have you got the cam locking tool?

 

[greg182]

you need a crank locking pin,which you have to remove a torx bolt to fit it and remove 2big black blanking plugs to acces end of the cams then lock the crank when the big side of the cams are at the topthen fit the cam tool it is a easy one to do,jsut remember to replace the kit not just the belt

GSF sell that locking pin IIRC

 

[a4ndy]

yeah getting the tools just looking for a guide to see the best way to go around it and what all has to be removed

really its just for reference

 

[martandem]

So how much would it cost you to do it yourself, assuming that you have to buy all/most of the tools?....
Apparently it's a hardcore job and if done incorrectly can pretty much ruin the car?!...

Hey all, rather than starting a new thread I thought I would revive this one.

These tools that you talk of...will my local garage have them? i.e. are they specialist workshop tools... or specialist Renault Tools?

Reason being is I trust my local garage much more than a main dealers but don't want to ask them to do a job that they might get half way through and ring me and say they can't finish it?

Any advice would be most appreciated.

As your local Renault garage if you can borrow the locking tool.

Few years back i was offered the free use of it

So this CAM locking tool is specific to Renaults?...or will my local garage have one as they are used on other vehicles too? is what I am asking.

I will ask when they ring me back with the qoute but I've pestered them enough today to ring them again.

[Andyman]

I think it is but not 100% sure

 

[172Ben]

i always thought the sam locking tool was specific to renault. It doesnt look the same as others ive seen tho.

On the other hand i could be talking absolute poo!

 

[Chilled76]

Failing that can anyone recomend me a good garage in the East Midlands (preferably Nottingham) that won't want £692 to do the job?
