You will sh!t yourself when you get the bill for a new engine. Get it changed dear boy, Renault state the dates and mileages for a reason and yours is overdue.

yeah sound! cheers for the advice

Never been asked before. Not required as all RS clio's have timing chains.














OMFG! Please search, believe it or not this has been asked once or twice (in the last 10 mins)

This minute - lob a coat on and GET FIXING! lol

10 years on what could be the original belt - disaster waiting to occur! Please comply!

get the water pump and dephaser done at the same time.

No need to replace the water pump as its not cambelt driven so can be replaced without the cambelt having to come off.

Very true, the bill is not a nice one!
