just wondering what a timing belt on a 2001 1.2 16v clio is like to do is it one of the crank's with no woodruff key and you need locking pins or is it straight foward like the older ones (just mark the marks up on the cam and crank with the marks on belts) cheers

 

you need pins

 

Deffo need locking pin for the crank and to lock the cams as the pullys are floating aswell

 

i do it without pins but you have to be very confident and experience helps...be carefull

 

ye i have done them without but for the perpouse of this thread & him asking pins are the way forward

 

seems a shame to buy a kit for the price of the job by a pro when only used once tho eh

 

you dont need pins,they are locked bottom crank pully and only a single cam so just as easy as the old 8 valves

 

thought they would be like the 1400 etc, piece of cake then crack on sunny jim

 

cheers
