hi all, right recently purchased a clio 182, was due a timing belt change so did a bit of research on specialist RS garages in south wales (Swansea area) I didn't find any independents that were recommended so I bit the bullet and took it to Renault in Swansea. I was quoted £699 for timing belt + aux + pulleys kit being as I had a good deal on the car I went for it. picked the car up drove it home, fine. that weekend was giving a bit of welly and there was an awful vibration coming through the pedals, being a HGV technician I took a look, found the exhaust to be knocking the anti-roll bar/sub frame, then I took a look at the engine mount and it was way out of line with the old washer marks in the paint. Back to Renault to correct the issue and re-inspect. I have only used the car a number of times since then and yesterday on a long run when I noticed it was quite noisy at idle, having listened to a few videos on youtube it sounds like the dephaser pulley. I need some advise on what to do as I was under the impression that it was included in the 'kit' even if it wasn't shouldn't it of been inspected or advised for it to be changed as it is a common failure.
I will upload a video of it now for your opinions + I would appreciate any ideas on what action to take
