Just phone up to see how much the 36k service would be for my clio 182 i want the AUX belt changed an full service...they said £697+Vat :eek: so i asked them how much it would be for the cambelt as well the said all together it would cost £1300..thats a joke...:banghead:

They have quoted you to change the tensioner aswell for the 697 + Vat which I was told they add 4.5 hours labour and its a renault only part.

Dont no mate! doubt it very much though

I think they will have, when I got my third service quoted renault gave similiar figures and I asked them whats involved and they said the tensioner needs to be changed along with the aux belt.

My car had only done 25000 miles so I got it done at another garage without the tensioner being replaced.

should it be okay with the old tensioner??

I rung around different garages and most said the tensioner was good for 5 years some people said 3years like renault, as my car had only done 25000 i just got it inspected. its been fine since and that was a year ago.

Ive just had my belts done 320 parts included and a service for 160 all in from a renault technician who does it on the side. Uses genuine renault parts and can stamp your book!

Thats cheap! Just phoned k-tec they can do it for £159+vat for aux/tensioners changed and a good service so might have a little trip down to them
 
K-tec seems pretty cheap. Anyone know of anything similar in or around Scotland? Im due for MOT/Belts soon and want to have everything in place asap.

Just looked through a few of their old posts, In may a Aux belt kit change was £160ish, so it's probs around that price.
 
Birchdown are very competitive.
Renault replace the full kit, belts, tensioners, the lot. Alot of other places don't bother with the aux belt tensioner and things like cabin filters etc and most use non gen parts, nothing wrong with that but bare in mind your not always comparing like for like.
Most Renault dealers will do a price match anyway, I certainly do.

Im getting mine done soon too adam. Going to be getting quotes from Birchdown, GDI, Angelworks and i've been recommended Total control racing.

Anyone else?

I'm after both AUX and Cam KITS and fitting

If you get any quotes before me let me know and vice versa.

Rentech, 650 for both kits and 36K full service. half the Re-nowt price!

Im going to order both aux and cam kits from Ktec, approx £280, then get them fitted by a renault specialist near me, approx £300. A mate who is a mechanic said he would fit both for £150 but id rather pay the extra and get them done by a specialist.
£580 for both kits fitted can be bad.

Dealership=Stealership.

Reanault are a rip off. Most of there garages don't know what they're doing anyway.

I took mine to Angelworks for all that stuff. I think it worked out around £450.
