@ fred
so they are easy to do ? like, i could do it myself with a haynes ?
same with a clutch ?
Getting the local Garage to do mine after a long and hard think about it! they assure me they have the proper tools - they had to borrow them from another Garage!!
I am getting my Timing belt changed along with the Dephaser Pulley and the Oil Pump and also the Chain because it's way too slack he tells me.
I hope that should sort out the problems i've been having which i posted in another thread on here... driving me nuts!!
Is there anything i should make them aware of when doing it?? i understand as i've read countless threads on this that it should be done by a specialist but i'll take a chance safe in the knowledge that i will take it a specialist if they balls it up!
Also, should i be looking to change the Aux belt and waterpump at the same time? ( i have a leak coming from somewhere - it empties my washer bottle, i can see it dripping through my passenger wheel arch cover)
Depends how handy you are with a spanner - they're not complicated but unless you have a rough idea i wouldn't want to risk it.
Clutch should be straight forward
My 182 is starting to sound like a diesel! It's done 69k miles and not had anything done with regards to timing belts etc. Can anyone recommend a garage in the West Yorkshire region (Leeds or Wakefield ideally) that could do the whole timing belt, aux kit, depahser etc?
Thanks

A day in the local French Car garage, £540 later and I have a new cambelt kit & water pump, I initially asked them to the aux too as I don't have much history for the car but they said it looks new so let it be!
I feel much happier driving it now, cambelt was overdue so I was always worried it was gonna snap! >_<
Im just looking at the pictures of the locking tools but I cant understand how it differs from the normal holding grippers that hold the camshafts together in place.
What is the purpose of the rear of the camshafts holders too?, even if everything was marked up and aligned correctly even if it moved would it not be possible to re align against the marks?
I have done numerous belts on twin cam and single cam engines but I dont understand the complexity of this one?

Hi new to this forum stuff.
Took my car to a renault speacalist for a cambelt change when i left the car was tapping in low reves up to 4 thousand, he told me it was a sticky tapit. when i was driving home the engine blew up. due to the timing being out. Got a new engine from that garage but not happy with there work. can anyone suggest a good garage in the Edinburgh area to check it over.
Cool, thanks should of spotted that
so am i right in saying that its 5 years or 72,000 miles, which ever comes 1st for a cambelt change?
these guys seem to specialise in renault engines... 519 automotive, would anyone recommend them??? they say £310 for a cambelt change
