[bossman_517]

hi i just bought a clio 1.2 a few weeks ago .it had only don 56,000 and i read up on it and found out that the cambelt should be changed when its done around 70,000 but i was plan'n to get it changed at 60,000 but my car beat me too it and it went while i was driving. i was wonder'n as it hasnt lasted it full life span is their some kind of warrenty to fall back on or am i banjackeds.

You should give more details about your car!

Is it under warranty or is it too old!

But, as it has not reached the reccomended mileage for the cambelt change you might get Renault to help with the expensive repairs. I have a Renault Laguna and my cambelt has the same mileage before renewing but it also says, or, every five years! and that is when I will get mine done when my mileage will only be about 48,000.

Go to renaultforums.co.uk for more advice.
