Timing belt kits?

[gogsie]

As my 197 is 5+ years and no firm history of the belts being changed I will be getting them changed ASAP. My question is do any of you know of a cheaper supplier than the Renault stealers themselves.
Next question is should I change the dephaser as well, I did this on my old 172 and it made a huge difference but I'm not sure how the wear on the 197?.

I use genuine because of the high standard of Waranty, but there are plenty of equal quality options available. Gates, Contitech (continental) Dayco, SKF.

VVT pulley is not a dephaser like on older F4R's, but a fully variable pulley. It does not suffer from the issues a switching pulley has.

Make sure you replace the water pump with new genuine

Cheers Danny, I should have said i will be using genuine parts just wanted to know if there are any cheaper suppliers than the dealer's. I have a tried and tested installer so i'm ok on that front.
