No its not renaultsport specific, he won't have any problems going this far without using the pulley locking tool but he needs it to slacken the exhaust pulley nut and the dephaser pulley bolt off to allow the new belt to be fitted properly.
They'll rip the threads out of the inlets before the bolts shear, the inlets are only ali. So new bolts might be a waste of time! Worth looking first, have to go down other routes if its ripped the threads.
I'd say its more to do with the oil expanding slightly rather than vapour causing a false reading. In the real world I very much doubt it makes a difference.
To someone that knows what they're on about, yes imo. In the real world 99% of people don't have a clue about it. I wouldn't loose sleep over it anyway.

And theres one in cov.
Yes, thats it it must be your fault it can't be something wrong with apples perfect creation ;).
My first though was app running in the background though too. Its still crap though, been caught out with that before myself.
I'm going with this, mines exactly the same and always has been as long as i've had it. Deffo comes from the oil pump area of the engine and isn't the aux belt slipping and its had 2x new belt and tensioner through its time with me and always the same. Sure the 172 never did it though. Doesn't...
