Service intervals (Renault are confusing)

[Jonny1*2]

My bro has a service due on his 56plate mk3 dci. It's on 74k. What's due?

I rang two dealers, 1 said all fluids and filters, the other said timing belt. The first one said belts were 6years or 96k. Please can someone clear this up. The service book tells you nothing.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Every 2 years or 18K for non-sport servicing.

Cambelt is still 76k or 5 five years even on non-sports.

 

[Jonny1*2]

I was told every 12k. Why can't they just stick it in the service book. Dealers are clueless

 

[Dan519]

Cambelt is due at 72k so overdue

the rest depends on what has been done at previous services, and when. service interval for diesels is 12k, for non sport petrol's it's 18k

 

[Jonny1*2]

Spoke to three major dealers now and they all say 96k and 6years for belts :S

 

[Dan519]

I'll get an up to date schedule. Sometimes they're different for the same car on different years. 197 has loads of differences to the 200

Cheers Danny.

Dont have the mk3 dci schedule right now. Should have it monday, but as an example of the contradiction, a 197 cambelt is 5 years or 72k, and a 200 is 6 years or 72k. Identical engines, but they've switched to 24 month servie intervals. I'd always recommend doing more than the schedules say anyway. Apparently the airfilter only needs doing avery 24k, but it's always filthy after less than 12k, and it's hardly bank breaking

any F4R engine with VVT you want to be doing oil and filter every 6K

 

[Jonny1*2]

There is a shocking lack of consistency and knowledge from Renault.

wow every 6K miles (9K Km's)?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yup, in my opinion its the only way to make sure the dephaser lasts

When should the cambelt be changed on a 2.0L non sport 56 plate Clio III, 5 or 6 years?

i beleive around 2005 non sport clios moved to 1yr or 12k but then at some point they then put them back to 2yrs or 18k. my 2010 dci is 2yrs/18k

They did this for emmisions/profit for dealers. After all new cars only went into dealers once in 3 years. This way they had to do 3 times
