The Renault 1.6 16V K4M Engine (Side Throttle) is one of Renault’s most popular and dependable petrol engines. This 1.6L inline 4-cylinder engine is widely used across multiple Renault models, offering a strong balance of performance, reliability, and low maintenance costs.
This specific version features a side-mounted throttle body, making it essential for compatibility with certain intake setups and vehicle configurations. If your original engine has a throttle positioned on the side, this is the correct replacement to ensure proper fitment and performance.
The engine is built with a DOHC 16-valve system and multi-point fuel injection (MPFI), delivering smooth acceleration and efficient fuel consumption. It produces approximately 105–115 horsepower and 145–150 Nm of torque, making it ideal for both city driving and longer journeys.
Constructed with a durable cast iron block and aluminum cylinder head, the K4M is known for its longevity and ability to handle high mileage. It uses a timing belt system, which requires periodic replacement but keeps maintenance straightforward and affordable.
Supplied as a complete engine (long block or full assembly), it typically includes:
- Engine block
- Cylinder head
- Pistons and crankshaft
- Camshaft system
- Intake system with side throttle configuration
⚠️ External components such as alternator, starter motor, AC compressor, and sensors may need to be transferred from your existing engine.
This engine is ideal for:
- Replacing damaged or worn engines
- Daily driving reliability
- Cost-effective repairs and maintenance
