

Why your Clio 2 RS factory intake is costing you performance

The F4R engine found in the Renault Clio 2 RS (172, 182) is a precision power unit that demands a stable air supply. By keeping your original rubber air intake hose, you are exposing your engine to invisible pressure drops. Over time, engine bay heat weakens the rubber, leading to micro-cracks or hose collapse during hard acceleration. This reduces the air passage diameter and immediately kills the throttle response of your hot hatch.

The risks of a worn-out induction hose

• Power Loss: A collapsing hose means an engine that is literally "suffocating."
• Unstable Idle: Air leaks cause incorrect readings for the manifold pressure sensor.
• Compromised Reliability: Risk of total failure during a track session or spirited drive.

The Optimiz Access Solution: Reinforced Silicone Hose

As specialists in sports vehicle maintenance since 2010, Optimiz Access has selected this hose for its superior structural integrity. Unlike rubber, multi-ply silicone maintains its shape and internal diameter regardless of temperature or vacuum pressure. This is an essential upgrade for any enthusiast looking to bulletproof their Clio RS while enhancing the engine bay aesthetics.
