Genuine Renault 75°C Thermostat - Clio 3 RS & Clio 2 RS
En Stock
Control your engine's temperature with this genuine Renault thermostat with an opening temperature of 75°C. Specifically designed for the Clio 3 RS, it also mounts without modification on the Clio 2 RS, allowing the cooling circuit to open more quickly. This part is essential for limiting temperature spikes and preventing the risk of engine overheating during intensive use, such as on a track day or on a mountain road.
A sport engine's cooling system is a delicate balance. When the engine's temperature rises, the thermostat plays a crucial role by opening to allow coolant to circulate to the radiator, keeping it at an optimal operating temperature. On the F4R engines of the Clio 3 RS or Clio 2 RS, an excessively high temperature, especially during spirited driving, can lead to a loss of power and, eventually, irreversible damage. Using a thermostat with a higher opening temperature or a faulty one means taking the risk of engine overheating, which can damage the head gasket, hoses, and even the cylinder head itself. At Optimiz Access, experts in preparation and maintenance for sport vehicles since 2010, we know that temperature control is the key to reliability. That's why we offer this genuine 75°C thermostat, an excellent choice for all track enthusiasts.
What you lose without a thermostat suited to your use
Opting for the wrong thermostat or not replacing it is a mistake with serious consequences. Here's what you risk losing without a high-performance thermostat:
-
The Performance and Power of your Engine
An engine that overheats loses its efficiency. Excessive heat can affect the density of the intake air and cause ignition timing to be retarded to prevent knocking, thus reducing power and torque. By replacing your old thermostat with this 75°C model, you maintain lower, optimal operating temperatures, preserving your engine's full potential.
-
The Durability of your Mechanics
Overheating is the sworn enemy of mechanics. An excessively high water temperature increases stress on all parts of the cooling circuit, from the hoses to the radiator. The risk of leaks, cylinder head warping, or even engine failure becomes very real. This low-temperature thermostat is an insurance policy against these risks, allowing for faster and more efficient cooling.
-
Your Time and Money
A breakdown related to overheating can be very costly to repair, often requiring the replacement of several components or even a complete top-end engine rebuild. A thermostat is an affordable part whose preventative or quick replacement is a smart investment in the longevity of your Clio RS.
Why choose this genuine 75°C Renault thermostat?
This thermostat is the best solution for Clio RS drivers. By installing it, you ensure:
- Simple compatibility and installation: It is designed to fit perfectly and without modification on the F4R engines of the Clio 3 RS and Clio 2 RS.
- Impeccable manufacturing quality: As a genuine Renault part, it is manufactured according to the highest standards, guaranteeing precise opening and great long-term reliability.

What is the purpose of a low-temperature thermostat?
On a stock engine, the thermostat opens at a higher temperature for consumption and emissions reasons. On a sport vehicle, the goal is to keep the engine temperature as low as possible to preserve performance and reliability. This 75°C thermostat is perfectly suited for this use, opening the circuit sooner for better heat dissipation.
