Confusion Regarrding Servicing

[JakeyCUK]

Hi all Im due to be getting my 182 as soon as I find one I like, but despite a lot of searching, both this forum and Google I am still getting very mixed results regarding cambelt and aux belt intervals, what I seem to get on average is AUX at every 36k miles or 4 years, and cambelt at 72k or 4 years, but people generally change both every 36k or 4 years. Some of the other results say the cambelt MUST be changed every 36 or 4 years, and I have spoke to a dealer today who told me the cambelt is 60k miles, I hate to post this as I know how annoying it is when such a question is covered so frequently but I really don't want to buy one with an overdue belt change and cost myself a lot of money!

Thanks all

oh and I will add that I have read the stickies regarding mileage which said at 36k miles it was an A and B service, not the C which meant belts are replaced, however I've seen a screenshot from a .pdf from what was entitled 172 servicing and it said AUX at 36k, and seeing as though they are very similar this threw me even more lol

Cambelts 72k or 5 years, whichever comes first.

Aux belt 36k or 3 years, whichever comes first.

Cambelt is a specialist job ONLY.

Per the service manual, aux belt 36k/5yrs, cam belt 72k/5yrs.

Had my aux and cam belt done early personally, mainly as a specialist had a good deal on

I thought renault revised the 36k/5yr to 36k/3yr?

More than likely Dan, that's just what it says in my service book. Always thought it was 36k/3yr tbh, at least that's what I worked towards.

No on appears to know if it's 5 years or 3, it's all myths and Chinese whispers, butmy service book says 5 years.

Well thanks for the replies I think I will make sure the AUX has definately been done then and maybe not be so strict on cambelt as it seems to vary quite alot from 3 to 5 years, best of just finding one with fresh belts all round tbh!
Thanks
