Cambelt change interval on a '98 Clio (Diesel)

Scottland · 16 Jan 2006 at 10:06

Does anyone here know the change interval for the cambelt on a Clio Diesel 1998 (non td).

The service history is "missing" at the moment, and it doesn't say in the manual.

I've had a google, and I can't find it anywhere.

Cheers

What Renault list is waaaaay too high. If you value your car, every 30k if you drive about 10k a year.

Cheers Lowe, glad it's not my motor

Until we find the service history we've got no idea of when it was last done, 68k on it atm

Renault say 70k. Which is BS.

I'll endorse that it gets done then. Cheers mate

It's not just the 70k bit which is the important bit though. The actual change is 70k or 5 years, so no matter what the mileage on the car, it's well overdue (assuming it has never had a belt change). I would also strongly recommend the changing of the tensioner and guide pulley on that engine as well.
