ouch... 172..

[James20VT]

Just been to renault garage to get a new pipe fitted on my engine as other was cracking...

walked into the workshop while engineer was workin on my car.. and up on the ramps was a deep red 172 sport...

Engine on the work bench, head off... asked the mechanic what was wrong...

The guy had the car 3 months, he started mucking with the engine and voided his warranty... and he snapped the cam belt and a bit of the belt went into another belt and all the inlets on the head etc are all bent, engine completely shagged..

alot of money to repair i guess??

unlucky son!

Not cheap.. specially at Renault.

oouch.. pricey.. as he voided his warranty he probably would have been cheaper getting it fixed somewhere other than renault

who would fix it?

 

[KDF]

Any other decent garage I would guess, put it this way .. labour costs are gonna be a lot less than a dealer..

true but what about parts?

arent renault funny with authorisng some bits and bobs for cars within the first 5 years?
