aux belt 182ff cost of job?

[rocko_n82]

I have bought the belt and pulleys for my 182 with air con, mate is a mechanic and is happy to do the job, what kinda price would I expect to pay him for the work. He is doing it as a homer. What would garages charge for this?

Thanks

service has more or less been done so it's just the belt and pulleys need changed. I believe the bumper has to come off also so what kinds time and price for this work?

I'm in the same boat as you 35k on an 05

 

[rocko_n82]

so should I buy a cambelt also then and get both done?

If getting the cambelt done, make sure the garage has the special renault tool.

Ok so my mate reckons 120 to fit the aux belt, pulleys, new discs and pads all round. He works as a Porsche mechanic so I reckon he isgood enough to work on the wee Clio.
