Ok not the noise I'm getting going to do the belts dephaser and water pump to be safe anything else I should change while I'm in there??

 

[Mr R.]

you don't need to re place the water pump tbh as its only driven off of the aux belt.

I wouldn't rule this out.

When I bought my Cup I thought the noise was the Dephaser but it was actually the Waterpump. Best to have them both changed whilst the belt etc is getting done, it's only a extra £80 or something.

Change water pump whilst you are there! yep its only auxbelt driven but they seem to be failing quite alot lately.

Oh ok fair enough, i was told by Fred that they dont need replacing when i did my belt (it was 3 years ago) was going to but he said the water pumps on these engines go on for ever

Mine went and know of a fair few others that have gone too.

Yeah would be doing the pump for piece if mind had a strange one today phoned my local renault dealer for a price on getting the work done only to be told my car doesn't have a dephaser ?? Surely that's an error on there computer system? Or we're there some f4r engines without them?
