How long to remove and fit inlets?

[CuppyDean]

Hi guys,
Going to get inlets on my car this week hopefully and was just wondering how long does it generally take to remove them and refit them? this will be done by a garage as i dont have a clue where to start and i dont wanna mess around with stuff i dont know about oh and my car is a cup no a/c

Thanks in advance

i'd reckon on not very long. top bit can be removed in maybe 5 mins, never taken the bottom half off

Inlet or plenum? 5 mins for the plenum, probably about a hours labour for the inlet

Im not quite sure what is required to remove the bottom inlet, is the plenum needed to be taken off? im not technically minded in this kinda thing

a cup is much easier than a ful fat (aircon aux setup is the issue)

I knew Fred would be along soon lol so how long you reckon Fred to remove both inlets and then refit?

Anyone with a time limit? just so i know for labour costs

you have the new inlets ready to go on? Half an hour or so imo! No more than an hour, if so they are taking the pish!

Im going to do them on an exchange basis but im going to get a local renault specialist to take them off, going to get them done off ap-developments aka stan* on here

removing the inlet and plenum... 45 minutes taking your time, refitting 30mins ? (I would say that for a first timer)

LOL @ the hero times. First timer doing this and you'd be talking in hours not minutes. Its only easy when you know what your doing.

The bolt near the pulleys is a right barstwerd

on an aircon car? 2.5hour job

a cup with no aircon, could do it in an hour no bother

REMEMBER to line them up otherwise you'll be wasting your time
