'98 Clio service intervals. - David Woollard
Got a Clio 1.2 petrol in tonight for its first MOT and 30,000ml service tomorrow. Chap had been quoted £300 for this MOT and "three yearly/36,000ml service" as the Renault dealer called it.

Now the Car's service book and two other sources give 10,000ml intervals for this car with a small 10,000ml service, medium at 20,000mls, a small again at 30,000mls, a whopper at 40,000mls....and so on.

This is an August 1998 car so has anyone else heard of doing them at 12,000ml intervals with the large service at 3yrs/36,000mls?

Thanks,

David

Dave - have Renault thought of suggesting a coolant change in Clios yet? They hadn't on a K-reg. my daughter owned.

Coolant/other service intervals. - David Woollard
Andrew,

Just had a good look in the Renault book. No coolant change period specified, I will do it at this three year service though.

Brake fluid advised at 40,000mls/4yrs, too long so I will also do this time.

As I now notice the car has recorded 36,000mls in three years whichever way you look at it the major service is either due now or due in 4,000mls so I'll do it all today.

But these long service intervals, daft. This one has only seen the dealers twice in 3yrs/36,000mls.
