Belt change confusion

[Craig01]

I had all the belts changed on my 182 at c38,000k I've now passed the 72,000k mark and I'm slightly confused from various posts if the cambelt needs doing every 36,000k or if it's just the aux belt that needs doing and the cambelt is fine for X years and till 114k?

Also if it is just the aux belt that's required how much is this likely to cost?

Cheers!

Cambelt 72k or 5 years

Aux belt 36k or 2 years

As above, but the aux belt is not 2 years, its 3 or 5 years (this is depending on where you read about it).

And the cambelt is 5 years, not 4 years.

Must be different for 182 then as my 172 service book states 36k or2 years for aux belt

The proper Renault book? Never seen it being 2 years on here before

Cheers! Clears that up! I'll get it booked in somewhere for aux belt change soon then.

Yep...36k or 2 years in my 172 service book.

Renault might have changed the schedule since then mind you!

See, not confusing at all

Ha! A lot of the time I think the confusion comes from what a manufacturer states in a book released when new and what subsequently is found best practice over time.
