You said its an easy job to do and its not as I said. Other piped up knowing very little on the subject and tried to put me down only to be proved wrong.
Buying a MK2 Renault Laguna soon, so need to sell my MK1 Clio, but them are a few problems I would like to fix first.
Keep away from most Mk2 lagunas
The first problem is when the engine revs past 3000 RPM, it makes the most awful whistling noise, easily heard both inside and outside the...
Its private properly most dealers and most techies don't have access to it.
Yes
Don't forget phase 1 and 2 wiring looms are complety different
Tell him just to follow the lines most likly the pickup rings broken they do fail a bit.
Depend on the chip and what its been programmed to do.
Don't bother with the unichip though or any piggy back since the stock ECU can now be mapped by so many places so well.
You don't have to do the waterpump on the 1.2 or 1.4 or dci or 1.6 its optional and not a bad idea but there no need to.

How low do you want to go dn't forget what advertised isn't always what you get and isn't the same as other products ir 60mm springs might cacth and rub on cornvers but with coilover at the same...
Its not cheap but in terms of what happen if it breaks and the inconveninace plus its not much in the grand scale of thing might a well get it done for peace of mind.
If the aux belt brakes it takes out the cambelt most of the time but your right in theory the only problem is the aux belt powers the coolent pump so if the aux belt did brake and didn't take out the cambelt then very quickyl your have a head gasget failed how long depends on loads of thing sbut...
The valve isn't cheap but its shoulnd't be that price they must have done other things for that, but usually it can be fixed as such by a good cleaning.
