guide/tools to change aux and cambelt?

[graham_172]

has anyone done a guide or reference to the tools required and or process of changing the aux. belt and cambelt on the 172/182?

Been searching but no luck.

any help appreciated.

A special tool is required I understand for fitting the cam belt to the right tension. That's all I know about this one.

Cheers, Rob669

you just need the cam locking tool. It isnt as easy as other cambelts -

PM me your email address I'll send you the file.

Not worth DIY'ing it though IMO.

my car was on the road 29/09/02 and 1 owner with full renault service history. it's now covered 30400 miles. should I do the cambelt and aux. belt when i do the rest of the service items next month?

Have you done it yourself Edde? I will be doing it myself in March, I'll try to remember to take pics so that I can write up a guide for the forum afterwards. Graham please e-mail me at paulwavish at hotmail dot com if you want a pdf copy of the guide and tool list.

Ta,

Yep worth while it won't be cheap though for all the work.

Nope don't have a 172 and I'd never change one anyway best of removing the whole system anyway.

Do you want a copy of the file then?

Thanks Eddie, if you don't mind sending your version to paulwavish @ hotmail dot com then please do. I have one fairly comprehensive copy, but yours could be even better.

Cheers,
