Clio 172 - Sourcing Cambelt & Dephaser?

[danosborne661]

Hey all, new around here.

Bought my first Clio 172, 49,000 miles and been kept in a a garage for the last 7 years and owned by a guy in his 60's - real happy with it I've been through all the paperwork and I have no idea when the Cambelt was replaced, the Dephaser also sounds a little nasty which I think may be down to lack of oil change so I think I'll replace this even though it's only at 49,000 miles.

I'm going to source some genuine Renault parts, where do you guys tend to go? I found the below items and wondered if you guys would consider this best price for genuine parts? Is there anything else I need and would you recommend having the waterpump done at the same time?

Renault Dephaser - £70
Renault Cambelt set - £60

Neither of those parts are right.

Ah, thanks! And that's the best source for these parts is it? You don't find them for less elsewhere?

This set for £185 is the same thing right?

The same except no water pump. I bought that kit and a new water pump separately. A friend of a friend at my local Renault did my timing belt change and its cheaper from eBay even with his staff discount. Except for the aux belt kit, that was cheaper if he bought it.

Renault Parts Direct (Facebook) tend to be the cheapest.

And you know you'll get the right parts.

Thanks for your help guys.

Like I said, the cars only on 49,000 but no idea when they were last done and the dephaser sounds a bit crappy to me, maybe that's just how these Clio's sound :laughing:

You changing them yourself?
