Ive know a friend who had a 172 timing issue sorted by them and was spot on with good cost aswell. Ive used them to do the timing belt on my mercedes as it has the renault diesel and the price they quoted and service was fantastic. Would highly recommend

Thats exactly how i done mine, setting them up as you do in other renault lumps or ford zetec with a similar tool i ended up with the cams the same as your picture or if not the tool really really tight to go in.

Hi, when i done the belts on my 172 it took me about 20 attempts to get these lined up. They are so precise it untrue. When i put the tool in the cams i tried to hold them in the undo position so that when the cam gear was tightened it didnt move it to far. This gave the clearance to get the...

Another fault that are common on them is the crankshaft speed sensor-sits at the rear of the block just inside top of the gearbox housing. This can also play up giving starting or running rough. I may not always show an error as it may give the wrong speed reading to the ecu but still be within...
