Ouch!!..Cambelt/clutch price!!

[MrBlonde]

Just had a quote from Mark Fish to change the Cambelt £460+vat and then Clutch £500/600!!..so looking at about £900 or so to do both at the same time!.He said the cambelt is one of the hardest to do on a clio!.:S

All Renault parts tho.

 

[Sam@NP]

lol does that include dephaser?

 

[Carlv8415]

Is that just Cambelt? If doing cambelt I would do Aux as well average price for all belts on a 182 is about £750 so think yourself lucky

 

[plymcl172]

speak to Dan@SJM also yours is cheaper being a cup

 

[MrBlonde]

An extra £20 for the aux belt!.worth more than the car haha!

where is dan based plymcl172?

ok yeah sure..... click my link- Dan is a top guy btw! did my cambelt timing !

 

[MrBlonde]

yeah I had an idea on the price for the cambelt,never thought clutch would be that much tho!.so annoying tho as you can get clutch kit for like £120 and about the same for cambelt kit!.thing is the clutch is fine,i just need the release bearing changed and there only £10 haha!

 

[Dan@SJM]

I can do the lot for £850 all in. Genuine Timing belt kit, dephaser, Aux belt,elf oil and filter, Valeo clutch kit, and gearbox oil.

 

[Adamm.]

Pretty much the 2 most expensive maintenance jobs on a clio so was never going to be cheap tbh.

 

[MrBlonde]

Your based in somerset tho mate,that right?

 

[stevescort172]

^^bloody good price that

 

[Dan@SJM]

I am based in Somerset. Would need the car for a day.

 

[Matt e]

dan@519automotive is closer, hes in bedfordshire

 

[MrBlonde]

Im in Essex tho mate.

 

[stevescort172]

Op needs to see which specialist on here is cheaper then judge the distance for the amount of petrol that's going to be used getting there.

Edit: have you tried Rentech in pompey??

 

[Matt e]

engine dynamics are in essex

[MrBlonde]

Yeah ive sent an email to engine dynamics and two techs in Dartford.

 

[Chip-mk1]

S&MWM are in staines so not too far away as well.

to compare we're £290 (add £175 for dephaser + oil + filter) on a 172 cup (non aircon) and £399 to do the clutch

 

[MrBlonde]

Good price fred!.might be worth coming up to you mate

 

[Fred@BTM]

and that's INCLUDING VAT, not plus!

 

[MrBlonde]

Have you a website or anything Fred?

 

[Tony Hunter]

​Fred is Fred, that's all you need to know.

 

[MrBlonde]

[bright]

Btm performance is who fred is, basically. Very well known specialist on here, lots of people will reccomend him.

 

[MrBlonde]

[MrBlonde]

Cool thanks mate,i will give you a call soon

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Mate I had my belts don't by Fred last year. I travelled up from Essex and it was well worth the journey.

I highly recommend him.

 

[MrBlonde]

Oh cool mate,yeah i'll give him a ring.How long did it take to get there?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I think it was about 2 and half hours. That was taking it easy to save fuel costs.

that's cheap for belts + dephaser! good stuff!


just out of interest, why are clutch's so much?! is it the parts of labour that's making it that high?

Thats a cup price. No a/c

 

[The Fatty]

Thats a cup price. No a/c

still cheaper than I would have expected to hear!

 

[MartinR]

Around 6-7 hrs book time so labour is the bulk of it, as valeo clutch kits are circa £100

 

[MrBlonde]

Yep exactly!.clutch is only like £100!.i do most stuff on my own cars,so you do you reckon you can do a clutch at home?.
