Belts change

[AhmedRSi]

Been quoted the following:

£160 for cambelt + aux belt change.

Providing i supply the official renault parts, which im buying for £90.

So £250 all in for belt change.

Now... do i need to change the water pump too? Heard this can leak onto the aux belt.

thats a good price. id get the pump done as the whole job needs to be done again if it fails

 

[Timmay]

250 is very cheap!

 

[AhmedRSi]

Does the pump HAVE to be done? ie... is it recommended?

 

[Trainerbrow]

I'd be worried they won't be changing idler for that price, so ask to see old one after its been changed

 

[AhmedRSi]

Nah it a friend of my dad sorting it out with his friends so kind of heavily discounted

Changed a wishbone on my car before for £35 and you can stand over them while there doing it to make sure everythings done ok.

 

[Fred@BTM]

change the pump or you'll have to take it all apart again when it starts leaking

 

[Timmay]

handy having friends who can fix theings

How much is a water pump normally?

 

[Cupster]

Think its another 60 quid for water pump replacement.

do the water pump, it will save you taking half of the engine off again to get to it when it could be done at the same time as the belt, really easily. cheap price though

 

[AhmedRSi]

Will the water pump definately blow? everyone im talking too is saying dont bother with it no neeed... how will i know if it goes?

 

[Pettsi]

Sounds fairly cheap.. Hope everythings included. It is for a 8V though?

 

[AlexG]

the lifespan on the water pump is about the same as the belts, so im told, so just get it done at the same time. it is right down the side and quite hard to get to so while the belts are being done it will be easier to just do the pump aswell. but how long are you keeping the car, arent you upgrading soon?
