dephaser

Hi i recently had an issue with my 182 completely dead and refusing to start with some knocking in the head. My hydraulic lifters were dead. Long story short I replaced all of the hydraulic lifters and cam followers just for good measure. The camshaft was still in good condition and everything...

Idk i think it might be on the way out, car was nice and warm, just after a bit of a hoon this afternoon, i think it starts to sound a bit diesel'ish, i mean what do you think ? Dephasing still works fine tho, still get the kick @5000rpm and timed at 6.6 sec gps 0-60 so it still performs good.

Hi all, Just bought my first clio182 last week, so I'm new to the forum. I bought the car without it ever having a cam belt change and at 59,000 miles I decided to get it booked in ASAP. I put it in the garage on the 25th for what I was told was going to be a one day job. I was quoted £469...
