Renault Clio: Solenoid valves: Removal - Refitting

K9K, and JA5

REMOVAL

I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION

Note: Before removing the solenoid valves, always mark their respective connectors in order not to mix them up.

IMPORTANT

Before any operation on the sequential system, discharge the accumulator using the Diagnostic tool.

• To discharge the accumulator, run command " Discharge pressure accumulator " AC081.

  To confirm the pressure drop, read the " Hydraulic pressure " parameter for the resulting value.

  If there is still pressure in the accumulator, re-run the " Discharge pressure accumulator " command until the pressure is negligible and will not pose a risk when the high pressure pipes are removed.

  The pressure reading must be close to zero.

• Position the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle: Towing and lifting) (MR 392, 02A, Lifting equipment).
• Remove the actuator module (see 21B, Sequential gearbox, Actuator module: Removal - Refitting, 21B-34).

II - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART CONCERNED

• Remove:
  • the bracket bolts on the actuator module (1),
  • the actuator module bracket (2).

• Remove the solenoid valve affected, following the correct removal order for the solenoid valves:
  1. Clutch solenoid valve
  2. Selection solenoid valve 4
  3. Selection solenoid valve 3
  4. Engagement solenoid valve 1

Note: Remove engagement solenoid valve 2 (5) independently of the other solenoid valves.

REFITTING

I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION

• Refit the actuator module (see 21B, Sequential gearbox, Actuator module: Removal - Refitting, 21B-34).

II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART CONCERNED

• Refit:
  • the solenoid valve affected,
  • the bolts from the solenoid valve,
  • the actuator module bracket.
• Tighten to torque:
  • the solenoid valve bolts (4 N.m),
  • the bracket bolts on the actuator module (4 N.m).

III - FINAL OPERATION

• Perform the following operations:
  • bleed the clutch circuit (see 21B, Sequential gearbox, Sequential gearbox: Bleeding, 21B- 84)
  • the necessary programming (see Fault finding - Replacement of components (MR 394, 21B, Sequential gearbox).

WARNING

After the accumulator has been fully filled (15 seconds after the ignition has been switched on): the oil is at the MIN mark.
