You can get the cam belt, idler and tensioner as a set from Renault think they retail at about 83(I pay 50;)). Water pump is about 25 from GSF.
Dont forget to use decent coolant Renault also sell this in 5 litre bottles.
Not sure how much you should be looking to have it fitted though. 200...
Ummm very strange! have you given it a good service? engine oil + filter, fuel filter, pluggs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor arm. Also might be worth getting the injectors cleaned as they could be blocked.
If its none of this then it could be a faulty sensor or ecu etc. best bet like you say is...
Yeah its bloody hard! lol thats why i let my mechanic do it.
While your changing it best to do the idler and tensioner, also if your near 80-90K then get the water pump done as well.
I ve now put in mobil 1 15w50 and it sits at 1 bar when warm. And just around 3 bar when driving also when warm. Thats with 90k on the clock. used to be load lower on 10w40.
I have seen the kit and my mate uses one on his clio megan engine. It wont get wet as its directed away. And the water bottle is replaced by a bag as used in minis etc. Then the fuse box and alarm(on the 16vs) are relocated back a bit further. Believe me this kit is the boy and sounds mad as.
Umm if you look around and get a decent valver you should be trouble free. I ve only had wear and tear on mine just the usual and i only paid $450 for mine:D.
