Advanced research - major service RS200

[Jehuty]

A few years ago I bought a 182 without researching as thoroughly as I should of and a year into ownership found myself at the 5 year mark and a major service on my hands and a 1k bill. Bad times.

Since then and a year into owning an Astra diesel I'm ready to step back into RS boots with a 200 early next year, this time a little more prepared.

Ive had a look through the forum but can't really find the answers I need. When I finally get to buying a 200 I'll probably be looking at a 09/10 plate and back to a year or so off the 5 year mark. Am I still looking at a major service/cambelt change at this point and what if anyone knows are service charges on a 200?

Thanks for viewing my 2 year in advance question, just need to know how much lube I'll be needing at the dealership.

Yep I believe it's still every 5 years, BUT there are specialists on here that are around £500 for it now

At the minute we do the belt service (with water pump and coolant) for £430 using genuine belt kits and parts.

I ws under the impression that Renault increased the cambelt interval to 6 years or 72k on the 200's?

They did but would you trust it? Renault also used to say Turbo petrol/diesel vehicles had 18,000m service intervals and look how that turned out!
