Time for cambelt change?

[182-scott]

Just wondering what people think. My clio 182 last had a cambelt change at 54k in 2010 and is know on 101k I've seen somewhere Renault state 36k intervals for cambelt changes or every 5 years. What price would I be looking at for getting this done.

 

[DrR]

Aux belt is 36k 5 years (some say 3 years)
Cambelt is 72k/5 years.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

5 years or 72k for cambelt

3 years or 36k for aux belt. Some people say 5 years, but I'd suggest 3

 

[182-scott]

Okay so it's time for a new belt then since the last was done in February 2010 and as far as I can tell looking through its history the dephaser and water pump wasn't changed at that point. Any idea of the cost of doing this?

 

[Stefan.]

Remember dephaser adds on £175iirc

 

[_Jay]

I just paid £550 all in, but it ranges from that upto around £650 depending on location.

Out of interest how comes the water pump isn't done?
Mine is due another too. Don't know if i need to get a dephaser done or not. Its not noisy but the car is 11 years old and on 120k.
(sorry for the hijack)

[MicKPM]

Because it's not timing belt driven and can be done on it's own without the removal of the timing belt. The newer F4 and K4 petrol, along with K9 and F9 diesels are timing belt driven and so should always be done.

 

[182-scott]

Just managed to get a quote for £886 to do cambelt, dephaser , water pump and aux belt

 

[MicKPM]

Hell I can beat that without trying: £717including VAT and 100% genuine Renault parts

 

[Iain C]

Ah ok thanks mick.

 

[182-scott]

Just had another quote from a local garage for £683 using genuine dephaser pulley cambelt kit and auxiliary belt kit. Is this a reasonable price to pay?

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

^ When you say local garage, have they worked on these cars before and have all the correct looking tools for the job. I ask as plenty of people have had issues:

I'd advise you take it to one of the specialists traders on here , they'll look after you/your car

Renault say 5 :wink:

Depends on which manual you get, mine said 3.

Do NOT go local. Trust us when we say this.

My mate just took it to his sisters garage, and within 2 days it was on a recovery truck home.

 

[182-scott]

As far as I know he hasn't touched a rs clio before. There isn't any specialist garages that I know of near lincolnshire.

I wouldn't be taking it there then mate. Worth travelling to get it done right

Where in Lincolnshire are you?

 

[182-scott]

Near Skegness mate

 

[Chi]

If Mick is local you won't find anyone better.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Near Skegness mate

Yeah you couldn't really be any further away from anywhere lol

If it was me though, I'd still take a trip to Nottingham and see Mick.

 

[182-scott]

Nottingham isn't too bad a lot closer then some I've been looking at.

How much would I be looking for a cambelt kit , dephaser and aux belt kit supplied and fitted? Thanks

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

http://www.diamondmotors.net/pricing/timing-belt-replacement/
£597 by the looks of it
All his prices are there matey

 

[182-scott]

Seems a really good price since a local garage wanted £680, will give him a ring and get it booked in. Cheers mate

Local garage also won't have the Renault tool's or the experience to get the timing right.

Take it to Mick. [emoji3]

 

[MicKPM]

That price is fully inclusive of VAT to and is using 100% genuine Renault parts

 

[182-scott]

Are you open around 29th December mate?

 

[MicKPM]

Nope, we close until the 5th Jan on Saturday i'm afraid

 

[182-scott]

Okay mate bit of a bugger as I'll be back at work then I was hoping someone could get it in to be done just after christmas.

 

[MicKPM]

I can't help I'm afraid, Family time
