When to replace Dacia Sandero timing belt

Dacia came up with its Sandero in 2005. The message was clear: "lots of car for little money", the car was unbeatable cheap. Scepticism has long disappeared, hundreds of thousands have been sold in recent years. 

In the case of the engines, it was initially decided to go for the simple 4-cylinder petrol engine with 75 hp. This was followed by a 90 PS diesel and a 3-cylinder with a cylinder capacity of 0.9 litres. This was enough to propel the almost 1,100 kilo Sandero to a top speed of 175 km/hr. Naturally, this is accompanied by a pleasant average consumption of 5.8 L per 100 km. 

Below are the timing belt intervals for the Dacia Sandero.
