I'm getting mine done on Wednesday for £150 inc VAt and labour from a Renault dealer - I'll name them if they're any good.. Local Renault specialist wanted almost £250.
I know I could get cheaper, but it's overdue as I'm at 38K now (previous owner had it serviced at 36k and Renault told him it didn't need doing!)

£150 oh dear they havent relisted its gone up in price
172 Race Car
As lemonnobby said thats cheap, they havent priced up the kit. Either that or its just a belt change and they are leaving the pulleys (pointless imo as pulleys fail)
Ive herad of dealers telling customers that their belts look ok on 36k service
Well I checked and it's the full kit - I guess their labour must be dirt cheap! I hope it goes OK, this was the only dealer I called that really knew anything about the 182/172s. Aparrantly the Renault service network still shows the aux belts required at only 72K or 5 years, but they've had a fair few in who go by the printed service book instead and get them done at 36K.

well i picked up my car 1 week ago, which just had 36.000 renault service, owner told me the belt was ok, so renault did not do it, that's why i want it done! mind you he may have told them really... not to do it, as he was already paying for the service...

£25 labour is very cheap!
Yeah I'm almost scared to go now in case they turn round and say they've made a mistake. I must admit, I did confirm the price 3 times over the phone to be sure. They have both my reg and VIN number so they know it's a 182 with climate etc.
This is my my first Renault and I must admit it's a bit frustrating getting all this conflicting information from Renault themselves.... absolutely loving the car though ;-)
Just a thought, apart from the AUX and cambelt (or accessory and timing belt as it's described in the book) - there are no other belts that this could possibly be are there?

must say, this forum is superb, friendly people... i was chatting to a Renault Mech at the Westerham Meet Sunday (kent) first renault meet as only had car 1 week, so enjoy yours...
anyway he says, Aux belt is 2.5 hr job by Renault garage.
a thirsty one
gutted i kew i should have done my belt a few months ago before renault but the price up, my cars only on 27k but it makes s light whine sometimes like its overtight.
