Hey guys,
Just been to ashby cars in cranfield. Must say excellent service. For genuine parts and stuff there price was good. They are a clio specialist and use renault parts etc.
They charged me the follwing :
89.00 for cambelt kit includes tensioners
74.00 for water pump
17.00 for Aux Belt
Then 300 For labour....
Ok labour...fair enough....cambelt kits seems a little cheap for the price ive seen them go for, but they assure me everything is genuine and all boxes are renault out the back so i believe them, but still skeptical.
They have taken the car for a 10miles test drive to...and it does drive alot better than it did before! or maybe its because ive been stuck in a 1.2 for 2 days that it seems better lol.
Anyway sorry to the point...
On opening of bonnet, there is an ever so slight whistle when pushing the throttle down. Can only hear it with bonnet open. Im assuming this is just the tensioners settling in and they should quieten within a few miles or so....I dont believe the tensioners are toooo tight....its not really THAT loud, but obviously read around a bit and ideally want confirmation.
When i say whistle i mean actually a whistle...not a whirr etc..ideally i just want confirmation this is fairly normal....as i dont want to take it back and drive that 1,2 s**t bucket for another day while they loosen/slacken it off a bit.
cheers fellas
