Excellent - you learn on that one Alex, then when you know how to do it (faster & cheaper hopefully) and not make mistakes, then let me know and you can do mine!

I got one to do soon as well but its a Laguna V6, same engine but not as involved as the V6 clio.
Have fun.

 

[clarkiev6]

[clarkiev6]

found other faults too....

 

[ChrisR]

Crikey how much does that cost, and what else is wrong??

 

[Adam]

that looks like so much fun....
hope u get it done with no mishaps.

 

[clarkiev6]

cost... cam kit and water pump= just under 400 Quid + vat
aux belt and idler replaced (very worn) = 117.00 + vat
labour 350 quid + vat

all you v6 owners need to have at least a grand saved by 5 years or 70k miles...including me!!

includes coolant/brake fluid/aircon gas...etc etc

 

[GarethM]
