Renault Clio 11, 1.2L (Diet?) MTV W reg (2000) Could anyone tell me which end number one spark plug is, Cambelt or Battery side? The reason I ask is because I had an arduous task of replacing a water pump. In doing so I had to dissasemble the power steering, engine mount,altinator oh and yes the timing belt, but to our amazement we ended up with no spare parts at he end of the build :) (oh... and no leaks) I wont say I'm much of a mechanic or even one at that, I'm one of those ppl that will get there hands dirty to save money. Anyway..putting it all back together with bleeding knuckles and a swear box full of 10 pences. I turned the engine over it ran lumpy :S so to my way of thinking I could only quess that the plug next to the cambelt isnt number 1 !!!! Before I could get the same answer from RenaultLine.. I got a barking 1342! then they hung up 0.o so now I turn to you guys..................

Thanks guys, but reading someone elses post ppl are saying the french like to do things backwards :s so 1342 should be 2431? no 1 being battery side. Well I'll keep you all posted, for I am about to take another look today.

WOOOHOOO :) I was correct in thinking that number 1 plug is battery side. Put it all together and it started straight away...not woithout hiccups I must admit :S I heard a dry noise and worked it out that the Power Steering unit was empty..new oil soon rectified the problem..^^ cheers guys :) oh btw im from England :) word of warning! " Dont DL the clio manual"! the only one I found was either Russian or French hahahahaha unless you can translate go ahead but for me pffft!
