Have they got all the renault timing tools for the job?

Mot 1496 Camshaft setting tool
Mot 1054 TDC setting pin
Mot 1801 Sprocket locking tool
Mot 1509-01 adaptor kit for 1801

And a cam pulley wrench for turning cam pulleys to set the tension.

 

[DrR]

As above, good luck if it's a random local garage!

 

[stevescort172]

Oh dear, lets just hope they used the correct tools.

I would be hopey so.

 

[Stan.]

How much are they charging you?

 

[-J-]

It coming back ok all depends on who is doing the belts....

 

[Mr R.]

Whos doing them?

 

[hopey-182]

A local garage frasers came well recommended another thing when I get it back should I take it easy for a while

 

[.Stevo.C.]

As long as they have done the job correctly give it death.

 

[Mr R.]

Oh dear, do they have the correct locking tools or are they using good old tippex?

If its done wrong then you will taking it easy for more than a while mate

 

[Stan.]

Recommended by who?

It's such a key thing to be done right on the Clios that I'd only take it to one of the traders off here.

Strange thread.

What made you book the car in to a garage were you clearly have zero confidence in them doing the job properly evidant by the two threads you have created.... and yet went ahead and allowed them to do the work anyway?

You should have asked the garage if they had the tools and knowlege before allowing them to touch your car.

Horse bolted springs to mind.

I wonder if they know to do the dephaser while they're at it?

 

[scotty10]

is the dephaser a must ive read on here its 50 50

 

[Dan@SJM]

It's not a must, but highly recommended unless of course it's chattering away.

 

[MartinR]

No its not a must. but advised if you don't know the history of sevicing. Neglect in oil change intervals contribute massivley to the dephaser needing to be changed.

 

[gary_vvti]

To be fair.hes had the car from new and always looked after it and the garage thats doing it has done alot of 182 belts and even rebuilt them when the belts have gone.hes just worrying as always.lol
