Cambelt, Aux and Dephaser 172 cups price

[clarkey23]

I've just rang up a specialist (ktec) for all of this to be fitted and I was told a price of about £550 for the lot, I would have thought it would have been a little cheaper due to being a cup or is that a decent price espicially as there a specialist?

I paid £450 @ Birchdown but they didn't do the oil change (which I did myself as bad oil was the reason for the knackered dephaser!) so MicKPM's price is pretty much identical. BTM quoted a very similar price too.

You won't get much cheaper than these guys - for a proper job. Dephaser part is around £170 now!

 

[MicKPM]

Cups are simples and I could probebrly get it down to the £450 mark with some strategic discounting. We normally charge £300 for a Cup timing belt and then the dephaser and other bits bump another £200ish to the job so from £500 to £450... not a massive discount but its £50 better off in your pocket than someone elses


Shame the fuel costs would eat that up with ease so there's no chance he'd come to us for that (unless he really wanted to see the doggin spot over the way from my workshop)

I had my 182 dephaser , cambelt , aux belt done by mick yesterday , can't fault his work and at a great price aswell , very friendly and gave me some good advice . Top Bloke He even took me to the train station ha .

unfortunately he informed me i had missed the best time for the doggin spot so i was a little bit gutted lol

K Tec are offering to do the lot on my FF 172 for £600 is that too expensive?

 

[Dan519]

I'm coming in at £506.53 for a cup with dephaser and oil/filter

 

[clarkey23]

Right soo just given rentech Poole a ring, they said the cambelt kit(£120) aux(£12) and then 4 hours fitting at £37 an hour and the Dephaser £140 does this seem to be a fair price or is there anything missing? There not linked to rentech in plymouth by the way thanks

£420 for a garage I've never heard of vs £450 for Danny/Mick who are known for their quality of work.

I know where my money would go.

I would love to get it done by Mick or Danny but 5 and half hours + drive would be difficult with having work ect need someone a little closer

Is that for a cup with no aircon? If it is then how much in total with aircon?

 

[MicKPM]

That's correct, a cup without A/C

I'm just updating my prices now and they'll be posted later next week so DON'T take this as an actual quote AS IT IS LIKELY TO CHANGE SLIGHTLY but a FF 172/182 with dephaser pulley using genuine parts and ELF SXR oil from Diamond Motors is looking at being around £640 (Retail) and discounted for CSnet/MSnet/197net/CTnet/WC/C16v club members to £540 (20% off labour, 10% off parts).

Kinda makes the membership fee's worth it

that'll be plus VAT. Seems fair, you should do an oil change too

Great discount that Mick:cheers:does make being a member all the more worth it..

 

[Danith]

Fudging bargain of the year!!!!

 

[wifey]

does the dephaser pulley need changing when you have the belts done?? or is one of them things that only need replacing if buggered so to speak??

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Just to let you know Rentech Repairs is nothing to do with me .
Anyway if you was to pm the original Rentech in Portsmouth I would be coming back with a price of £450 all inclusive.
I take it's a Clio Cup without AC otherwise its a fair bit more expensive.

Hello Mike, is this including an oil change? Is there anytime not next week but the week after that you are available to fit all of this as I'm very interested in making the journey (would need too book the day off work) thanks

 

[snotslurper]

Can you take out the aircon garbage of a 172 without to much trouble guys?
