Evolution


Diesel versions

Beginning in 1987, the 1.6D undergoes changes to make it more quiet. This F8M second generation will unfortunately be weaker at the cylinder head and head gasket. More asbestos will be dropped, which will exacerbate the problems of cylinder head gaskets. Externally, a second generation F8M detected by its cylinder head cover 6 which is secured by small screws, while a first generation F8M 3 has closed nuts for securing the valve cover, the housing for dispensing a F8M second generation part has a non-painted around the injection pump, while a first generation F8M the casing has completely black distribution. In 1988, Renault launched the Renault 19 in place of R9 and R11, the F8M 1.6 D developing diesel engine of its predecessors is not powerful enough to equip the heavier R19, Renault changes the stroke and bore of the 1.6 D, to obtain (1.9 D) which will give rise to F8Q developing . This engine will also eventually equip the Clio 1, Clio 2 Express (Rapid / Extra), R21, Kangoo, Mégane 1 and Trafic 1. A lower power version producing DIN will appear in the 90s. The second generation F8Q cylinder heads and head-gaskets were problematic. At the end of 1988, a turbocharged version of the 1.9 D is sold on the R19, the engine will F8QT engine types, it will develop DIN. It will also equip Mégane 1, and the Volvo 440, Volvo 460, Volvo S40 and V40, and
Mitsubishi Carisma The Mitsubishi Carisma was a large family car produced for the European market by Mitsubishi Motors from 1995 to 2004.Direct injection version of the engine, the 1.9 dTi, designated F9Q engine type. It will equip the Mégane 1, 1 Scénic, Laguna 1, Clio Kangoo 1 and 2, Mitsubishi Carisma and the Volvo S40 and V40. In July 1999, the 1.9 dTi was upgraded to common rail higher pressure injection, Renault's the first dCi engine, the 1.9 dCi version of the F9Q. It will appear on the Laguna 1 Phase 2. The 1.9 dCi also equip the last two phases 1 Mégane, Scénic 1 Phase 2, Laguna 2, 2 Mégane, Scénic 2, Area 3, Area 4, Trafic 2, Master 2, Volvo S40, Volvo V40, Mitsubishi Carisma, Suzuki Grand Vitara, and Nissan Primera ...


Gasoline versions

In 1986, the Renault 21, 2.0 appears, with a displacement of , F2R type such as a twin-barrel carburetor and F3R type injection version. The F3R of also equip Renault Alliance GTA in North America. In early 1989 Renault premiered the sports version of the Renault 19, replacing the Renault 9 Turbo and Renault 11 Turbo, although it only went on sale in the second half of 1990. Renault abandons its legendary 1.4 Cléon-Fonte turbo carburetor in favor of a multi-valve engine with multipoint injection, an evolution of the engine of the F2N. The stroke remains the same, but the bore is increased by 1 mm, giving a displacement of . The cast-iron block is topped by a 16-valve alloy cylinder head. This, the F7P engine has and was also used in the Clio 16S from February 1991, replacing the Super 5 GT Turbo. In July 1992, the Clio 16S and 16S R19 are fitted as standard with a

At 1 January 1993, all species cars must be equipped with a fuel injection system and a catalytic converter, on this occasion the F2N of see its increased bore and has a cylinder capacity of . It will bring the engine such as "F3P" on the Renault Clio 1 and 19, and "B18U" on the Volvo 440 and Volvo 460. In contrast, the Renault 21, then at retirement retains its , but with the injection (type motor F3N), Volvo will also retain the injection (type motor B18EP), alongside the new . In 1994, the Laguna will be equipped with one engine F3P. Volvo also marketed a petrol version with multipoint injection, sold as the "B16F" in Volvo nomenclature. It was installed in the Volvo 440 and 460 models. Peculiarly, this engine has the same bore and stroke (and resulting displacement) as the diesel F8M engine. Version 8 valves engine F7R will appear on Laguna 1, it will also equip the Mégane 1 Scenic Area 1 and 3, it will be known as "F3R." The Volvo 440, 460 and 480, this engine will be known as "B20F". The new F3R replaced the old F3R engine. The F4P first appeared in 1998, in the Phase 2 model of the first generation Laguna. This new 16 valve also equips the first Mégane Scénic and the second generation Laguna. At the same time, the bigger F4R is installed in the Laguna and Espace (third generation), the engine is the same size as the F7R as in the Clio Williams. It ends up also being installed in the second and third generation Mégane as well as the second Laguna. The specificity of F4P and F4R engines is that they have a 16-valve cylinder head, similar to the K4J and K4M versions of K-Type engine, over the F4P and F4R engines share the same distribution kit and even water pump that K-Type engine 16 valves (K4J and K4M). In 1999, the F5R engine appeared. This is an F7R engine, equipped with direct injection. This 16 valve DI engine is installed in the Mégane coupé and convertible, as well as the Laguna 2. This was the first production French petrol engine with direct injection. In 1999, Renault launched the Clio 2 RS, powered by the F4R 16 valve engine with . The engine, sourced from the Laguna, was tuned by
