My Megane (1998 1.6 8v engine) is due for its cambelt change, the last one costing £260 IIRC at a Renault dealer. I'm loathed to fork out that much for the job, so apart from considering going to an independent, I'm thinking about doing a DIY job. Has anyone tackled this one themselves?
Looking at the engine it appears I'll have to remove the pulleys/belts for the alternator and power steering to get the crank pulley off, so I can get the cambelt cover off. Looks like there's a reasonable amount of room to remove things. Surely its just a case of locking the cam sproket and crank into position and swapping the belts over.
I can't see if being any harder than doing it on my Pug 205 with an Mi16 engine, which has a lot less room to play with, and an extra camshaft.
