[QUOTE="oscar, post: 174566, member: 2757"] renault use valeo waterpumps, gates / valeo / contitech belts and tensioner pulleys and idlers throughout the range. the one thing i will say is that this story you hear about ''cheap crap'' is completely unfair really. what some folk refer to as cheap crap, is actually OEM on mercedes / bmw / audi / vw / skoda / seat / vauxhall so on so forth among many others!!! the ONLY reason why so called renault specialists swear by 'genuine renault' parts is down to one thing only ; warranty. if parts break down then genuine renault parts are backed up by an easy claims system through renault. wheras trying to put a warranty claim in for labour etc through say gates themselves going aftermarket ...realistically good luck with that!!! same thing for other companies. ironically, i have seen some so called renault specialists refer to certain valeo and bosch products as crap just because it's not OEM. it's just ridiculous really and only serves to make them look like absolute products of incest to keep it polite AHEM. i have a gates waterpump and belt kit which cost me about £100, holding up just fine mate :) much better design than OEM too. i also use gates an veleo on pretty much every other french car that i work on be it a pug or a shitroen and i've never had a parts failure either. on pugs and shitroens, valeo isn't used as much as on renault too. neither is gates [/QUOTE]
