[105e]

Cambelt change is due timewise, excluding tools what do I need from Renault. Already got oil/filter and may fit ac delete while im there so don't need aux belt at this time. So
cambelt,
dephaser? at 68000, what else.

I am sure I read on another thread when researching a cambelt change that it's advisable to change the oil seals on the cam shafts due to removing the pully's anyway I also read that you should replace the pully locking bolt and nut.

 

[Mr R.]

Yes new seals for the cams which comes as a kit which includes the dephaser bolt and exhaust pulley nut.

Replace the crank bolt and dephaser well.

and buy O.E

You only get the cam end caps in the kit not the cam oil seals, you may want to consider changing these as well.

Crank bolt can be reused if it is below a certain length, 59mm rings a bell, but it is good practice to change it anyway.

 

[Mr R.]

Crank bolt is £8 not worth fcuking about.

Guess that's about it then, so thanks for advice, will get parts ordered up.

Don't forget cam seals if you haven't got them included in the cambelt kit.
