Renault 1.6 16V: Replace camshaft gear with timing belt, techs advised
The complete kit, in addition to the timing belt kit, includes the camshaft gear and water pump.

In Renault 1.6 16V (K4M) engines, including the Laguna model, the camshaft gear or the dephaser pulley, responsible for the adjustment of the variable timing, sits on the intake camshaft.

Febi Bilstein is currently one of the only suppliers in the automotive aftermarket to offer a complete kit (no. 36444) which, in addition to the timing belt kit (no. 36300), also includes the camshaft gear (no. 36415) and the water pump (no. 21239) – all components in the set are also available separately

In a statement, Febi said: “We recommend replacing the camshaft gear at the same time as changing the timing belt.

“Failure of the dephaser pulley can lead to engine management problems.”

Febi supplies more than 400 different components for the Renault Laguna, including filters, coil springs and engine mountings.

The Laguna model first hit the market in 1993, with an updated second generation launched in 2001.

Renault focused on quality and luxury, with a huge improvement in reliability for the third generation model, which came out in 2007.
