The Cambelt Price

[Matt_Clio172]

I thought I would ring renault today as my mate is on holiday..... I think I will just wait for him to get back

Mumfords of Plymouth have quoted me £621 inc VAT for a cambelt and aux belt. That seems rather large considering most of you arer paying from £350-450. I have no idea where they got that figure from?

 

[Dansta]

do NOT go to Renault.

 

[Dan07]

Go to a Renault specialist

 

[black kro]

yep, £300ish from independent

 

[Matt_Clio172]

Renault Specialist quoted 455 which aint bad really. I gather it's an engine out job?

 

[bmh.01]

Nope is done with the engine in easily enough, its just a bit fiddly in parts. Bumper off and drivers headlight out for access is as far as you need go.

 

[TeZ]

yep float the engine, Parts r about £100+

Just had my cam/Aux belt done on my 172 cup at Fairwater Garage Taunton, they are a renault specialist. I payed: £150 for cambelt kit inc Vat, about £20 for Aux belt and some seals, took 3 3/4hrs £42hr labour all in just under £370. Takes a little longer if you have aircon. It's the second time I've been to this garage and I'm happy with the service they give.

That is a main dealer figure as it's got a very high labour time.

Go to Carlton Garage in Exmouth, Alex (ClarkieV6) is a member on here owns and runs it. They will do the belt change and the service for a lot less than your quote for the belt alone.

[Clio_Part_Timer]

Mates rates got me £300 for my kit on the V6 shame labour is a sh*tter with engine out for service, cambelt and water pump

 

[brisa4984]

usually in the region of £500 from ren specialists...

 

[gazbenger]

do you definitley need the water pump changing too?

 

[Neil G]

About £500 from Renault specialst inc service

:lolup: Try if mate, its not easy. Fiddly is an understatement.

 

[Hazza]

Would it be cheaper if i bought a cambelt replacing full kit from Yozzasport... and asked an independent garage to fit it for me? Or is it the question of whether they will fit it in the first place coz they're a bit tight?

 

[cat171]

do you definitley need the water pump changing too?

Can anyone confirm ?? My dads 172 is due cambelt change quite soon.
