as above, seized aux tensioners seem to be the killer of the belts. I've no idea how old the belt is on my van, ill do it next time the engines out, but now that its an older motor and doesn't do many miles, id happily leave and inspect up to 10yrs

it will fit yes, same engine and box as a 1.6 clio

aux belt slipping?

id guess £1500 for a flawless finish on my exclusive was a bargain paint job after reading this!

Welcome to the forum shigeo-san! I absolutely love how polite Japanese people are. Let's see some pictures of that twingo Gordini!

there was loads of us back in the day looking into solutions but no one ever found anything as far as I'm aware, at one point there was hope that a Mondeo tdci HPFP could be fitted, but I don't think anything ever came from it. This was all MK2 bits though, im not sure many people really pushed...

I've had almost all.of my aux pulleys start to fail the last few years, that does sound a similar noise but generally the pulley starts to wobble where that one looks ok. The fact it's due a belt anyway means I'd just replace it all anyway! Aux belt and tensioner long overdue they are 3yrs 36k...

There's a nice dci 106 gordini on eBay the now that would be a nice replacement

If a garage is worried about pressing that out, id be looking for a new garage!

they bolt in, not press

Just grease up the bushes, I had to do it on my wife's as it sounded terrible!

Got to have been on here at some point, it's got our wheels and our rear badge 😂

There is some hilarious CCTV footage of that!

Ahhh good old MK3 ownership! - it had been using a bit of oil which was unusual for an F4R in my experience as none of mine have ever used any, not an issue as I do about 1000 miles a year in it, except with my new job I've been banging it back and forward to Glasgow and hadn't given it too much...

Just an update to this, as I had the car stripped yesterday, it's been fitted for just over 12 months, 1000 miles... I'd go for the cheap ones as this is starting to corrode already.

I would have thought so yes!

As above, get a 172 loom and ECU kit, then you can have the non RS k4m map uploaded

they are of similar age so probably quite closely related. the 1.2 16v and 1.6 16v clios use the same front brakes, only the 1.2 8v had smaller brakes. if you are going to the hassle i would want to swap over to widetrack and 2.0 16v brakes/suspension.

sounds like it could be a noisy clutch release bearing, ive had one on my daily driver for about 10k miles, don't notice it until someone points it out now lol

whirring noise go away once the clutch is fully released? tone of the noise change as you press the pedal harder or release it lighter? sounds like the release bearing if so.

im sure opie oils do worldwide shipping, no idea on cost though! they are about the cheapest about in the UK for oils and the service is fantastic, Elf stockist too! https://www.opieoils.co.uk/

K4M 700, 1.6 16v 110hp

As above, hard shunt in that and you wont be walking again!

Not got an old PC lying about you can throw some drives in and use as a network server? No companies, no subscriptions, no hassle! I done this in 2001 and obviously it's been upgraded since but now with 4x 8TB drives in raid for a total of 16TB storage, backed up. Still has all my original...

I think I've bought at least 4 of them that the ad has said "apparently cammed but lost the invoice, definitely feels it" The reality is most people don't bother to change the camBELT never mind the cams 😂

i wouldn't worry about swapping to the JC5 for strength, the JB3 is a fairly decent box anyway! Are you sure your K4J has a JB1? aren't they all front starter motor?

As above, How low was the oil?

one angle with the V6 is flawed, its like Carol Vorderman, if your just looking at the face its not all that, you need to take in the full package :ROFLMAO:

it would struggle to idle if the cam timing was out but obviously there is other things that could cause it not to idle too, I'm just going along the lines of, if you have double checked all your steps and confirmed everything is connected etc then the cambelt is the only thing that's been...
