RENAULT Brake Fluid Reservoir Clio 3 RS / X85 Cup / R3

Original RENAULT Brake Fluid Reservoir for Clio 3 RS / X85 Cup / R3: The Risk of a Contaminated or Under-Supplied Circuit

For Renault Clio 3 RS enthusiasts and Clio 3 X85 Cup or Clio R3 drivers, the braking system is the guarantor of safety and performance. The brake fluid reservoir, though discreet, plays a fundamental role in ensuring the reserve and cleanliness of the fluid that feeds your master cylinder. A damaged, cracked, poorly sealed, or questionable quality reservoir can lead to serious consequences: fluid contamination, air ingress into the circuit, or an insufficient level, directly threatening your braking efficiency. Don't let this small part compromise your sports vehicle's reliability and safety.

The Consequences of a Faulty or Non-Compliant Brake Fluid Reservoir:

• Brake Fluid Contamination and System Deterioration: A cracked reservoir or a non-sealing cap can allow moisture and impurities into your brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, and its contamination by water drastically reduces its boiling point, causing "vapor lock" (spongy pedal feel) during heavy braking, and accelerating corrosion of internal master cylinder and caliper components.
• Air Ingress into the Circuit and Loss of Braking: Cracks, a defective seal, or improper reservoir mounting can allow air to enter the braking circuit. Air is compressible, leading to a spongy brake pedal, ineffective braking, and a major risk of total brake loss, particularly in emergency situations or in competition.
• Insufficient Fluid Level and Accelerated Wear: A reservoir that doesn't properly retain fluid or has a defective level sensor can mask a leak or low level. An insufficient level exposes the master cylinder to dry operation, leading to its premature wear and high replacement costs.
• Aesthetic and Technical Non-Compliance: For owners concerned about the authenticity and quality of their Clio 3 RS or their competition vehicle, a non-original or damaged reservoir detracts from the engine bay's appearance and may not meet the technical requirements of racing regulations.

Ensure Your Braking Reliability with the Original RENAULT Brake Fluid Reservoir

This original RENAULT brake fluid reservoir is the exact part installed at the factory on Renault Clio 3 RS and used by RENAULT SPORT on competition vehicles such as the Clio 3 X85 Cup and Clio R3. Its design and materials are specifically chosen to resist the aggressions of brake fluid, temperature variations, and vibrations, guaranteeing perfect sealing and optimal longevity.

What you lose by ignoring this original component:

By not choosing this original reservoir, you lose the ability to:

• Maintain Your Brake Fluid's Integrity: Protect your fluid from any external contamination (moisture, dust) and internal contamination (particles from the reservoir).
• Guarantee a Firm and Consistent Brake Pedal: Avoid spongy feelings and ensure an immediate and predictable response from your braking system.
• Preserve the Longevity of Braking Components: A healthy reservoir contributes to the lifespan of your master cylinder, calipers, and lines.
• Drive with Complete Peace of Mind and Safety: Benefit from absolute confidence in your braking system, whether on open roads or during your most intense competition sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this reservoir compatible with my standard Renault Clio 3 RS?

Yes, this brake fluid reservoir is an original RENAULT part designed for the standard Clio 3 RS. It is also the same reference used by RENAULT SPORT on Clio 3 X85 Cup and Clio R3 competition vehicles, guaranteeing perfect compatibility.

Why is it important to replace the reservoir if mine is just a little yellowed?

A yellowed or opaque reservoir often indicates plastic degradation due to UV exposure and brake fluid chemicals. This degradation can lead to material weakening, micro-cracks invisible to the naked eye, and an increased risk of air ingress or fluid contamination, even without apparent leakage.

What are the signs of a defective brake fluid reservoir?

Signs include excessive yellowing or opacification of the plastic, visible cracks, poor sealing at the cap or junction with the master cylinder (presence of fluid traces), or a fluid level that drops without apparent leakage.
