Hi, been a Peugeot man up to now, but my daughter has her eye in the above model.
Can anyone tell me what the standard service intervals are for this model, and also the cam belt change interval?

Also, are there any particular points to look out for?

Many thanks,

Thanks, but I was hoping not to have to pay for this little bit of information. If I ended up buying a Renault, then it might be worth while, but more likely I would make do with the Haynes manual.

I only want to know this information at the moment to help me decide if a particular car is worth buying.

We have the 1.5dci, and the service intervals are 18,000 miles for oil and filter, but I like to do it every 9000, as the oil and filter only cost about £20 and it takes about 30 minutes including tea drinking time, for which renault will charge you £135!!

The cam belts are at 60k miles but worth doing earlier IMHO, and have the cam belt tensioner done at the same time, as renault did have a problem with these on the dci engines, they did recall them, but as far as ours went, not in time, so they had to put a new engine in at 45,000 miles.

Thanks for the info. Having now got one of these for youngest daughter. It has had full service history including cam belt change at about the 5 year mark (64k)
I note that the oil filter is probably one of the smallest I have ever seen on any engine before. I also note that it is exactly the same fitting as those fitted to the PSA diesels, which are a longer cylender, but same diameter. As I have a box of these, I will use them as a replacement I think. A bigger filter area with such a long service interval can't hurt.
I normally do an oil change annually anyway (much less than 18k).
