How to Remove the Steering Wheel from a Renault Clio III

Model: Renault Clio Clio 3, Clio III, MK 3 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Steering wheel

Let's see how to remove the steering wheel from a Renault Clio III: The first thing to do is disconnect the car battery and wait 10/15 minutes to avoid accidental airbag activation. Remove the side covers of the steering wheel: On the back of the steering wheel, there are two holes (on the right and left); insert a flat screwdriver into the holes and gently push the securing springs. This will slightly lift the airbag; disconnect the electrical connectors of the airbag and the horn. Mark the steering wheel and the steering column with a marker, so you can reassemble it straight. Unscrew the central nut and then remove it. Gently wiggle the steering wheel while pulling towards you, without hitting the steering column: you risk damaging it. For reassembly, clean the threads of the column, align the marks made earlier, then reinsert the steering wheel and tighten the nut to a torque of 40/50 Nm. Reconnect the airbag and battery.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
