Was there someone on here that offers a service of clearing airbag ecu faults?
Sending the ecu to him and then him posting it back? I can't remember who it was!
Oh really?
I haven't heard this before. Most members on here do the dephaser at the same time as timing belt. I thought the 197 engine was basically the same engine as 1*2's but with a few differences. Depahaser issues could be one of them
Hi mate
Yes I'm quite happy with the work, I've had some suspension work being done too so I will pick the car up next weekend, that's my fault it's been there for 2 weeks as I work away Monday - Friday. I found the pricing reasonable and they kept me updated with pictures of the work being...
I've just used a company called Grease Monkey Automotive in Narbeth for my 197. They had a few 182's in for work including engine swaps etc.
Where abouts in west Wales are you from?
Hi Mate
I dropped the 197 off yesterday and I'm picking it up next Saturday as I work away Monday - Friday. Had a decent chat with the guys there it's only a small garage with 2 blokes there but they had a few cliosports in, various work being done including engine swaps and they also have a...
I did get a quote from them it was 520 without dephaser so for the sake of an extra 80 I may aswell have that done at the same time. I'm sure the 520 didn't include aux belt either if I remember correctly.
Did Renault iron out the dephaser pulley issues with the 197? A few people I've spoken...
Cambelt, water pump, dephaser pulley, aux belt and tensioner, can end caps and crank bolt. I think the full kit from RPD is around £360. So works out £240 in labour for a day and a halfs work as they don't want to rush it
Cheers for the reply mate. Looks like owning over the summer is the best bet then! So 3.6 is an average price? The only other 2 cups I've seen on ebay are a year older and with 10k extra miles both up for 4.8 and 4.9
Mine is doing the same thing on the 197 I've just picked up, could you not just use a few tiny bits of tigerseal or something to stop it from dropping?
Gearbox feels fine I haven't noticed anything to suggest otherwise yet! Next month I'll change engine and gearbox oils. The plan is too keep for a few months but have it up for sale and see what offers/swaps it gets
So I picked up a 2009 GW 197 cup last week, 62k on the clock with 12 months MOT.
In terms of mods is lowered unsure on how much and what on and has the back 3 windows tinted. The alloys are sprayed black (is this standard?) but have scuffs so need touching up.
It hasn't had the cambelt done so...
Thanks for the reply chaps!
New to the renaultsport scene but enjoying it so far.
Is the cambelt & dephaser something a normal decent garage can do or does it really have to go to a Renault specialist?
I'll be calling local places today and seeing if anyone is up for the task
Hey
I've just picked up a 2009 197 cup on 62k I got it for a decent price but the cambelt and dephaser pulley hasn't been done yet. Are these essential to he done at 60k? How much am I looking at roughly for it? And are there any renault specialists or mechanics recommended in South Wales?
