Renault body codes, engine coding etc,,, - Renault body codes, engine coding etc,,,

Here is the first part of some body type,engine coding & production info.

BODY TYPES up to 2004


B = 5 door two box (Hatch)
C = 3 door two box (Hatch)
D = Coupe
F = Small van (Kangoo/ Extra)
J = Van (Trafic)
K = Estate
L = 4 door 3 box (19 Chamarde / Megane Classic)
M = 2 door 3 box
P = Rear wheel drive Trafic
Q = Rear wheel drive Master
R = FWD Master
S = Utility (Car derived van)
T = FWD Trafic
U = Pick up
V = 4x4 Trafic
W = 3 door estate


 
Below are Fab numbers that...

@Red21 Holy thread resurrection batman!

Question-

Oval plate should be X YY Z or X Y ZZ
where
X = Body Type
Y = Project code
Z = Engine type

The X and Y I get, how does the Z work? Like, L485, L48L, C375, L425
 
Also I was discussing elsewhere about the Clio V6 (this lead to the question above)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
C is the code for 3-door hatch (B is 5-door hatch, or the L in L485 is 4-door saloon, L425 is Renault 9 Turbo, C375 is Renault 11 Turbo etc etc)
61 I think is the V6 project code although I found info of there being a clash..."....oddly reuses code 61 already taken by the Clio II V6 RS. This is to our knowledge the only use of the same code for two programs.", normal Clio II is project code 65 I think. The clash was referred to in text about the Renault 19 of all things. I also saw something that suggested "...the RS V6 sometimes appears as "C6" in codes." but it wasn't explained any further.
A (or 1A if the V6 was referred to as C6 as suggested above?) - well...anyones guess. Never found a resource yet that explains how this final digit ties up to the engine type. I assume the "5" in L485, L425 and C375 points toward a 4-cylinder but with no specification to EFI/Carb, SOHC, DOHC or OHV etc. The 21 Phase 1 & 2 Turbo were all L485 though but the Phase 3 distributorless/Catalyst model flipped to L48L.

If I promise not to send you any chocolate treats can you get the same info for the V6's as you have for the 21, above? Pretty please :)
 
If I remember correctly the V6 Clio was unique in its coding due to the various companies involved especially the phase 1.
The Ph2 did settle down with the codes but it will take some serious digging as I put all documents in storage now, I will still have a look though.
