How is the timing belt fitment on a Renault Master?
As with most vehicles of this genre, the cold engine is rotated manually in order to bed the belt into the pulleys and to compress the fabric of the jacket around the teeth. The engine is equipped with an automatic tensioner.
Is the Renault Master 2.5 D T35 camper obsolete?
All Masters from 1998-2003 suffer from a cr@p design of gearbox and they fail regularly (most don’t reach 80k!) If they go in spectacular fashion like mine did, you’re pretty much stuffed as the bell housings are now obsolete and get trashed when bearings collapse.
Is the T35 Master still using the original gearbox?
My ’87 T35 Master van was a Diesel non-turbo but later had the Turbo Diesel engine fitted. I believe that it is still using the original gearbox (i.e. the non-turbo version). Does anyone know of a better diff or gearbox for my van?
What’s the tension setting on a Renault Master?
