I assume you’ve checked out the information in the owners register? There’s an entire thread dedicated to #192, not sure you’re likely to get more info than what you find there but you never know!

 

[plackatini]

Thanks Claude. I searched on 192 but found nothing! To the uneducated (me) do I need the # ?

Cheers
Steve

If you search for ‘Renaultspeed’ you should find the thread.

 

[plackatini]

Thank you.

 

[plackatini]

Seems a good example.

I agree, although I didn’t see any mention of the aux belt being changed. Worthy of a check as they’re every 36k / 3 years I think.

Assuming it was done in Jan 2016 when the cam belt was changed then it’ll need doing soon.

 

[plackatini]

Assuming it wasn't changed when it was supposed to have been (Jan 16) would you be walking away or thinking, OK they got lucky and change it now?

 

[Claude]

On re-reading it looks like it probably was done in Jan ‘16.

No reason to walk away, just a consideration that it needs doing soonish.

 

[plackatini]

Where did you read that Claude?

Timing belts were changed by Wests at 54,694 in 2010 and later at 106,942 by Rentech Ltd which included the dephaser unit

?

Thanks

 

[Claude]

‘belts’ not ‘belt’ was my interpretation, plus a specialist like Rentech is unlikely to do cam belt without aux belt I would have thought.

Not sure how relevant it is, if it was me I’d get it done ASAP whether it was done in Jan 16 or not.

 

[plackatini]

Agree. I didn't see anything about the Sachs?

Thoughts on the price. They are defo going up! (Been a couple of years since I looked)

Thanks.

After checking with Renault, the belts are due every 70k miles or 5 years

Cam belt yes.

Aux belt, I still believe is 36k / 3 years. It was originally higher but was revised down. That’s my understanding.
