Specific Accessory Belt for A/C Delete Kit Renault Clio 4 RS

What you lose by using an unsuitable belt on your track-ready Clio 4 RS

The Renault Clio 4 RS is a demanding vehicle. When you make a major modification like installing an A/C Delete Kit to lighten and free up the engine, you modify the entire accessory circuit. Failing to acquire this specific belt exposes you to the following risks, which can compromise your track session and the integrity of your mechanical components:

• Loss of Control: A belt that is too long or incorrectly sized can jump off or slip, instantly deactivating the power steering pump (if present) and the alternator. You lose steering assistance and battery charging!
• Overheating and Breakdown: If the belt also drives the water pump (check specific mounting), its failure can lead to catastrophic engine overheating.
• Premature Wear: Incorrect tension or poor alignment caused by a standard belt significantly increases the wear on pulley bearings, the tensioner pulley, and the alternator.

FAQ: Why is this belt essential?

What is the difference between this belt and the original one on my Clio 4 RS?

The difference is crucial: the length. The original belt is too long because it wraps around the A/C compressor. Without this shorter belt, your automatic tensioner will not be able to ensure the correct tension, causing an unpleasant whining noise, belt skipping, and potentially its destruction under full load.

Can this part be installed myself?

Replacing an accessory belt requires specific tools for releasing the automatic tensioner. To guarantee an error-free installation and perfect tension, we recommend installation by a professional. You can, of course, entrust the installation of the A/C delete kit and this belt to our expert technicians in our workshops near Lille, in the Hauts-de-France region.
