timing

Hello, any one had problems with the automatic tensioner width wild cams? Like Piston to Valve distance changing over RPM Range? Regards Ivo

1.2l 16v petrol 84k miles. Sounding ratchety, like a diesel. Is this more likely a stretched timing belt or valve rocker gaps? No performance issues, just not sounding like its running smooth.

Currently doing the timing belt on my 1.2 16v clio 2 D4F and I’m struggling to find a tutorial online and when I think I find a good one they have different looking parts but apparently are still a “D4F engine” most of them have a way of locking the flywheel but I have no where to!! Can someone...

I’ve got a timing belt kit for my 1.2 16v 2004 clio, does anyone have any experience with doing this and can recommend some tools to make it easier? how difficult is the job? I really don’t want to knacker my engine some people say it’s a really easy job and I hope that’s the case I’ve done a...

In the process of changing my cambelt, i've read the process many times over but i can't figure out if i'm missing a tool or doing something wrong. I'm trying to rotate the belt 6 times to check the tension, which tool should i use ? The manual says MOT 799-01 but i'm using MOT 1801. I can...
