Introduction
This tutorial shows how to change the ignition coil on Clio 2 1.2 16v (D4F engine).
On 1.2 16v engine (D4F), the coil is called twin-static and the harnesses are integrated. We change the whole assembly.
We work with the ignition off of course. We can disconnect the battery if we want but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.
Tools
Parts
-
-
Disconnect your battery
-
remove the engine cover (it is simply clipped)
-
the coil and harnesses are now accessible
-
-
-
pull on the beam head
-
to disconnect it
-
proceed in the same way for the other 3 cylinders
-
-
-
push the plug tab outwards
-
lift the plug to disconnect
-
put the socket on hold on the side
-
-
-
unscrew the 3 screws holding the coil using a T30 torx key
-
remove the coil
-
-
-
compare the general appearance of the two coils (the defective coil and the replacement coil)
-
compare the reference of the old coil
-
with that of the news
-
Only the references really tell us about compatibility.
-
-
-
present the coil on the engine
-
and screw in its 3 fixing screws, T30 torx key
-
-
-
It will be absolutely necessary to connect the harnesses in the correct order.
-
the cylinders follow one another on the engine
-
Cylinder 1 is the one on the gearbox side.
-
but not on the reel (3 and 4 are reversed)
-
I didn't notice the order because the lengths of the beams correspond perfectly to the cylinders: the longest beam goes to the cylinder furthest from the coil and so on
-
-
-
connect the harnesses correctly (you can apply a little dielectric grease if you wish)
-
clip the harnesses into the notches on the intake manifold: there is no hard and fast rule, we just try to make it look neat
-
connect the coil plug (you should hear a "click")
-
clip the harnesses, there are slots next to the oil filler cap
-
start and check that everything works
-
-
-
make sure everything is plugged in and clipped in correctly
-
install the engine cover
