Genuine Renault Piston Pin Circlip - Clio & Megane RS

At the heart of your engine, the link between the piston and the connecting rod is secured by a pin, held in place by two small rings called circlips. While modest in size, this part is an absolute lifesaver for your engine. During removal, it deforms and loses its ability to stay perfectly in place, making it dangerous to reuse. At Optimiz Access, experts in genuine engine parts for sport vehicles since 2010, we know that the smallest part can have the biggest impact on reliability. We offer this genuine new Renault piston pin circlip, essential for any engine repair on your Clio RS or Megane RS.

What you lose by reusing a used circlip

The temptation to reuse such a small part is great, but the consequences of a failing circlip are simply catastrophic. Here's what you risk losing by not replacing this ring with a new one:

• The Safety and Integrity of Your Engine

  A reused or poor-quality circlip can become detached under the engine's vibrations and stresses. The piston pin is then no longer held in place and can slide out of its housing, severely damaging the cylinder wall. The result is a major engine failure, irreparable block damage, and an astronomical repair bill. Don't risk your investment for a paltry saving.

• Performance and Peace of Mind

  A poorly positioned or failing circlip can create rattling noises that are early warning signs of imminent failure. By using a new genuine part, you ensure the assembly is secure and your engine runs with complete reliability. On the road or on the track, you'll have peace of mind, without fearing a sudden engine breakdown.

• Your Time and Money

  A Renault Sport engine is an investment. An engine failure due to a circlip fault would mean a long and costly immobilization. The savings made on this small part will be insignificant compared to the repair costs of a damaged engine. Choosing genuine quality is an investment in the longevity of your Clio RS or Megane RS.
