^^ cheers Ben

Hi New Zealand ! You had better get your Cam-belt done ASAP , it needs doing every 70k miles OR every 4-5 years !! They have a reputation os snapping prematurely. If this would happen you're looking at a new engine !!! (well , overhaul at least !)

I have the exact same worry/question.. Had my cambelt done 2 months ago (for some reason they did not do the full aux kit like yours) , + now the car still "whines" on cold start, plus a small squeel of aux belt slipping. So around 200 notes to do the full kit ? I think i'll get it...

"just get the flex joint" is an option but pretty much work , problem cured though. I would def get new mounts when i notice a lot of play in the gearstick etc. By experience i can feel when my mounts are dead ; play in the stick; this goes with a loose feeling in throttle response , feeling...

^^ yep (on the ET)

best thing to do about this is . . . . . . . sell it . You're losing power

:mad: can't believe this was'nt done when the engine was out already for the job..

Danny is right on the new gasket. Try that first. A new set from Renault costs over 30 pounds i believe but it's neccescary when leaking And on my RS i have changed the mounts TWICE already in 70k. I like the way the car drives like new after , stops a lot of play of the engine. When the...

^^ but yours is rock solid into place now , and it has to be able to "flex" at this joint. Your manifold where it's mounted to the exhaust ports might be under a lot of stress like that, because of the lack of flex further down :dapprove: A guy on here was going to put on one of those...

:( Can i change the auxbelt pulleys/idler/tensioner without taking half the engine out like with the cam-belt ? How much is the job at a specialist or Renault ? (complete aux-kit)

^^ yep but all has already been done.. (cambelt kit) I'm only questioning the auxbelt tensioners + pulleys etc.. can i still do those without too much hassle or is it again another big job ?

:o bare with me;with my little knowledge i'm thinking the Cambelt-kit and the auxbelt-kit are two different kits ? with different tensioners/pulleys/idlers etc. ? Or does the cambelt kit contain al these things ?

^^ thanks Fred; Is it possible without too much hassle to still do the pulleys / idler etc. or is it another big job ? Is there space to work on this ? (timingbelt kit is on there, also new auxbelt ; just these things mentioned above need doing..) Thanks guys

I had my Cam belt + aux belt changed 2 months ago. What surprised me is that my engine still has the "whining" noise on start-up as before the belts were changed. (whining almost dissapears when warm though) Also when checking the bill there is only the Cambelt-kit mentioned.. nothing...

^^ :bump:

I'm really wanting to know why my engine is still making the exact same whining noise when on cold start AFTER my timing + AUX belt were done Could this mean that they only did the aux belt and not the idler/tensioner/pulleys-etc. with it ?? (i only have the timingbelt kit on my receipt...

Here in Holland my Reno Specialist showed me his manual where they recommend the TIMING belt every FOUR years now , still 125000 km though..

He's a very helpfull guy ; call / mail him ?

bottom one.. (dogbone? not sure how the 1,2 looks) And i've read that the 1,2 does have a lot of movement but yours may have got worse over age.
