Description

Renault Clio 1996-1999 Spare Parts Catalogue – Illustrated Parts Identification

This is the illustrated spare parts catalogue for the Renault Clio built between 1996 and 1999. It is the document a parts counter, workshop or restorer uses to turn a physical component into a usable part number – and to turn a part number back into the correct drawing. Every assembly and loose part sold as a spare is grouped onto plates according to the system or sub-assembly it belongs to, and each plate carries its own five-figure code.

The catalogue is written in four parallel languages throughout – Spanish, French, English and Portuguese – so the same plate, symbol legend and version table can be read by whichever market the vehicle was sold into. That matters here, because the Clio of this era was assembled and sold with very different equipment levels across Argentina, Brazil, Chile and the Especial markets, and this catalogue carries the version codes that separate them.

Chapters and System Groups Covered

The plates are organised by Renault’s system numbering, and the illustrated index plate (01.100 / 01.101) lets you jump straight from a picture of the component to the plate number that details it.

Read as a whole, the catalogue gives you the full factory parts breakdown of a 1996-1999 Clio: it does not teach you how to repair the car, but it tells you exactly which part belongs to which build, which parts are still sold separately, which components are only sold as a complete assembly under a single number, and which parts are interchangeable between early and late production. That is the information a workshop cannot guess at, and it is the information that stops a wrong part being ordered and a job being done twice.

How the Catalogue Is Organised

Each plate combines a drawing of the parts or assemblies in that system with one or more part numbers keyed to that drawing. Numbers are distinguished from each other by a variant letter or by a coded symbol printed next to the number. Where a change happened during production, a reference box below or beside the illustration gives the starting serial number from which the new part applies, or a dimensional value.

Three lookup routes are described in the introduction:

• From the part in your hand: find the plate in the illustrated index, open that plate, and match the drawing to the component. Where several numbers sit on one drawing, choose the one matching the symbols or the vehicle’s build.
• From a part number already written on an order: use the numeric index at the end of the catalogue to find the plate, then verify against the vehicle’s serial range or variant.
• From a known part number to its drawing: look up the number in the numeric index and consult the plate it points to.

A practical detail that is easy to miss: coded expressions such as “use up stock”, “after exhaustion of stock, supply”, right/left-hand drive, with or without air conditioning, with or without injection cut-off, and the option markers for versions without a load box, are all defined in the legend plates around 05.010 to 05.250. These are not decoration – two nearly identical part numbers are often separated only by one of these symbols, and ignoring them is exactly how the wrong part gets onto a customer’s car.

Version Codes and Market Coverage

The OPC version tables (01.210 to 01.213) list the Clio versions by code with their total equipment and country of sale. The tables cover Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Especial markets, with the equipment strings written in the catalogue’s own abbreviations – LVE/PD, CEP, ABS, TC ABS, P7 ASTOS, and combinations of them – alongside body descriptions such as sin caja de carga (without load box) and the G.M. and RENAULT badged variants.

Typical entries include versions 031, 034, 064, 080, 086, 097 LOSANGE, 100 RL through 156 RL, 157 RL AA ABC ARG, 160 RN through 173 RXE, 200 G.M. through 240 RL, 241 RL AA ABC BRASIL through 310 RN CHILE, and 311 RL AA CHILE through 326 RXE AA DA LVE/PD LVE/PT CEP ABC ABP ABS, ending with version 500 ESPEC. The point of the tables is that a Clio sold in Brazil is not built the same as one sold in Chile or Argentina, and the parts listing changes with it.

The serial-number plates (001.300 / 01.310) give the production date and start-of-range numbers used to separate early from late build, running from the earliest entries in June 1996 through to 99/03/30, with ranges such as 00176, 00242, 00248, 00307, 12462, 14184, 14247, 14464, 14978, 15152, 15160, 15544, 16027, 16313, 16530, 16844, 17042, 19249, 21088 and 21561.

Engines, Gearboxes and Drivetrain Groups in This Catalogue

The engine and transmission plates are where most of the buying interest in this document sits:

• F8Q – 676 and F8Q – 696 diesel engines – complete engines listed as 77 01 469 797 and 77 01 470 522, with the (a) and (b) markers used throughout the catalogue to separate the two builds
• Petrol engine groups with cylinder head gasket sets, piston and ring sets, and full engine overhaul component breakdown
• JB1 and JB3 gearboxes – complete units (JB3 002, JB3 006, JB3 013, JB1 021, JB1 026, JB1 033, JB1 157) plus internal gear trains, synchro hubs and differential assemblies
• Clutch assemblies (20.011) with the release mechanism and bearing
• Driveshafts and CV joint kits with boot, grease and clip references
• Diesel injection equipment by Lucas, with the pump and injector pipe assemblies keyed to individual part numbers and shim thicknesses
• Alternators by Valeo, Lucas and Bosch, and starter motors by Valeo and Bosch, each broken down into rotor, stator, brush gear, solenoid and drive components

Because the catalogue carries the exploded view, the part number and the assembly-level number together, it works as both a rebuilding reference and an ordering document. Where a component is only sold as part of a kit under a single number, the catalogue says so; where a shim, seal or clip is listed separately, you get the number for it.

Who This Renault Clio Parts Catalogue Is For

It suits the independent workshop ordering parts for a customer’s 1996-1999 Clio; the restorer rebuilding a car and needing correct gaskets, bearing shells or synchromesh parts; the parts trader verifying a number against a chassis; and the owner who wants to walk into a counter with the right number instead of a description. It is equally useful when a vehicle has been assembled for a South American market and a generic parts catalogue does not list the right version.
