Will the engine run better after changing the dephaser pulley and belts

[Clio182mike]

Hi, firstly I have searched. Will having the dephaser and belts done make my Clio even better than it already is? It's good now but can I expect more?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Only if they're currently timed wrong. They're a maintenance item, not a performance upgrade

 

[DrR]

No. Unless it’s timed wrong.

Mine ran noticeably smoother after getting a new set of injectors :up:

Yea but that bits already been established, so i thought I'd mention something else.
Mind you plugs, leads, coilpack, etc etc are all worth a mention too.

On a relatively stock car the idle and general shouldn't be particularly rough.

So esentiallly, yes the engine will run better, like new infact if you replace everything.

No point in doing things by halves.
