Are you guys using a software update after you fit the new Dephaser pulley? I have done many dephasers on petrol renaults and any competent mechanic would find it simple so going to Renault is madness in my eyes!

Hello All,
I have just purchased what I believe to be a Phase one 172 Its 2001 In silver, the car has got many issues!
I hope to gain some knowledge on the vehicle from the forum and take on some advice.
I aim to repair the vehicle as it seems like a hell of a lot of fun.
All the best
