As far as I know, these are not serviceable. When ordering a new one first check the price at your Renault dealer - also check whether you need the metal cover, spring etc etc - there are quite a few pieces involved.

I know, all the manuals say that one shall not open these valves and that they are not serviceable.
I personnaly think that is BS.
Not knowing that these are not "repairable" I just did it a few week s ago.
It's a simple valve that comes apart pretty easy. Mine was clogged with some black, greasy stuff.
Clean it up thoroughly, blow through all the bores with pressurized air, use a fresh seal/washer when you reassemble it and you are good to go.
David.
P.S.
Here's mine...

If you think you need a new one you've got nothing to lose by taking the old one to bits to see how it works. It may be as David says, only needing a clean, your local bearing supplier can find most sizes of seals / O rings.

That's the early type, Billy. I wouldn't buy it anyway on principle due to his request for almost a tenner for postage!!
