Lads (and lasses!),
For a while now, i've had a grinding / belt slipping noise when turning - it started off as only on full lock but has got worse recently, from reading posts on here it sounds likely it's posssibly the aux belt tensioner. It's an '04 172, and 2 years / 12K miles back had the dephaser pully / timing belt kit / access belt kit replaced - Genuine renault parts, and was done at a (former) renault main dealers.
Should I be seeing this after 2 years / approx 12K miles?
From reading on here, if you get the timing belt done you should get the aux done too, but would you say it'd be ok to just have the aux kit replaced? And is it as involved as the timing belt kit - would you say it's ok getting it done at a non-reanult / local garage?
Cheers for the help....
