Cambelt & water pump changed 2019



  Clio 172 turbo
Hi I bought my clio 172 car that had timing belt, water pump and aux belt in July 2019.. With a mileage of 109.000.. Fast forward 2025...with mileage of 120, 000..should I replace again... I do 3000 miles a year and also aux belt looks fine no cracks and timing belt looks in good condition when I inspected it.. Also did I forgot to mention it's a 248bhop low turbo boost conversion.

Not advise on what to do but I have just replaced my cambelt after ~40k miles last done 2016. I have no issue running the time up a bit longer than suggested if you know the history of the car. Obviously always a risk though (just done my meg 225 that was on ~8 years also)

It's a risk but bought the car and the belts were done. I just added turbo kit but use car few times a month 3000 miles a year... 50/50..

You might be able to risk a few more miles on the cambelt if it looks ok, its overdue now though on age.

Id defo change the aux kit though if its aircon setup. Aux belt failing sending shards of rubber into cambelt kills these engines. If its cup setup or ac delete stick a aux belt on.

Mine last had the timing belt done in 2016 and it’s booked in for next week.

Not sure I’d risk it on a turbo set up though.
