what do renault do about cambelt failure

[Martin_172]

cambelts just gone in our 1.5yr old 1.2 16v mk3 clio, its in at renault at the moment (lease company sorting it out, car doesnt belong to us)

do renault strip them down and replace the valves etc or do they just change the full engine? (typical renault thing to do lol)

 

[Fred@BTM]

depends which is cheapest/what the damage is, on that engine i'd say rebuild

cheers mate, just didnt know if they had the brains for a rebuild in there!

was booked in for 72k service with cambelt change tomorrow, snapped today at 72,200 lol

48k/year in a 1.2?
