My Clio recently broke, the timing belt is gone ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I phoned the garage to find out a rough price to repair, baring in mind, they cant really tell without opening it up to see the extent of the damage to the valves etc.
They said to me " if you can get your hands on a cylinder head with valves intact, then we can just swap the heads over and replace the timing belt etc " a much cheaper option.
So thinking that was a great idea, i went to the scrappies and asked the very unhelpful arse behind the shabby counter, if he knew if he had a Cylinder head for a Renault Clio mk 2 phase 1 2000 modem, 1.2 engine, his reply...
" duno... you got an engine number? " i asked him what the engine number was and where it would be, he said written on the engine somewhere.
So iv looked on my car, and taken a wire brush to it to see if i can find it, but i honestly cant, i think it should be infront of the heater, but the little panel there is rusted and hard to make out, nearly impossible.
Anyone here able to help me? if the engine number is the same on all these models and know where i can find one that i can give to him to get me the correct part. Or somewhere perhaps online i can buy a second hand/cheap one that will work?
