Renault Clio III & Modus Clutch Master Cylinder Replacement – CM243

One Clutch Master Cylinder, Five Aftermarket Brand Numbers
The OE reference list for this clutch master cylinder includes 8200494397 and 8200524724 from Renault, alongside 2105315, KG150086.7.1, 6284 600 663, 6284 600 702 and 511 0285 10. These are not five different versions of the same number — they are catalog codes from five separate component brands that each supply this clutch master cylinder to the European aftermarket: FTE (2105315 and KG150086.7.1), SACHS (6284 600 663 and 6284 600 702) and LuK (511 0285 10), alongside the Renault factory OE numbers. A distributor checking a parts database against any one of these brand codes will find they all point to the identical clutch master cylinder specification used on the Clio III and Modus platform.
This matters for sourcing because most workshops outside France do not search by Renault part number — they search by whichever brand code their regional supplier catalog uses. A German distributor's system might reference the SACHS code, a UK catalog might list the FTE number, and a Renault dealer parts list will show the OE number. The CM243 clutch master cylinder is built to match all of them simultaneously, so the part fits regardless of which catalog led the buyer to it.

Compatibility Across the Clio III and Modus Range
The CM243 clutch master cylinder covers the Renault Clio III hatchback (BR0/1, CR0/1), the Clio III Grandtour estate (KR0/1), the Clio III Hatchback Van commercial variant (SB_, SR_) and the Renault Modus and Grand Modus (F/JP0_). These four body styles share the same firewall-mounted clutch hydraulics because they were built on the same B-platform underpinnings during the same generation, which is why one clutch master cylinder specification serves passenger, estate, van and compact MPV variants without separate part numbers for each body style.

Why This Part Sees Steady Replacement Demand
The Clio III generation has a known reliability point at the clutch master cylinder: the internal plastic ball-joint connector linking the pedal to the cylinder is prone to wear and cracking, which causes the pedal to feel loose, click, or lose resistance entirely. This is a widely reported issue among Clio III and Modus owners and independent workshops, and it typically results in full clutch master cylinder replacement rather than a minor repair, since the connector is not sold as a standalone part by Renault. For distributors, this translates into dependable repeat demand from workshops working on this vehicle generation, rather than a one-time replacement need.

Sourcing for European Distributors
Renault Clio III and Modus models remain common across European used-vehicle fleets, and independent workshops continue to handle clutch repairs on this generation at volume. A distributor stocking the CM243 clutch master cylinder under a single SKU can fulfil orders matched against five different catalog systems, which removes the guesswork of maintaining separate inventory entries for FTE, SACHS, LuK and Renault OE customers who are all, in practice, asking for the same part.
OEM/ODM private label packaging is available for distributors building a branded Renault clutch parts catalog.

Confirming Fitment Before Ordering
Because the Clio III range spans several engine and trim variants between BR0/1, CR0/1, KR0/1 and SB_/SR_ chassis codes, distributors should confirm the chassis code on the customer's vehicle registration document against the application list rather than relying on the model year alone, since trim level and market changed some equipment fitment within the same production years.

Q1: Why does this clutch master cylinder have five different reference numbers from five different brands?
Renault sources this clutch master cylinder from multiple component manufacturers for the European aftermarket — FTE, SACHS and LuK each catalog the same physical part under their own brand numbering system, alongside the original Renault factory OE number. All five numbers describe the same specification.

Q2: My catalog shows a SACHS or FTE number, not a Renault number — is this still the right part?
Yes. Cross-reference 6284 600 663 or 6284 600 702 (SACHS), 2105315 or KG150086.7.1 (FTE), or 511 0285 10 (LuK) against the CM243 — all of them confirm the identical clutch master cylinder specification.

Q3: Why do Clio III and Modus owners report clutch pedal clicking or looseness?
This generation has a known wear point at the plastic ball-joint connector inside the clutch master cylinder housing. Once it cracks, the pedal loses proper connection to the cylinder, and replacement of the full unit is the standard fix since Renault does not sell the connector separately.

Q4: Does this part fit the Clio III Van as well as the hatchback?
Yes — the application list covers both the Clio III Hatchback Van (SB_, SR_) and the standard hatchback (BR0/1, CR0/1), since they share the same clutch hydraulic mounting.

Q5: Can this be supplied under our own brand packaging?
Yes. Custom boxes, labels and logo printing are available for OEM/ODM bulk orders.
