What belts this?

[J273]

Can anyone tell me which belt this is on a 182 engine ?

Its just ,2 years ago i had the cambelt changed, and its going in next week for a service ,im pretty sure they didnt change the AUX belt when they did the cambelt...Even though i thought they where both meant to be changed at the same time.

Can anyone tell me what belt this is please?

Thanks

Aux belt.

Aux belt is 36k or 5 years, whichever is sooner
Cambelt is 72k or 5 years, whichever is sooner.

 

[J273]

Thanks fella.

6PK 1660 / 1662 in length if you need to know when replacing it too.

Oh and when and if they do the belt, make sure the tensioner and idler are replaced too.

 

[J273]

Thanks both


Edit:
Is a Aux belt + tensioner and idler a easy enough job to replace?

 

[Fred@BTM]

DIY? not the easiest!

 

[Pedro]

Fred, I take it the Idler, tensioner and belt are all part of the kit?

 

[rich-6]

Yup, Something like £120ish at Renault for the kit i think

 

[Pedro]

Sweet, Im having that done today or tomorrow.

 

[Christopher]

It's not a simple job on your own.

Well, it is on a 172 Cup.

But the tensioner's still a c*nt!

 

[Pedro]

Something to do with the AC on the 182 that makes it hard?

 

[Christopher]

Any 172/182 with AC.

 

[Fred@BTM]

yup, and you don't love me

 

[Pedro]

yup, and you don't love me

I might need a refurb sooner rather then later on my wheels.

Care to be my hero? x

 

[Fred@BTM]

refurbs are small fish these days, you not seen the workshop have you?

 

[Turkish]

If it looks anything like the garage floor at your mums I expect you've not seen half of it in months either

 

[Pedro]

Nope, last time i saw you you had 2 clios, my car, your v6 and a ka i think? which was around a year ago. :S


Ill come by one of the days to take a peak, im sure it'll be pretty impressive though. If you can do my wheels im going to need to source some spares in the mean time.

 

[BRUN]

£118.80+VAT for the kit

 

[J273]

What price should i expect to pay just for a aux belt kit being fitted at Renault?

 

[DrR]

Don't get Renault to do it!

Where do you live?

 

[J273]

Burton on trent

 

[DrR]

Fred in Birmingham looks closest then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Fred is just a man, BTM is the epicentre

Finally had my aux belt flitted today along with idler / tensioner...Garage who did the work told me it was a nightmare and took them 5+ hours to do without removing the bumper..im just hoping now its been fitted correctly.

Is it pretty obvious the route the belt takes?...how could i tell if its been fitted correctly or would this not be obvious without taking the bumper off?

Thanks

 

[Budgie]

That's reassuring, almost.

Surely, it's a nightmare without taking the bumper off, you take the f**king bumper off! LOL.

 

[Christopher]

I've seen one fitted to the wrong side of the idler. LOL.

It's worth checking.

LOL!!!!! it's 10 minutes to remove the bumper and it would have saved them 3 hours+

If it was routed wrong it wouldn't tension right unless they got very lucky

 

[J273]

Can i check this just from looking under the bonnet?

Or is the only way i can check by taking the bumper off itself?

I'm not doubting its been done wrong just want to make sure its been fitted correctly.

 

[Fred@BTM]

full lock to the right, pull the arch liner off the bar coming off the wishbone and have a reach around and you'll feel the pulley, belt should be on top of it

 

[sideways danny]

can be checked without removing the bumper, might have to remove the bumper>subframe undertray to get good access though

 

[Fred@BTM]

oh and do it with the engine turned off, i know that's obvious, but there are some stupid people that have no common sense

 

[ABOO]

Very true and very funny Fred!!!!

 

[Mr R.]

Damm you Fred, now you tell me after me loosing my fingers and having to type this with my toes....

 

[J273]

Not had chance to check the belt yet.....Getting a little paranoid in case its been fitted wrong.

I'm now unsure on whether its ticking now or whether its because ive got the cover off and listening for it.

What do you think from this video?...cant remember if it did this before or not.

[MikeB]

LOL @ 5 hours!

 

[J273]

Just had a look today by pulling the arch liner away

this is how the belt routes ,is this correct?

Thanks

 

[Fred@BTM]

yup, and that picture is going in my workshop manual! LOL

 

[sideways danny]

yeah that's right

 

[J273]

Thanks guys

 

[ABOO]

That picture is quality!! Gonna take my liner off tomorrow, just for a nosey. Out of interest what are the components, side to side. I guess some will be self-explanatary once liner is off...

Please bear in mind I am Frank Spencer when it comes to mechanics...:S
