how do you ondo alternator bolts and where are they
The Renault Clio, year 2002, has a timing belt. I believe some have timing chains but i ain't sure which.
72000 miles, 5 years
Take to garage as special tools required to lock cams and crank
I believe it has a chain instead of a belt. Call your Renault dealer to make sure.
72K miles or 5 years (whichever comes first) for most engines. Get accessories belt (alternator belt) changed too as failure can smash timing belt cover causing belt failure.
You put your seatbelt on.
First you need to locate the alternator just under the cam belt, drivers side bottom of the engine. From here theres 2 bolts up the top which need to be removed so the alternator can swivel thus loosening the old belt, remove the old belt, put new one on and pull alternator back so new belt is tight. Then redo bolts and hey presto. You may need a second person to hold the alternator tight to make life a bit easier.
