2002 1.2 16v Clio Cambelt Change



  RenaultSport clio 172 mk2
I'm changing the cambelt, ternsioner and water pump on a mates 2002 Clio 1.2 16v tomorrow due to the water pump leaking,

Autodata says that a camshaft timing pin needed, is this timing pin needed or does the crank have a keyway where the toothed pulley for the cambelt slides onto the crank. i.e the pulley is not free floating on the crank

Thanks

No mate, there is a keyway on the 1.2, its a single cam pulley jobbie. trusty old tipex!!!

Piece of piss job.

My sisters 1.2 Clio is due a cambelt change in March

Any ideas on rough cost inc alt belt, pulleys and water pump changed?

sorted then. no problems there! I think a main dealers changed the belt and tensioner about 15k ago. I doubt they changed the water pump though, is it common for the pump to leak on them?

I picked up a cambelt kit and water pump for £100 Russ 182, you'll probably be looking to pay around £170-190 inc the labour at an independent garage

Cheers

mine went, and was leaking like a tap. I was told it was a washer or something.

Ah right, this ones a strange one. On day it was leaking and using litres of water, then i looked at it and it was dry, topped it up and it was fine for 2 days, now it's leaking again!

1.2 16v tensioner = 100x more complicated than it needs to be, you need someone to watch pointers underneath :(

any ideas if certain size drill bit can be used as a timing pin for the flywheel or does only the genuine tool made for the job fit?

I used a bolt for it the other day (M7 i think). it's not that critical, just makes assembly easier. As already said, the tensioner is the most complicated part of the job, but a mirror makes it doable on your own.

thanks mate, saves me time messing about. i've got a mirror here that should make things easier with the lining up the pointer.

8mm drill bit straight in the flywheel to lock the crank, tensioners are w**k!
