Should I use a genuine Renault Cam Belt

[iPap]

And should I change the tensioners while Im at it?

Am on 64,000 miles on 1.8 RSi.

 

[BenR]

yup and yup.

The kit part number your looking for I THINK is:

77 01 468 167 BELT KIT N5 77.00 ---3 x 1

 

[iPap]

Thanks!

 

[iPap]

£97 for that.

£10 for the belt at Eurocarparts!

 

[BenR]

you get the tensioner and idler, higher quality and a gaurantee if you use the kit from renault.

Or you can jsut get the tenner item, totally up to you.

 

[iPap]

Its 10x the price in this case... I know I get a few extras but!

What gaurentee do I get? Do I still get one if I fit it?

 

[BenR]

cant rember Renault UKs policies on it as i work for Renault HK. PM JAY172 and he will be able to tell you.

 

[Tom]

Uk block exemption laws suggest yes as you are using the approved part.

But thats legal b****cks

 

[iPap]

Speak English boy, Im thick!

Renault kit includes tensioner belt and idler £80ish for the kit, dont skimp on these the renault ones are very good quality.

 

[JAY172]

you will only get parts warranty if you fit the complete cambelt kit(belt,idlers+tensioner).you should also replace the alternater belt as well.they might request to inspect the vehicle in the event of a claim so make sure its fitted correctly.

Check the alternator belt tensioner as well. (not cheap)
