Genuine RENAULT Phasing Solenoid for Clio 3 RS Ph2 & Megane 3 RS

Performance Lost: What You Risk by Neglecting Your Phasing Solenoid Valve

Your Clio 3 RS or Megane 3 RS was designed to deliver uncompromising feel and performance. The core of this performance lies in the precise management of the valve timing, ensured by crucial components like the Phasing Solenoid Valve. Ignoring a malfunction of this genuine RENAULT part (also called VVT solenoid) is tantamount to accepting the loss of the very essence of your sports vehicle.

What Solenoid Wear Costs You

A defective solenoid valve does more than just trigger a dashboard warning light. It directly impacts your F4R engine's ability to breathe correctly, resulting in tangible losses:

• Loss of Torque and Power: You lose the famous "kick" at high RPM and optimal responsiveness at low RPM. The car becomes linear, an unacceptable drawback for a Renault Sport model.
• Instability and Increased Consumption: The engine oil can no longer properly manage the variable timing. The result is unstable idling, **engine jerks**, and a noticeable increase in your fuel consumption.
• Mechanical Risk: In the long term, a malfunction of the phasing system can put abnormal stress on other top-end engine components and lead to significantly higher **maintenance** costs.

To guarantee the integrity of your F4R RS engine, only replacement with a **genuine manufacturer part** ensures perfect compatibility and the required durability. This solenoid valve is specifically calibrated for the demands of the Clio 3 RS Phase 2 and the Megane 3 RS.

Compatibility and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What are the symptoms of a faulty phasing solenoid valve? Typical signs include a loss of power past 5000 rpm, irregular idling, the appearance of a rattling noise (like a **diesel**), or the engine warning light coming on.
• Is the solenoid compatible with the Clio 3 RS Phase 1? Yes, but the Clio 3 RS Phase 1 (different connector) requires the addition of an electrical adapter connector to be functional. This connector, as well as the essential solenoid seal, are available at the bottom of this product page.
• Where is the solenoid located? It is located on the cylinder head, near the camshaft. **Replacement** can be carried out in our workshop in Cambrai (near Lille, Douai, Valenciennes).

Installation Accessories and Associated Parts

For a complete replacement and perfect sealing, we strongly recommend changing the solenoid seal. Also find the adapter connector for Phase 1 and other engine parts associated at the bottom of this product page.
