new dephaser.

[kevin.s]

finally got it done as i heard a few horror stories about them going and doing a fair bit of damage. mine had needed doing for about a year and in that year it had taken me to and from work nearly every day, done all my erons for me of a weekend, gone to devon and back and got a 15.8 time down a 1/4 mile drag strip so i think concidering, it held out very well. having it done has also made the car feel smoother when going from a standstill and also (not sure if it is just me) feels smoother to drive in general. the car is now running as sweet as the day it rolled out of diepe bar a o2 sensor fault so im gona give that a clean and see if that does it, if not then ill get one of them sorted then (dare i say it) there will be nothing wrong with it:quiet: lol.

I have absolutely no idea what you're going on about..

 

[kevin.s]

the dephaser pulley on the inlet cam that makes it sound like a diesel when on idle if its knackered lol.

I had to get mine done straight away as it sounded like it was going to die at any second. Lucky getting so many miles out of yours!

 

[motorola222]

when do these need doing?

 

[W111ALG]

When your Clio starts to sound like a tractor!

 

[Russ_16v]

If you needed it doing a year ago why didn't you get it done? Sounds like you were very VERY lucky.

 

[Alex_X93]

Can this do damage to engine? I was under the impression that they just get noisey?

Ask DR Rollo

 

[BenStanley]

Mine needs doing i think. Does it make your car judder on standstill? I fthese go it'll f**k your valves aswell!

 

[rich-6]

Will be doing mine when it goes in for the belts doing, Dont fancy doing it in a few thou afterwards, Double costs FTL, Nowt wrong with it at the mo though

 

[.GAZ.]

Dephaser pulley isnt a big job!

 

[franx]

when doing this, it means cambelt off yes ?

So in other words; new cambelt job ? (mine was just done... no dephaser pulley changed !?)


***EDIT*** sorry ! Is this changed when they do the cambelt-kit ? I'm beginning to question myself now as to wether it has also been changed..)

 

[.GAZ.]

Cambelt off yeah!

 

[ck786]

how much would this job cost. including part. cheers

 

[greglesueur]

oh ek, no idea these exsisted lol, best get mine checked...

 

[matty172cup]

anyone got a video of what it sounds like? and does it sound horrible and noise on idle and normal driving and even top end revs?

 

[sideways danny]

Ask DR Rollo

I should just point out that from looking at his pictures, that WASN'T the de-phaser pulley, it was the exhaust cam pulley and the harmonic damper part of it broke down

 

[cliosportap]

i have driven my car about 8 mounts like a diesel engine and no body can found the prblem inc. renault dealers at last by the help of dr rollo i found that it was dephaser pulley. i bought it approx. £180 and £70 for fitment in turkey

 

[Melfice]

I just changed mine. For anyone on this forum a dephaser pulley changed will 100% stop it grinding juddering and sounding like a deisel / tractor on idle

 

[W111ALG]

Yup done mine as well! Best thing I ever did to the car!

 

[Shopy]

i think thats what i need but it sound like the "tractor noise" is comming from the top of the engine, as in the cams! im scared to drive it!

what kind of money am i look at spending to do the dephasor pully and parts (roughly)??

cheers
