Genuine Renault Oil Decanter Gasket - Clio 2 RS (Excl. Phase 1) / Clio 3 RS / Megane 2 RS / Megane 3 RS

The engine crankcase ventilation system, often called a breather or PCV, is essential for the health and longevity of your sports engine. The oil decanter is a key component of this system, separating oil vapors from gases before reintroducing them into the intake. The oil decanter gasket, though small, ensures the sealing of this crucial assembly. At Optimiz Access, experts in sport vehicle maintenance and customization, we know that the integrity of every gasket is vital for your Renault Sport's performance. This genuine Renault gasket is the essential part to replace a worn, cracked, or hardened gasket, ensuring the efficiency of your decanter and the cleanliness of your intake.

What do you risk by neglecting your Renault Sport's oil decanter gasket?

A defective or missing oil decanter gasket on your Renault Clio 2 RS (excluding Phase 1), Clio 3 RS, Megane 2 RS, or Megane 3 RS can lead to insidious but serious problems for your engine. Here's what you could lose by not replacing it:

• Oil Leaks and Engine Fouling

  A porous or poorly positioned gasket can no longer ensure the decanter's seal. This results in oil leaks, often visible as seeps or droplets around the decanter and on the engine itself. Not only does this create a neglected appearance under the hood, but it can also mask other problems and lead to an abnormal drop in oil level. Keep your engine clean and leak-free.

• Excessive Oil Consumption and Engine Carbon Buildup

  If the gasket no longer fulfills its role, the oil decanter cannot effectively separate the vapors. More oil is then drawn into the intake, leading to excessive engine oil consumption. This burnt oil can also cause carbon buildup on the valves, intake manifold, and combustion chambers, affecting internal cleanliness and engine performance. Preserve the longevity and efficiency of your engine block.

• Increased Crankcase Pressure and Potential Damage

  A leaky or malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system can disrupt the balance of internal engine pressures. Excessive crankcase pressure can stress other seals (crankshaft, camshafts) and piston rings, potentially leading to larger leaks or long-term mechanical damage. Protect your engine's integrity.

• Loss of Performance and Unstable Idling

  A faulty gasket can create an uncontrolled air leak in the intake circuit. This disrupts the air/fuel mixture managed by the ECU, which can result in a loss of power, an increase in fuel consumption, and an unstable idle. The responsiveness and smoothness of your Renault Sport will be directly affected. Regain optimal performance and smooth driving.

• Non-Compliant Technical Inspection (Pollution)

  An engine with a non-sealed or malfunctioning ventilation system may have higher pollutant emissions. This can lead to a rejection at the technical inspection for exceeding pollution standards, forcing you into unexpected repairs. Ensure your vehicle's environmental compliance.

Why choose this genuine Renault oil decanter gasket?

This oil decanter gasket is a genuine Renault part, specifically designed to guarantee a perfect seal and optimal resistance to temperatures and chemical aggressions from engine oil. It is compatible with a wide range of Renault sports vehicles, including:

• Renault Clio 2 RS (excluding Phase 1)
• Renault Clio 3 RS
• Renault Megane 2 RS
• Renault Megane 3 RS

Manufactured with high-quality materials, this gasket ensures a perfect fit and long-term reliability, effectively preventing leaks and carbon buildup. Choosing a genuine part guarantees that your sports car will maintain its performance and internal cleanliness, just like new.

Compatibility and Installation:

• Is this gasket the only component to check for decanter sealing?

  This gasket is the main component ensuring the seal between the decanter and its support. However, it's always good to check the condition of the decanter itself and associated hoses to ensure no other leaks are present. You'll find the oil decanter and other complementary products related to crankcase ventilation at the bottom of this product page.

• Is replacing this gasket complex?

  Replacing the oil decanter gasket is a relatively simple and accessible operation, not requiring specialized tools. However, it's important to work on a cold engine, thoroughly clean the contact surfaces, and be careful not to pinch the new gasket during reassembly. For less experienced individuals, consulting a tutorial or a professional is recommended. At Optimiz Access, we also offer installation of this part in our workshops.
