Check your tyres too if theyre old. If one has deteriorated this can give symptoms of a wheel bearing failing.

Has this only started happening since the belt change?

Thanks chaps.

Hi Dan Thanks for replying. So pretty much the same procedure as if I was starting from scratch then?

Probably one for the specialists that contribute to this forum but any input is appreciated. A friend has recently bought a 182 and after driving it it seemed a little lacking in performance compared to mine. The belts and tensioners were done just before he bought it. The garage seem to have...

Thanks for replies - it is more of a low rumble than a whine, I have just done belts and tensioners, maybe should have done pump at same time.

Hi Everyone When I start my car from cold, for the first 20 seconds or so the power steering pump is quite noisy then it quietens down. Fluid is at correct level. Is this an indication of potential failure? Thanks.

Brilliant! many thanks

Hi Cookson, No, I will be doing it myself Cheers

Thanks Laine, I will be doing the belts next weekend anyway, just wondered if there was anything else I should be aware of that could give problems - or other things worth checking. cheers

Thanks for replies. Beasley - do they do a gasket ? I thought the cam cover was sealed with a loctite gasket sealant only? Jonff - I did wonder that john, if someone had topped the oil up and spilt it as there is quite a bit there. I have only just bought the car so havent needed to top the...

Hi everyone, I took the top cover off my engine today (Clio 182 42,000 mls) and it was quite oily underneath and there were puddles of oil sitting on the lower part of the inlet manifold (see pic) the cam cover also had oil on it too. Is there a known 'weak spot' that could cause this? I am...

Thank you Fred, I will replace them.

Hi All I will be doing the cam belt and de-phaser on my 182 soon and have been looking through the Renault workshop manuals. The manuals say to replace the exhaust cam pulley retaining bolt and the de-phaser retaining bolt - is this neccessary? If not does any one have the torque setting for...

Thanks for all replies

Thanks Mitch, I guess I will have to get them from Renault, any idea how much they cost? Cheers

Thank you Laine, Is the horseshoe tool on its own enough to do the job then?

Hi All apologies if this has been asked before. I wish to change the belts on my 182 and obviously a special tool(s) is/are required. i have seen pattern tools on ebay and the like but they look different to images I have seen of the genuine Renault tool. Are these pattern tools any good or am...
