Hi All, I am the new owner of a megane sport and i need a new cam belt before I put any ks on it and would be typical luck to grenade the motor. It has done 111ks. I am coromandel based but commute to auckland. Can any fast frogs point be in the direction of a good mechanic.
Cheers,

Hi Mike, did you get the black 5 door?

powwow

Cheers guys, yes I did the the black 5 door. Very happy with it. I bought it knowing the cam belt was due.  I am building a house so not looking forward to the surprise cam belt price.
I will chat with Renault. Cheers for the heads up. Have you had any experience with re-mapping or shall I leave well alone. She is so quiet, are there off the shelf exhaust setup available? One guy mentioned they like a bit of back pressure from the paper air filters and not to fit a k&n type??

My Father just had the cambelt done on his. That cost 2K. They are meant to be changed every 5 years or 100,000km's. I was interested in your car (site unseen) but after talking to the owner he had not replaced the clutch or the brakes so it counted me out.
Awesome cars though. All the best with yours.
