36k service, what need’s doing

[Viv172]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and couldn’t find what I was looking for.

Im getting my car serviced independently and need to know the following

What do they do/check for the 36k service on a 172?

What parts do I need to buy?

Cheers

 

[ian172]

oil, oil filter, fuel filter, pollen filter, air filter, auxiary belt change.

check all brakes etc etc.

36k is the major service!!!

 

[Viv172]

Thanks for that, so the belt definitely needs changing and not just checking?

how much is it going to cost you independently as a matter of interest? Ive been quoted £260 for the 36k service from the bonnet denters at Renault

Just the cost of the parts, my sisters bf is going to do it, Ill give him a few quid for his trouble tho,

The last time I went to an independent garage was to get all four sets of brake pads changed, it cost £30 plus the pads, Renault were asking nearly £200 inclusive. So well worth asking around for the service.

 

[ian172]

yes the belt def needs to be changed, the belt from renault is only £18.49.

a 36k service from renault is 300 quid!!!

isnt fuel filter only done at 72K, very hard to get to part is it not?

 

[badinvincible]

Do a search, there was a large thread about this that I started about a month ago.



Respect to clarkiev6 in advance.

Hey Viv remember its only the Auxiliary belt.........NOT the timing belt...........it jusr sounded like thats what you were thinking.

[Viv172]

Yeah thanks Stu, Ive just done another search, everyone has a different opinion on this, so no fuel filter change then??

 

[clarkiev6]
