Renault Clio: Brake compensator: Check
WITHOUT ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

CHECK
- Position the vehicle on a four-post lift equipped with
an intermediate lifting system (see Vehicle: Towing
and lifting) (MR 392, 02A, Lifting).
I - CHECKING THE DIMENSION OF THE BRAKING
COMPENSATOR ROD IN THE REBOUND POSITION
(WHEELS SUSPENDED)
- Raise the vehicle using the intermediate lift.

II - ADJUSTING THE ROD DIMENSION IN THE
REBOUND POSITION (WHEELS SUSPENDED)
- Loosen the adjusting screw (1).
- Adjust to the dimension of 155 mm.
- Torque tighten the adjusting screw (12 Nm).
III - CHECKING THE OUTPUT PRESSURE
- Lower the intermediate lift so that the dimension of
the (X2) compensator rod is equal to 142 mm.
WARNING
Prepare for the flow of fluid, and protect the surrounding
components.
1 - Checking the output pressure for an input
pressure (PE) = 60 bar

- Fit the pressure gauges of the (Fre. 1085-01) in acccordance
with the diagram I.
- Bleed the pressure gauges using the brake circuit
bleeding device by opening the pressure gauge
bleed screws.
- Depress the brake pedal until the value PE = 60 bar
is obtained on the front pressure gauge.
- Read the value on the rear pressure gauge PS1.
- Position the pressure gauges in accordance with diagram
II.
- Bleed the pressure gauges using the brake circuit
bleeding device by opening the pressure gauge
bleed screws.
- Depress the brake pedal until the value PE = 60 bar
is obtained on the front pressure gauge.
- Read the value on the rear pressure gauge PS2
- Check the differences in pressure at the rear brake
output, PS1 - PS2 ≤ 4 bar.
- Check the value of Pm :
Pm = (PS1 + PS2) / 2
Pm = 28 +- 4 bar
2 - Checking the output pressure for an input
pressure (PE) = 100 bar
- Depress the brake pedal until the value PE = 100
bar is obtained on the front pressure gauge.
- Read the value on the rear pressure gauge PS2.
- Position the pressure gauges in accordance with diagram
I.
- Bleed the pressure gauges using the brake circuit
bleeding device by opening the pressure gauge
bleed screws.
- Depress the brake pedal until the value PE = 100
bar is obtained on the front pressure gauge.
- Read the value on the rear pressure gauge PS1'.
- Check the differences in pressure at the rear brake
output, PS1' - PS2' ≤ 4 bar.
- Check the value of Pm' :
Pm = (PS1' + PS2') / 2
Pm = 28 +- 4 bar
3 - Checking the output pressure values
- PS1 for PE = 60 bar
PS1' for PE = 100 bar
PS1 - PS1' = 6 +- 1 bar
- PS2 for PE = 60 bar
PS2' for PE = 100 bar
PS2 - PS2' = 6 +- 1 bar
4 - Checking the output pressures by compressing
the spring by 5 mm
- Compress the brake limiter spring by 5 mm (X3).
- Depress the brake pedal until the value PE = 100
bar is obtained on the front pressure gauge.
- Read the value on the rear pressure gauge PS1''.
- Position the pressure gauges in accordance with diagram
II.
- Bleed the pressure gauges using the brake circuit
bleeding device by opening the pressure gauge
bleed screws.
- Depress the brake pedal until the value PE = 100
bar is obtained on the front pressure gauge.
- Read the value on the rear pressure gauge PS2''.
- Check the differences in pressure at the rear brake
output, PS1'' - PS2'' ≤ 4 bar.
- Check the value of Pm :
Pm = (PS1'' + PS2'') / 2
Pm = 28 +- 4 bar
5 - Checking value D'
- D' = 20.6 +- 2 bar
D'1 = PS1'' - PS1
D'2 = PS2'' - PS2
Brake compensator: Adjustment
WITHOUT ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

ADJUSTMENT

- Loosen the bolt (1)
- Adjust the rod dimension to the rebound position value
(wheels suspended) of 155 mm.
- Torque tighten the adjusting screw (12 Nm).

Note: When adjusting the brake limiter, do not move the rod nut (3).
