Are F8Q Versions 630 and 730 compatible.

[Mark1948]

I have a Kangoo with an F8Q-630 engine that has died (cracked head) and the closest I can find is a Clio with an F8Q-730 engine. If I change the fuel pump which is coded to the ECU will it then just drop in or are there any other issues.

Cheers for reading

mmm what can i add
not sure on exact codes involved but engines are very similar and SWIFT bought a kangoo a while ago and put1.9 extra diesel van into it think he used engine and box as sump is ally on kangoo engine??( steel on clio) and box bell housing is diif erent on bottom edge on gbox face
can use clio non immobilised pump , just feed 12v on ignition supply to stop valve
if you change pump you will then find cambelt lengths different as pum[p mounts lower to clear clio bonnet line also bosch injectors wont run on cav lucas injectors or vice versa etc

pm me or ring 07973423795 to discuss if you want to

also to add i have got a dead w reg kangoo d65 at my workshop (makes a nice shed)
it is alleged to have good engine but wont run as no ignition key or transponder chip for me to test it out (stick to R4 s no problems there)
probably too far away for either of you

Hi Paul
Thanks for the info, i was aware that i would prob have to change the pump but to have to change the injectors, sump and possibly gearbox it seems like a bit of a task!

i was told that as long as the engine was a F8Q there shouldnt be a problem, DAM i will have to look out for the correct engine from some were.

Thanks Paul

if you can get clio engine cheap enough and you know it is good i would just go for it as wrong sump will only leave a gap at bottom exposing fly wheel slightly ( dont try and change sump as oil pump is driven differently (chain on later engines )
leave clio pump and injectors on
run 12 v feed to pump
swap water outlet pipes over (all swaps ok )
exhaust will match up
have put loads of "wrong engines" in renaults over the years so as long as you have the capabilities and lateral thinking most differences can be overcome

mind you the 1647cc renault 16tx was a little bit of a challenge to fit into my R4 !!
call me (or text me a landline number and i get free calls to you)

OK I think I may have stuck gold.

I have been offered a Kangoo block from a 1999 van but the guy doesn't know what version it is. How do I tell the difference between the 630, 632 and 662 by just examining them?

Any tips would be great. Thanks all.
