On a 1#2 the recommend times are 72K miles or 5 years old. Many would recommend 60K or 4 years on here though.
It’s a big job and a costly job
From an independent garage expect to pay around £450 -650 (172 cups a bit cheaper)
From a Renault dealership expect to pay £600- 1000.
Many chose to have the water pump replaced also as if the pump fails the whole belts job needs to be done again.
Rubber is funny stuff. Even if the belts look ok that doesn’t represent the state of the rubber. If a brand new elastic band is left in your garden over the summer buy the end of the season it will still look ok but if stretched it will break as the rubber would have become brittle due to the extremes of heat and moisture. The same principle can be applied to the rubber timing and Aux belts on the engine. All the rain and heat will have taken its toll on the rubber.
