Could I get a copy of the cambelt guide for my 172 please? Due for its 5 years or 70k mile belt change, don't fancy paying £800 for the privilege. ant_bean@yahoo.co.uk

Were you drinking last night? :-)

How many Clio 172/cups were produced, and how many have experienced auxiliary belt failure? I'll change the belt myself.

Thanks Edde, PM sent.

OK, I'll repeat my question then Is there an online guide for changing the aux belt?

My car is not 5 years old yet and done just over 37k miles. I had planed on getting the auxuiliary and cambelts done next year, come service time. Reading about the aux belt taking out the cambelt, I might look into changing it myself sooner. Is there an online guide for changing the...

I don't see the point in changing it regardless, if it's not worn.

Just picked the car up, cost £120. Bit cheaper than they originally quoted, no strip down of rear brakes since it runs pads all round, fuel filter inbuilt so doesn't need changing. No new air filter required since I have a fancy panel filter. Next year is the big one, cambelt, aux belt and...

Wow, I haven't posted on this forum for ages. Not since the Clio took second place to my toy car. Just phoned the local dealer to book the 36k miles service, £325 - Mill Lane Aldershot included filters/plugs/auxiliary belt. Could anyone local to Aldershot recommend an independent...

I just booked mine in at the same place, £163 with me supplying my own oil.

How to do they fit? I wouldn't want to drill holes.
