Why your changing the cam belt at 36k though seems a waste unless your getting it done very cheap.
My dealer changed cambelt & accessory belt @ 36K on my Mk1 172!! I only paid for the labour for the accessory belt & parts for both.
Be warned - my car was in for nearly days as it was the first cambelt they had changed on a 172, after quoting me 6 hours originally.
I thought 36k was a bit early for a cambelt......Renault idiots!!
Eddie I know it does not run the cams its an auxillery belt not a cam belt but as someone has already said it will F**k you cams if it breaks!Quote: Originally posted by edde on 13 December 2004

The AUX belt just runs the starrter, aircon, alternator, and the power stearing pump etc.
The spec for changing the AUX belt was apparently changed from 72k to 36k but few places know there is a change.
