Originally it was due to be approx 50k miles but due to them snapping and damaging the engine Renault then changed the advisory to every 36k miles. Get the timing belt kit as well so it will be under warranty.
80,000 for petrol and 60,000 for diesel
every 80,000k-90,000k to be safe.. had to change mine after 80,000k and was lucky pully was comming off ?
You change it according to the manufactures recommendations which will be at a certain mileage.
60,000
Ive a Volvo v40 diesel 1.9 [Renault engine] could you tell me when the cambelt needs changing?
It should be changed every 60,000 miles. I am not sure if it is an interference engine or not.
if its the vauxhall 2.0 dte, the answer is NEVER ...the engine has a chain, not a belt!
its a chain, never
if you use on short runs to shops stop and start alot then change every 50,000 miles its cost efective compared to new engine rebuild
30.000 - 40.000
Every 100,000 k miles
You cannot know when it needs changing, just change it every 50,000 miles.
