Insides of a dephaser

nope

Lower, than, yawwww

where are you measuring? I measure the length of thread below the spring seat. If you're confident that it's all 100% correctly fitted, then try measuring up everything off the car. make sure the springs are the same length, etc. Hard to say with any more detail without seeing what you have

were they new?

price doesn't seem the best indicator of quality with this stuff. I can't stand samco's personally, they fit well, but they dont last too great in my experience. Never fitted Forge stuff. SFS is great, Venair is great, Viper stuff is ok but a bit thin

billy up ;) any automotive grade silicon sealer is fine. throw away the original coated metal gasket

i've used continental belts without issue

fitted some of these. they knocked worse than the old style. FFS

it's always possible that it's the pump. rare but it does happen. Quite a big job as it's far eaier to take more off and give yourself some space. I take all the cambelt covers off, remove the aux tensioner, and then you can get to all the bolts easier

wont matter if you do the bolt up tight. It'll clamp the sleeve completely still

depends on what you're prepared to spend. I've got a few things listed

general rule for anything like this (ie not designed for this use) is that it can be made to work, but you need to work it out. Using anything not off the shelf is a rarity so you're unlikely to find much, if any clio specific info, but there's thousands of threads on hundreds of forums about...

are you talking about the ABS ring teeth? if it's a cup it wont have ABS....... Genuine ONLY is important. if you use pattern parts you'll have knocking within a week. service exchange shafts ARE now available for a little under £150 (approx £100 less than new)

seen that at Santa Pod. pretty cool

very common. Can normally sort it well enough with some penny washers, but some brackets are damaged worse so need removing and a new bit welding on.

may have damaged the small bush when it was fitted wrong?

vvt operates at 1600rpm. I'm going to go with your cam timing being out too. Had the cambelt done on the cheap somewhere?

confused scirroco

well if there's flames coming out the front, they ARE out of balance, not out of the ordinary, just routine servicing checks with ITBs, oh and HI ;)

sounds like the bodies have gone out of balance, AT's are a pig for that

try turning the ignition on for a few seconds then off again (to prime the fuel pump) then start the car. I'll bet it starts and runs first time. If so it's just a slightly lazy FPR not holding pressure when the car is sat overnight

no, under the plenum on top of the rocker cover

wouldn't know never done that. however M6 (I thought you were an engineer? shoudl be able to tell the difference) with nylocs is racecar proven ;)

teardrop shaped gasket under the plenum. Check it's in place and intact

he'll never admit it. That would mean I'm right ;)

not peak, but they make loads more through the rev range. Peak power tells you f**k all really

this makes my head hurt. Groundhog day comes to cliosport. It HAS to be done, it's part of the correct renault procedure

Alex, didn't we plug in already and it came up with a throttle sensor fault?

closed throttle...... not something you have to mention on a standard inlet becuase the inlet is removed anyway.
