The cam belt which works the water pump. Cheers. Donna
If it's a Scenic model about £300+. If any other model alot
£700 according to Renauilt Enfield. Ouch! Quoted replacement time is 3hrs.6 minutes.
your best option is to put car in garage.you will need special tools.also get cam belt changed while its in.hope this helps.steve
take it to a proper garage
Just bought one myself. Mechanic in work (who also used to own an rx4) claims that it need to be changed after 70.000 miles.
not sure if it is of any help but i have just bought vauxhall movano 02 model had cam belt changed
At a garage, no way is this a home job
how many miles before you have to change cambelt on Renault kangoo 1.5 dci van
i take it were talking Renault here if so definitely not bent at best bent valves or worse could of done the piston in if you buy a french car eg Peugeot 1.8 2.0 etc same on a Renault 1.8 2.0 etc if people say tapets are noisey don't touch with a barge pole as this is a common sign of a cam belt that has snapped and hasn't been repaired properly and the most expensive and common fault on scenics is the gearboxs £2000 by Renault
The cam belt replacement on a Renault Clio Grande 1.2 might cost over $1,000. It all depends on who is doing the work. Labor cost will be a big factor for this type of job. The entire front of the motor needs to come off to replace the cam belt. The timing also has to be reset.
YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE CAM BELT EVERY 30,000 MILES OR EVERY FIVE YEARS,WHICH EVER COMES FIRST.
