cambelt rubbing case

[Fred@BTM]

the 2 idlers both have a spacer, the upper 1 is short, the lower one is longer, he could mix them up, but i highly doubt he'd be that stupid

 

[Fred@BTM]

make sure you have a warranty on the work, it just sounds like the guy is a bit lacking in his renault knowledge

[Ellis182]

[Fred@BTM]

yes danny but Ellis obviously didnt see it

 

[Ellis182]

Lol

 

[Gaz_]

why don't people learn to only use specialists with good reps off here, 519, rentec, btm, birchdown etc. Madness!

 

[Gouldy]

your tensioner was 180 degrees off and the belt was flapping around that much it had rubbed the case, so i retract my comment LOL!

I know, I couldn't believe what you found tbh. Can you email me my invoice please. I still haven't received it and inreally need some service history. Thanks bud

 

[Ellis182]

wow now, this guy has a big rep around my area, it wasnt cheap etc.. money was no object its just that it was more conveniant

 

[Fred@BTM]

one of my customers, a championship winning rally cross company built a 172 engine that lasted 12miles - why? lack of knowledge when it comes to the F4R

you could be an F1 engine builder, but if you dont know the processes/tools etc involved you can royally f**k it up on the F4R

 

[Alastair.]

lol

 

[Ellis182]

i understand what your sayin fred, i do have a 12 month warranty aswell which does help lol, but nm next time i know now

 

[Ellis182]

iv seen the tools needed, cam locks etc.. seen it on one of the threads, i actually seen those tools on the bench so i think its down to knowledge now lolol

 

[Gouldy]

My father in law is determined to time his 182 engine up him self. Despite me telling him alOt of garages mess them up never mind wagon drivers (he is a wagon driver) he just won't listen and they have spent £600 on parts plus what ever the locking tools cost. I'm not even sure they have bought the right locking tools for the f4r tbh.

They will mess it up, I know they will. Then they will winge like mad that their timing is out.

Thus the circle is repeated. Lesson; always use the specialists and don't skimp on cost.

 

[Ellis182]

Im not skimpin on costs though, like i said money is no object

 

[Ellis182]

I know what your saying tho gouldy nice one , you fred cheers bud

 

[Gouldy]

Just trying to help buddy. If I were you I would go collect your car and take it to a competant garage. For a list of the competent garages have a look in the traders section. The only trader I have experience with is BTM (Fred). They did my cambelt, aux belt, dephaser, and a 12k service. They come highly recommended and that's not just from me.
