Cambelt tool/s

[mobilecarspa]

Hi guys,
I've just recently purchased a clio 182 ff and i'm going to change the cambelt, dephaser, water pump and aux belt... got most of the parts now and i'm wanting to know what tool or tools, locking tool etc as i know its very important to use the correct tool Where can i purchase? Is there anyone on here with one i could borrow perhaps?

Thanks in advance.

Ive used the micro tech tools with no problems if you changing the dephaser as well then you need the pulley locking tool, horse shoe tool for the cam shafts and the crank pin, flywheel locking tool comes in handy as well unless you have a friend with a big screwdriver...

You need the pulley locking tool whatever as the pulleys need to be slackened IIRC

You'll need the pulley locking tool whether you change the dephaser or not if you want to follow the procedure correctly.

Here's mine

Bought mine from a local dealer, without all 3 it's very unlikely the timing will be within spec.

These only have to be a nats c**k out and there down on power!

you also need a 14mm allen key for the dephaser

I wish I had the or a c spanner for the exhaust pulley.. Many of my failed attempts were down to the locking off the tools and moving the pulley before I'd even started to lock off the pulleys themselves. Doh

I've got a universal pulley holding tool for that job

Cheers guys! Don't suppose you know the rough costs of these tools or anyone on here i could pay to borrow them?

130-140? Can't be precise as was 5 years ago

Renault parts direct do all 4 parts.. For approx £138 delivered

Sell them on afterwards too, you'll recoup most of the money. That's what I did!

 

[mobilecarspa]

Ok thanks guys... Still weighing up weather to buy them or just pay the £180 to get clioturbo to fit the parts...

 

[levaz]

If hes only charging £180 to fit i'd rip his arm off.

I've done 4 or 5 now and never been quicker than 5 hours

 

[mobilecarspa]

Yeah not too bad, just going to get them to do it as its easier than buying the tools for £130 ish...

 

[levaz]

makes sense, £130 then 6 hours of grief, even if you can sell the tools to get some cash back.
or £180 and forget about it and get a warranty.

 

[dangerous dave]

It took 6 hours with 2 of us and did one a week or 2 before.. It's not a quick job on a driveway at all..

 

[mobilecarspa]

Aye cheers guys for saving me the hasstle.
