Sport Spider Q's?

Postby Trevor Skedge » Thu Apr 25, 2013 1:10 pm

Couple of questions on a Sport Spider. Does a leaking thermostat indicate anything more serious or is it simply as it says and what ould be the cost of a cambelt service>

Thanks.

Trevor.

No it's plastic and splits. Common. Cambelt cheapish nothing special.

Cambelt replacement cost? I assume it's quite easy in the Spider.

£50 for a cambelt from Renault. £20ish everywhere else.

£100 for a tensioner pulley if it needs changing.

Or look for a complete Megane cambelt kit cheap on ebay.

You may even find it still on the menu price servicing at a Renaut dealer and get a stamp in the book as well :D
