Cambelt

[GodwinSmith172]

How much should I be paying to have cambelt changed by non Reanult main dealer, its a 51 plate 172 with 48500 miles on it:dapprove:

 

[Gregg]

Mine's going in next week, £400

Mine's going in next week, £400

Is that cam and aux but no service?

If the cars a 51 reg it's long over dude tbh, as it's every 5 years or 72k (whichever comes first)

 

[GodwinSmith172]

I had the car in Nottingham renault who replaced the Aux belt but did not mention the cambelt. Now just realised should have had that done at same time.

may i say timebomb....

iv a 03 cup 33k and im getting mine done in the next couple of months no way would i leave it as long as that

price wise it can vary from £300-upwards if you just want aux belt and cam your looking at about what Gregg is paying £400 mark if you want a service also your talking a extra £150 ish but again depends where you take it etc and generaly find there is never a set price for cam belts as it certanly seems to vary.
hope this helps a little mate

Yes, got the service done in sep, but the garage didn't have the 'special tools' to do the cambelt. Inc. 60k service the quote was about £550 i think.

 

[edde]

£350 to say £500.

If it was me i would do it maself, its not a bad job. But if was goin to pay someone, well garages near me charge 200 quid, so aim for that

Thats the list book time though hence what most decnet places will use. It cna be done quicker but get a stuck bolt on one etc and you'll find out times adverage out about that.

Always use genune stuff though I've seen some right just/kits incomplete before now.

 

[sexyV6]

been to factories were parts made, most the same with differnt label and box,.Non gen companies wouldnt be out there if they was crap.

Arr well we'll have to differ in opinions/experiances.

 

[sexyV6]

[edde]

Theres good and bad puddings though.

 

[sexyV6]

Yeah done quite a few, was hoin through some old job cards, and counted 16, so should know what am doing.

If you have done them before there not as bad as made out really, there more time consuming than hard! Just a bit fiddly! The Aux belt on a ff is a bit of a pain in the hoop!
