Maaarlon Posted 18, January 2019 Report Share Posted 18, January 2019 Hi I am in the process of buying a Megane RS265 RB8 (2013). I have discovered that the timing belt is overdue, are these the correct parts? https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/renault/renault-130c12131r-set-timer-sft-drv/ https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/renault/renault-7701479043-water-pump-2l-1-9d-megane-laguna/ or https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/water-pump-timing-belt-kit-10553/renault/megane/megane-iii-coupe-dz0-1/57297-2-0-r-s Lot of cheap options on the last link - but are they any good??

vaughan Posted 19, January 2019 Report Share Posted 19, January 2019 Don’t do it yourself unless you have experience specifically with the F4R engine and have the correct tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaarlon Posted 20, January 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20, January 2019 Not a chance! So it turns out one of my inlaws works for Renault in France - He is getting me a nice discount on the genuine bits. I was going to ask Waverly Renault or Alpine Affaire to fit the parts in Melb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughan Posted 20, January 2019 Report Share Posted 20, January 2019 (edited) The downside to supplying parts yourself is that the workshop won’t offer a warranty for your parts, only their labour. So say the tensioner fails it’s your problem unless you can prove the workshop didn’t fit it correctly.

smy0003 Posted 20, January 2019 Report Share Posted 20, January 2019 Not much point in supplying own parts. Alpine Affair is very reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaarlon Posted 20, January 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20, January 2019 So I getting the timing kit, all the little seals, water pump + gasket, and the v belt kit (inc tensioner) for $360 All genuine parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
