72k or 5 years for a cambelt change on all renaults except traffics/masters which are at 90k

 

[SBV116]

^ yup, but the 1900 DCI trafic is 72k, same as the laguna! it IS an interference engine.

^ooh its nice up there, haven't been for years

the old wizz bang 1.2 16V engine will be fine until 5years, i changed mine at 60K, but that was mainly because the water pump was leaking through the bearing (very common, i suggest you change the water pump also)
