DIY Cam belt renewal.

[Soot1e]

I've managed to renew cam belts in my previous cars, some very awkward and some easy. Is this possible on a Clio 172? Do you have to take the engine out. Any special tools or pitfalls.
Before you say it I can't access FAQ's yet , probably not enough posts yet.

do a search mate, theres a thread every day on this.

The pukka Renault tools are a must IIRC.
The engine stays in, but it is a pain on Fullfats, but easier on cups because it's a simpler aux belt.

You may not be able to access FAQs because you aren't a paid up member.

Thanks for the answers. As you say the search throws up a load off threads.

Thanks mate thats a nice offer. Won't need it yet as I'm looking for a 172 to buy, currently looking at around for a cheapo car for trackdays.
