£413 normally. That's pretty good anyway before the discount.

An offer of free mugs of tea at yours?

silly question, how do you know when your cam belt needs replacing?
would you notice a considerable loss of power

 

[happycallis]

Its done on a time basis mate.

you only know it needs replacing when it's too late... SNAP!

There are no warning signs really, the sensible idea is... you get it done out of precaution slightly earlier than Renault recommend.
5 years or 72k, whichever comes first.

Lucky me! All there seems to be at Ktec is a random burger van and a town with nothing in it lol!

Bargain!!

Non genuine kit I take it, nothing wrong with them at all.
Make sure he changes the Aux belt as well, you would be suprised at the amount of cambelt changes I have seen without the aux belt change.

Thanks for this matey, it might not be a genuine kit but i didnt think it would matter. I will make sure he does the Aux belt too along with a major service. people seem to be banging on about the right tools but im quite confident as he has done many before! Still I will be checking her in on monday so fingers crossed:approve:

 

[Fred@BTM]

was about to say, if he ain't got the renault tools, run away, at speed

 

[BingoBanjo]

245 i got quoted, thats good mate! good luck

'luck' seems to be the word of choice...fingers crossed

Any votes for or against K Tec? I'm thinking they may be the way to go as I begrudge paying Renault £600ish for the same job tbh.

 

[BingoBanjo]

£250's about right for a nice PJ. Thats what i charge people to do them. To do it quickly, it takes about 2 hours on a full fat, 1 hour on a cup! Change the aux belts at the same time, as said already, its been removed to fit the other parts!! Special tools are critical to these engines as even a couple degree's can cause 10bhp out of the mid range!

Oh and dont forget the camhaft end cap's!!

This is all good to know, thank you. i will certainly have the lot done and although im confident I will make sure he has the right tools to do the job. it will come with a guarantee and i will check what this covers just in case

Thanks again

^^^ Lol, good luck keeping amused! Mind you, i'll be in the same boat in a few weeks.

 

[Andyman]

you can't actually be considering spending £750 on a cambelt change, surely?

Why whats wrong with that?

Thats including water pump at 70 quid and dephaser at £125 area.

Pretty good deal considering Birchdown is only 45 quid cheaper
