Belts weren't changed recently, timing was out so when I was fixing that it wasn't quite as intrusive as the full job. I was also stupid careful but will bear in mind what you said and check. This is the non-speedo-drive version too......so abs is used Its just the way it cut out was...

Hmmm.....speed sensor? Would that be a tdc sensor for engine speed? Is that a likely culprit? J

Hi gang, This kinda progressed a little today. Driving the kids to school, cruising at around 40 and started to accelerate gently, not ragging it or anything like that and the car completely cut out. No misfire, no hesitation.......just dead.......managed to coast into a driveway which was a...

Hi mods, sorry. I think this should have been in the faults section. I have created a duplicate there, can you delete this for me? Apologies

Hey gang, Hopefully a quick one. Car has been going absolutely banger since I sorted the timing. Thanks for all the advice around that. This week I noticed a niggly thing, not an issue per-se but I would like to nail it before it potentially gets worse. At motorway speeds in 5th gear and...

Hey bud, no bother at all....fully understand. Happy enough now, still the odd wee hesitation and misfire etc so I know there is more to do but at least I know that the big job is done. Cheers for letting me piggy back your thread buddy ;) J

Not a stupid question IMO when it comes to something as s**t scary as the belts on these.

The guys on here are better than any workshop manual when it comes to help. ;)

Fk sake man..........I never want to do that again lol but I do agree, after a few times I knew the steps and was getting better. If I had room on my cards.....I would probably do just that fella. Have to be a bit measured these days J

LOL! It literally took me the whole weekend bud......I had it timed up (or so i thought) about 8 times, no joke.........even had it back together and running and split it all apart again. Hell of a job to be honest. But......at least I have had a punt at "THE JOB I NEVER WANTED TO DO" and seem...

And if this means my timing is good, I still have a MAP value of ~500. I appreciate that the manual states up to 500 @fleabay but I have seen an awful lot of members sitting at 360 etc. Is this perhaps wear and tear of the MAP sensor, injectors etc? J

After timing and 2 rotations of the crank with all the tools removed, I re-locked at tdc Will this do? :)

Hmm. It actually looks spot on. Only a minor jiggle to do this

Right. That was awful. Anyway.......got it timed and checked many times. Struggled to get the elusive horse shoe slipping in....seem to be some rough edges on the cams where the tool goes. Looked like it should go in but it rarely did......even when everything was locked up. Anyway.......it...

Lol.....one unit of FT Rodger that! ;)

Lol. No bud.....some member did a word document and mentioned "horsing" the pulley locking bolts up really tight.....just trying to work out if there is an official figure J

Stumped last night as my 14mm hex was missing ffs. New one bought and ready to go today. Managed to get the butchered aux tensioner bolt replaced though so at least I got that done. Getting the feeling that the exhaust cam is out a fraction too. Will see once I get the inlet freed up. In...

No bud.....I had made a line in the dirt by mistake trying to clean the MAIN line with a screwdriver. DOH! So.....deffo at tdc then. Horse shoe - no chance. Stripping time. Going to just try for the inlet?

Sorry @bloke........I should have given it a wee clean first. I havent moved it btw.

TDC is the line with the "0" at it is it not?

So yeah...................ummm................... Locked with the proper Renault pin......slowly from juuuuuust before tdc until the green/line was in line with the line on the bell housing. And went to slip the horse shoe effortlessly in and So...... blx

Pinging @Davyboy888 @bloke @fleabay and @Turbo steve Hoping to get guidance before apocalypse weekend here :| Admins, would I be better spinning this into a separate thread? I thought seeing as it seems super identical to Davy's it might be prudent to keep my waffle in here J

Ok.....I see from the top end manual that the extra cog looks to clear the lip of the exhaust pulley. ok on that. Question. 1.) The manual references tool MOT1509. I have seemingly bought tool MOT1801. Have a been a stupid boy? J

More questions........... 1.) Given that I suspect that the horse shoe is not going to go in once the crank is locked at tdc. Will the pulley locking tool be sufficient to hold everything while i loosen the intake pulley? 2.) Do i need to make any consideration for the position of the innards...

Hype. Now......first thick question. I ordered it. I don't know why. But can someone tell me what the extra cog (0000150901) is for? Bear in mind, I wont be taking the belt of or messing with the tension.

Seems that way friend. The country boys were a different thing completely, couldn't be more helpful.

Ok. finally found a dealer out in the countryside here that would sell me the tools. Not arriving till Thursday so a bit of time lost, but never mind. Prepare yourselves for some serious frenzy posting around that time ;)

Hey bud, I would love to have just given him the "lazy" judgement.........but I had the below printed out and in my hand for him MOT1054 – Setting rod MOT1496 – Tool for setting camshaft MOT1801 – Camshaft sprocket locking tool 0000150901 – Extra Longer Cog + Spacers + Nut He even checked with...

Most certainly would fella if there were some genuine ones there but there are only aftermarket ones unfortunately. Aiming at RPD but getting banged for NI delivery..........which sucks a bit.

They just said that they couldn't sell them to the general public. I told him that I could buy them online from other Renault based sources but that I was hoping to keep it local and quick.............but no.......he said that they are for the workshop only. J
