Hello there!

About three months ago, I decided I'll do whatever it takes to stop paying to "mechanics" to fix my car only to find a couple weeks later that the issue wasn't fixed at all.

Here in Cancún, its very, VERY difficult to find good mechanics who know how to diagnose issues -- specially those related with the electronics, PCM and stuff.

Even more, nobody likes working with Renaults!

So, a friend helped me borrowing his toolbox and I got -- with his help -- into changing cam belt by myself.

And now, I'm stuck. Been following Paul's channel in youtube for a couple months now, and I've learned a lot. But, I think it's time to join this fine community and learn from you all guys!

Thanks guys! :cheer:

Cam belt job went OK. My issue is with O2 sensors signal.

I'm preparing my writeup to post in the proper forum section.
