OEM Rear Brake Hose Renault Clio R3 7711160658

Why Is the Rear Brake Hose (Part Ref 7711160658) Critical on Clio R3?

In rally and circuit racing, the hydraulic braking system of a race car like the Renault Clio R3 Access and Maxi endures extreme hydraulic pressure and thermal stress. The rear flexible brake hose (ref 7711160658) acts as the essential flexible bridge between the chassis bulkhead fitting and the rear caliper hard pipe, accommodating extensive rear suspension travel while maintaining consistent hydraulic pressure.

What You Risk by Racing with a Worn or Non-Standard Brake Hose

A degraded hydraulic hose on a competition car directly compromises driver safety, lap times, and mechanical reliability:

• Spongy Brake Pedal and Loss of Modulation: Degradation of the internal braiding causes hose expansion under heavy foot pressure, impairing pedal feel and brake modulation during threshold braking.
• Risk of Hose Failure and Total Braking Loss: Continuous exposure to flying gravel, chassis friction, and intense exhaust heat weakens the outer casing, leading to catastrophic fluid failure during a stage.
• Technical Non-Compliance and Fitting Stress: Using universal or incorrect length hoses creates mechanical tension on bulkhead fittings or rigid caliper lines during full suspension compression and rebound.

The Guarantee of an Official Renault Sport Competition Part

To preserve factory performance standards and pass technical scrutineering without issue, the genuine OEM Renault reference 7711160658 strictly meets the official Renault Sport engineering specifications for Clio R3 models. Constructed with heavy-duty reinforced braiding compatible with high-temperature racing brake fluids (DOT 4 & DOT 5.1 / racing), this flexible hose ensures instant pressure transfer and long-term durability.

Vehicle Compatibility and Application

This rear brake hose is a direct replacement for:

• Renault Clio 3 R3 Access (Rally)
• Renault Clio 3 R3 Maxi (Rally)
• Mounts directly on the rear hydraulic brake line (bulkhead connector to caliper hard pipe)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Brakes & Motorsport Expert Advice

When should brake hoses be replaced on a Clio R3?

In motorsport, brake hoses and fittings should be inspected before every rally or test session. Any signs of chafing, outer rubber cracking, or weeping at the crimped fittings demand immediate replacement before hitting the track.

Does reference 7711160658 fit directly onto the OEM bulkhead fitting?

Yes. As a genuine component direct from the official Renault Sport Competition catalog for the Clio R3, the hose length, thread pitch, and end fittings match the factory installation perfectly without modification.

Is a full brake system bleed required after replacement?

Absolutely. Any time the hydraulic circuit is opened, a complete brake bleed is required to purge trapped air. Using high-boiling-point competition brake fluid is strongly recommended.
