CM246
This product's OE number is 8200436137 (some original factory markings read 82 00 436 137), which is the original Renault clutch master cylinder part number for many models. Manufactured according to OE specifications, it directly corresponds to the original factory installation location and interface. If the seals inside the master cylinder age or the piston wears, common symptoms include "a soft pedal, no feedback when fully depressed, stiff gear shifting, or even inability to engage gears." This is one of the most frequently replaced wear parts in manual transmission vehicles.
Specific Applications: According to the original manufacturer's compatibility data, this master cylinder is suitable for the following models:
RENAULT Clio III Hatchback (chassis codes BR0/1, CR0/1), circa 2005–2014 models
RENAULT Clio III Grandtour (Wagon)
RENAULT Clio III Van (chassis codes SB_, SR_)
RENAULT Modus / Grand Modus (chassis codes F, JP), circa 2004–2012 models
Note: Renault models of the same series may have different configurations in different markets (Europe, South America, North Africa, Middle East). It is recommended to provide the vehicle's VIN code or the OE number from the existing master cylinder before purchasing to facilitate verification of compatibility and avoid incorrect shipments.
Core Functions: Converts the force applied to the clutch pedal into hydraulic pressure, which is transmitted to the slave cylinder via oil lines.
This actuates the release bearing, enabling clutch engagement and disengagement.
Internal pistons, return springs, and seals work together to ensure a tight oil circuit, preventing leaks over long-term use.
Some models feature quick-connect couplings or reservoir lines for easy installation of rear air bleeders and reduced maintenance time.
Purchase Motivations: Different purchasing objectives correspond to different needs:
Launch Your Own Brand: Traders or e-commerce sellers can use their own brand and packaging to sell OE-compliant master cylinders, saving on brand licensing/branded parts premiums and establishing their own product line.
Bulk Retail Supply: Suitable for stable supply to auto parts chains, offline stores, and cross-border e-commerce platforms. Direct factory shipping ensures consistent delivery times and prices, facilitating inventory planning for customers.
Cost Optimization: Compared to sourcing from top-tier European brands (such as Valeo and LuK), direct factory sourcing eliminates intermediary markups, especially for high-volume, low-priced components with high replacement rates.
Cost Optimization: The core problem this product solves for overseas customers is the large number of Renault Clio III/Modus series vehicles on the road, resulting in a stable demand for clutch master cylinder replacements. However, branded parts are expensive, and the supply of some niche models is unstable. Factory direct supply ensures OE specification compatibility while providing more stable delivery times and more competitive prices, making it suitable for small and medium-sized auto parts wholesalers, chain repair networks, and online auto parts sellers for long-term inventory.
Regarding the procurement method: This product is supplied under a foreign trade wholesale model, primarily targeting auto parts traders, repair chains, and cross-border e-commerce sellers. It offers bulk pricing and packaging (not individual retail packaging) directly from the factory. If you are an individual car owner requiring a single master cylinder replacement, it is recommended to contact a local authorized dealer or repair shop for purchase and installation, which will provide more suitable retail channels and local after-sales support.
