Additional Timing Belt Protection Plate - Clio 2 RS (F4R)

Clio 2 RS Timing Belt Protection Plate: What You Lose Without This Safety Feature

As a specialist in sports vehicle maintenance (since 2010), Optimiz Access knows that the biggest fear of a Renault Sport owner is a timing belt failure. Without this additional protection plate, you leave your F4R engine vulnerable to external failure that can cause thousands of euros in damage and make you lose the use of your Clio 2 RS for many weeks.

The Unacceptable Risks You Take Without This Plate

The engine bay of the Clio 2 RS (including the Clio 2 RS 172 and Clio 2 RS 182) is exposed. Without this protection, you risk:

• The projection of stone chips or road debris which, by lodging behind the pulley, can cause the timing belt to jump or snap.
• The consequence of a broken alternator belt (or accessory belt). This, upon disintegrating, can wrap around the crankshaft pulley and lead to the immediate destruction of your timing system and therefore the engine.

You lose peace of mind and compromise the reliability and performance of your sports vehicle.

The Solution: Advanced Protection for the F4R Engine

This protection plate is designed specifically to enclose and secure the most critical area of your F4R engine. It is an essential mechanical upgrade for anyone who engages in sport driving or seeks maximum engine reliability.

⚠️ Warning and Installation Responsibility ⚠️

ATTENTION: These covers are a very tight fit between the timing belt and the back of the crankshaft pulley due to the very limited space available. It is necessary to check the clearance between the timing belt and the pulley and adjust the cover spacing if necessary. Ensure you have this clearance before starting the engine. We will not accept returns of this product due to rubbing; it is your responsibility to ensure the **fitment** is correct before starting the engine.
