suein56 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 HiPerhaps ... if this is wrong then someone wiser will know better than me.When I took my 9 year old Saxo to the garage for an oil change they asked me if I had had the 'courroie de distribution' changed; having no idea what that was but by dint of pointing and expansive hand movements etc we all agreed that perhaps this might be the timing belt and, yes, it had been changed at 8 years by my garage in the UK.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lautrec Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thank you Sue, that sounds like wot he said to me! Now I can go ahead with complete confidence. If they fit the wrong part, you will be hearing further from me. (Only kidding!) Once again merci beaucoup!Lautrec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I am sure you now know after paying the bill, that it is as previous poster said, 'Courroie de Distribution' for the cam belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lautrec Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Thank you everyone. Just back from the garage a wiser but poorer man! All's well that ends well!Lautrec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 It may help other posters, to tell them the french name for the cam belt that was on the facture.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me0wp00 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 it's most definitely a Courroie de Distribution, we have many vehicles and DH tends to replace them as a matter of course and goes to the parts place for them but the one time he didn't replace it on my own car and the cambelt snapped, needless to say another engine :( and a new cambelt . I had to go in the garage and ask them to order my cambelt and it was a Courroie de Distributionhthpipps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
