cam belt and aux belt

[raggit]

decided that im gonna get both belts done and new water pump, got a price for the parts of £126 all in for cambelt and kit, aux belt and new water pump

and £100 to fit it all from a friend who owns a renault specialist...

so if i do sell it, least its all up to date

aux belt kit alone is £135 so don't know how you've done that.

ok thanks... seems k-tec are very very expensive...

£65 for a waterpump which seems to be the same as the one that eurocarparts sell for £16 http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2005/p/Car-Parts/Cooling-and-Heating/Cooling/Water-Pumps-and-Gaskets/?201745221&1&e1afd8560635c8154af057cc95353684c649074b&WATP

even the aux belt that k-tec want £16 for, euro have for £9!

so i shall get the cambelt kit (£98) from eurocarparts and the aux belt kit for £130,

thats £228 + £100 fitting... hmmmm seems ok

All i can say is no way would i be putting a random make £16 waterpump on my car.

Why you changing the waterpump anyway?

you ideally want original parts or the 'gates' versions. you want full kits.

Unless its leaking or a high miler you probably wont need to change the water pump. Seems to be a CS trend. IIRC they very rarely fail.

Its on the auxiliary belt anyway so even if it did go its not part of the ''big one''

riiiiight,cheers for the info guys, just spoke to ryan at NW performance, he also advised against changing the water pump.

right so its cambelt and all the tensioners etc, and the aux belt for me pretty soon...

gonna be an expensive year for the 182, shes just had 2 new exlato's, new exhaust mounts and now new cam and aux belts..
