Clio Cam Belt change interval

[Gymnast]

Hi all,

Opinions please ... for a Clio 1.4 16v, I believe Renault specify 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever is sooner for a cam belt change.

Now, the car is 5 years old, however, it has only done 16,000 miles. Is it still worth doing the cam belt or is there plenty of life in the old girl yet?

definitely worth changing, the belts can start cracking and perishing over time

there not to bad to do.the alt belt is worse than the cambelt to fit!:mad: bit more of an arse if youve got a/c
