Greetings,
a general query about a specific problem:
My 1992 R19TXE, the one with the F3N 1721cc engine and so forth, has just broken its timing chain at 107k (not road speed, odometer!). So i'm setting out to replace same. I wonder- does anyone know of particular problems to look out for? have any advice re other operations best done at the same time? Crank and camshaft pulley seals?
and more specifically- does anyone know whether the belt is likely to be available other than direct from a Renault dealer? The advice I've had so far (from ASV) is that it's not. $75 is the price ny nearest dealer has quoted.
thanks,
Davros.
