Could well be condensation/dampness on the belt, mine was fine about 2weeks ago, now it just squeeeks like mad,
Leave the car running to try and make the belt warm up so the dampness goes.
got my kit through now, and the first thing i checked was the bearing.
Now it looks totally different to that one pictured above as you can see in the pic below:
is that the correct one? im guessing iv got the wrong kit now tbh...
ok they were £35 on the bay like 5months ago as i purchased one. this is the new price: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/POWERFLEX-ENGINE-MOUNT-DOGBONE-RENAULT-CLIO-Mk2-172-182_W0QQitemZ230407785579QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item35a55fcc6b

^ ye,
Iv started on mine today, everythings off just gearbox to get off now, but no point until the clutch kit had arrived, but it took a good 4hours to get everything off for me.
Im no mechanic, its the first time iv done something like this lol,
But iv order a new Valeo Clutch kit from Eurocarparts £101 :dead:, but atleast thats done then. box is ready to be removed now took a staggerin 4+ hours to get the sub frame out lol.
Does the clutch kit come with a bearing ye? :o
How did you manage to brake your manual locks?
Just call any dealership tbh, they all do the same job and will only ask for the VIN number and reg, so they could order new locks and key for you, but you will be paying £££ tho.
taken from my thread...
those 2 bolts look like their holding the black cover on the box to me, but dont hold me on that tho.. il try and find out for you
Holy s**t, now i see what the real issue it..
Theres no sodding bearing in there, i remember puttin the box on and dont remember seeing a black bearing like that on there..
Box out tommorow then :)
Have you checked that you have bolted the driveshaft gaitor on the passenger side properly ye? should be 3 13mm bolts holding it in place,
also check the washer on the gearbox plug, give it a wipe and see if it comes out from there, change the washer if you have to.
Just a note, did you spill...
Ah great, atleast im gettin somewere now, would it be hard to change? guessing its a external bearing.. Is this also the release bearing fred was on about or is that a different part..
Cheers for your help lads,
Ye, you could use a belkin Fm transmitter, but what i found out with them was that the level ov bass from the song goes weaker, but the closer the transmitter is to the radio the better it is.
Can you connect a ipod into the back of the standard headunit?
i kno dan a friend of mine bought one...
Ye totally agree, i had my reasons why i didnt do it in the beginning tbh, but look like its coming off and il fit a new one on now.
Ye when i start the car the noise is there, when i press the clutch it get worse/louder.
Whats this release bearing fred talks of?
no, there was a clutch on the engine allready which had about say 30+k left onit, so didnt bother,
the noise gets louder when you touch the clutch fork aswell
Have a weird noise coming from my Gearbox/flywheel/clutch area, hard to describe the noise but here it is:
Now a mate of mine said it could be the thrust bearing, is that true?
i have no idea what it is tbh, and the last thing i want to do is having to remove the gearbox again, as its a...
