Time to replace the pulley, you can test it by pulling off the belt and spinning the pully with your hand or some compressed air, if it makes noise then its time to replace.
If you already removed your belt and you let the cams move you can't re-align them. Although, (BE AWARE IF YOU TRY THIS IT COULD RESULT IN PERMANENT ENGINE DAMAGE) if the amount they are off is minute you could try a socket on both cams and turn them back in to position. The marks should be on cam pulleys that would line up to a similar mark on the block. Hope this could be of some help to you.
The Renault schedule for timing belts on the Scenic is 72,000 miles or 5 years. This applies to both the petrol and DCI models as both have timing belts not chains.
However, please be aware that it is common knowledge in the trade not to let the interval go past 40,000 miles because these engines are renowned for snapping belts at any time after 40k resulting in serious engine damage.
Haynes (who are renowned for their service manuals on many models) recommend a maximum interval of 36,000 miles between belts on this model which is exactly half that of what Renault say!
This information from Haynes is backed up by experience and reports from the trade on the common and unfortunate experiences of customers experiencing belt breakage at 45 k and below.
Hope this helps. Please do leave a vote for the solution. Thanks.
sounds like you have a faulty pulley or tensioner. remove belt and spin pulleys by hand to see if they are ruff and see if their is any play in your tensioner.
