Yes - different manifolds, think the coloured spot on the dip stick is different as well, Engine no. (front right on engine block) should read F7R
i may not notice the extra power between the 2.0 and the 1.8 as mines chipped,de-cated etc
Think you will notice - much more bottom end grunt in the 2L
also wots the soft pedal converstion as this is my second clutch cable thanks
Use genuine Renault clutch cable - lasts longer.

Bullshit about the Renault cables lasting longer, i've had a GSF one in my hybrid for the last year and a half and its still going, best one in my experience (RSi used to eat them for breakfast) is a Halfords one.
Also bullshit about the pattern part ones not fitting properly
in my experience, even correctly routed the pattern ones i've had have always snapped short of expected life, so bullshit to you too sir, its all about personal experience! :wink:
Yeah guess it is, i must be special, but how do they last6 compared to Renault ones
every non-gen cable ive tried wouldnt fit!
every non genuine cable I've had (which is 2) has killed itself and my pedal assembly (which is 2) :lol:
ok thanks chaps,test drove this 2.ol w.end and **** me its quicker than my 1.8,so i laid a deposit!first gear seems alot shorter than my 1.8 aswell as the 1.8 first gear goes forever.
as for my clutch cable it lasted 6months and was a gen renault now on the second gen one so see wot happens????
