Welcome to ClioSport, The hammer

Hi hammer over that amount of time the pulley will be shot.
Possibly a lack of power too.
Its not that big a job. Dephaser and cambelt kit etc.
How can you remap something with a lack of power.

Get it into renault/specialist on here and get everything fixed

Forget about the remap until you have the problem fixed.
There is absolutely no point having a sick engine remapped.

As above , get it running right mate before spending money on mods.

If you become a member you will be able to see all the Traders's sections on here and see which is the closest to sort your dephaser and cambelt kit for you.

They will be competitively priced and will use proper timing tools etc

As said I'd get the Dephaser changed before spending any money modifying it.

Oh and Welcome.

Just think of it being a good excuse to get cams.

When was the cambelt last changed?

Join properly and you'll find navigation much easier (I made my £12 back in about 2 days)

You will get more gains from having a working dephaser than a remap anyway! So get that fixed By a specialist.
