Cambelt change - 172 non cup with AC

[LeeRS]

Hi guys, me again.

Having the belts due soon so I’m going to buy the Cambelt kit with water pump as per attached image - is this correct and original parts?

Will I also need the buy the aux belt and pullys separate to this?
If so, does anybody have a link?

 

[LeeRS]

Anybody?

I’ve messaged on eBay who I think is also on here but the reply is a bit vague.

I have asked if this includes the aux belt kit and they said yes, like in the picture.

Am I being dumb or isn’t the picture that of the Cambelt, outside of the box??

No that's not the genuine kit.

Get it from Renault Parts Direct.

Aux Belt kits seem to be on back order for ages now, so you might struggle finding one.

 

[JamesBryan]

You'll want to make sure you get the cam seals (ones that sit behind the cam pulleys?), they come with the exhaust pulley nut and dephaser sealing plug.

As most of the time they aren't included.

I read on here that these are the kits people recomended and the guy on here is called John boy or something?

That’s his eBay store, I’ve checked.

Confused lol.

It's not a bad brand but I always stick to the Renault/Gates belt kit.

Who's fitting it for you, can they supply it?

I've got all my kits off johnyboy-1 and they've always been genuine. It was a few years ago so he might not always supply genuine now. Just double-check first by dropping him a message.

The kit he's selling looks genuine bar the water pump.

Didn’t get a good feel from the messages I received back to be honest on the eBay store he runs.

I have a friend who does the belts on these (yes with timing tools) so thought I would get the bits myself and go that way but after reading different opinions and none genuine parts being hit and miss I will just go to four ashes Renault again and let them deal with it.

Not far off lol.

Such a faff to get done.
This is the last one ever. Then it’s just going to be aux belt and tensioner changes.
