Cambelt timing checking?

[medici999]

Anyone in the yorkshire area with the right tools to check mine??
I cant get it booked into rs tuning for abotu 3weeks so wondered if anyone could do this?

 

[Will.]

Tbh dude, travelling a little to go to a specialist will probably be your safest bet. NW performance?

 

[medici999]

Yeah im guessing that too..but if someone has the tools then they can check.
NW performance is miles away!

 

[EllD90]

Why are you bothered? If it's wrong, you have warranty... They fitted it.

 

[medici999]

Why...as for the sake of maybe £100 id rather have a specialist check it over!

 

[Damo_Sport]

why waste £100 though

 

[medici999]

As i doubt motor depot will have set it up properly

Tell them to pay to have it done properly if they aren't going to do it themselves.

 

[medici999]

Well if i take it to rstuning and it hasnt been set up right then surely i can ask motordepot to pay?

 

[rams_clio]

yeah if theyve fitted it wrong then they should correct it!

Do you think it's acceptable for them to do it wrong? No. So don't accept it.

 

[medici999]

but i cant be sure the timing is out...so if i take it back and they say it isnt out i guess i just need to believe them

2nd gear and floor it, if the car "kicks" hard at 5000rpm then its normally fine

 

[medici999]

thanks fred...ill try that!

 

[Fred@BTM]

and it should hit the rev limiter at 7200rpm when hot

if rs tuning cant fit it in , ask to see if his dads garage can fit u in

if they did it wrong the first time, what are the odds that they know how to do it right?

 

[medici999]

all the power deffo comes in at 5k which i guess is a good thing!
just need more power!!

Its his Dads garage that do all the mechanicals on them I took mine in for a change there, Spot on £570 for both full kits Genuine parts

 

[biojo]

I know in past it was, but i presumed after this thread

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=481024

he was taking some work on himself

Ye his dads done mine and a few other bits

 

[skiptontweed]

why waste £100 though

NWP changed my cambelt and dephaser recently and my car gained a noticeable amount of power (172 Cup). Clearly, the previous garage hadn't timed it up correctly. Definately worth the trip to NWP, fair prices too.

 

[medici999]

I know you guys say specialists are good! But my local renault garage say they have all the correct timing tools..so surely its just as easy for me to take it to them if all im wanting is the timing checking?

 

[medici999]

Guess ill just get my local garage to check then

every local garage i speak to has the "correct" tools.....


right up until you look at what they have


Perfect example is a guy on here this week tried to order locking tools, and no-one in the main dealer parts department, OR workshop had a clue about them.

If they're an independent, working from Autodata, then it will be wrong, guaranteed. Autodata for renaults is next to useless, hardly any of it is correct

 

[medici999]

Ah ok!
What exact tools do they need to have...cause ill ask to see them to check!

 

[biojo]

TDC/Crank Pin - 0000105400 - £8.98
Extra Longer Cog + Spacers + Nut - 0000150901 - £16.56
Camshaft Locking Tool - 0000149600 - £40.50
Pulley Locking Tool - 7711381801 - £40.50

run like the wind

 

[medici999]

I wont actually get to see the tools i dont think.

 

[biojo]

ask them for the part numbers of the tools as renault supply them

 

[Will.]

Nothing wrong with asking. Dont see why they wouldnt show you unless the have something to hide. (Using the wrong tools and knowing about it)

 

[sideways danny]

ask them for the part numbers of the tools as renault supply them

unrealistic

I wouldn't know that

Yep thats true!!,
Only with the help of the guys off of here and there vast knowledge did i manage to get the part numbers for the tools i needed to do the job "right"!!!!!!!!!
I did say to the parts guy at Renualt "Bloody good when the customer has to give you the part numbers"
To that he said "is there anything else you want"......

Got to love em.....

 

[sideways danny]

Took me nearly 2 hours in Wests Renault to get mine ordered

 

[Mr R.]

They told me the parts dept have to go throught the workshop to get the tools as there is nothing in there parts list..

But when the workshop "techs" have no idear, what chance do you have.....lol

 

[sophiesdad]

i have the part numbers if anybody needs them.
misread bojos post he has the numbers

 

[Mr R.]

I have the parts now, my wife picked them up for me on friday...

that dont sound good, wests done my cambelt before i bought it, and my 182 made 169bhp.. tiny bit underpowered maybe? possibility mines out?

 

[medici999]

A guy of here came out last night in my car and he said it seems to be pulling very well...so maybe motor depot can change the cambelt properly..lol
