Depedns how they fix it cheap gaiters say £50 or less fitted..
personaly I'd chnageshafts as thats my preference but thats £150 or sof in new parts £0 or so second hand.
Depends on the engine size.
1.2 won't as standard.
You can tell if its an alarm though there should be little sensors on the front dorr pillars and a little LED down by the gearstick.
Ye decient enough alarm if its a dealership fit one then it depends on the fitter/garage but it won't matter...
ClioGB has a set for sale.
I'd personaly buy 4 new ones and chnage the lot ebay etc has them for £60 or so.
Some of yours will be fine just one is likly to have gone but you definatly should change two at once and idealy all 4 keep your old ones as spares.
There the same as the 1.4 ones.
Yep worth while it won't be cheap though for all the work.
Nope don't have a 172 and I'd never change one anyway best of removing the whole system anyway.
Do you want a copy of the file then?
Take it to a dealer chnaging th belts as I said is 2.7hours work the aux belt is a few quid the tensioners £60 or so.
Final price depneds what labour rate there using.
If your present knowedge of engines is that you don';t knwo how to attach the engine to the turbo I'd sit back and read a lot of books and managines first practical performace cars has just finished a series of articles where they DIY turbos a BMW.
YEp its most lily going to the the tensioners which need chnaging as well.
Its a seperate belt to th cambelt 2.7 hours to chnage if your a normal 172 if you've a cup its more like 15 minutes.
Yep its just a pain to do.
I find dropping it down and out and bringing the new one in from the top the best option.
Everyone seems to have there own preference include moving the radiator.
The dampers have terribale charecteristsis and they won't make them right they supply them with adjustbale dampaers which to make for any decinet sort of ride means they have to be set very hard.
I cannot not recomend the GAZ stuff eough stock is way better or spend the extra.
Gaz is cheap...
The other oprion is to wire up a variable voltage chip etc to the lambeda wires to make the car think the cats there as its getting proepr resuslts form the sensor.
Only one person ever done it and no compnay has yet for some reason decided to make it.
