Cambelt quotes

[Litterascal]

I dropped my Clio 200 off at Renault tonight to have it looked and mentioned about needing a cambelt change so they gave me a quote of just over £1000 just wondering how reasonable this is and what's the best price people have got?

I believe you can find places that'll do it in the region of £400 - 500. Mine needs doing at the end of the year and i refuse to pay anything over £500

Had mine at a Renault specialists. Cambelt kit and it was £400ish. Renaults labour is ridic. Find a specialist.

Where are you based?

 

[197RS]

£1189 at Renault Hessle, water pump, cambelt, aux, full service inc. spark plugs, oils etc

I would say that is far too expensive. It is a job that should only be undertaken by Renault/RS specialists, however as others have said, you can get it done for half that.

Depending where you are based there may be a specialist who can do the work for cheaper than what you've been quoted.

I'm based near Cambridge but don't mind travelling the person on the service desk said that they take the whole engine out and it's quoted as 6 hours labour

Give Sean a call at Jade Developments, awsome workmanship and prices that are hard to beat.

Roughly 2hrs to DDC Doncaster, great prices at around the 350/400 mark, can double check on their website!

6 hours at like £80/ hour. Worth the travel to a RS specialist. I paid £40/ hour labour.

 

[DS197]

I paid around £740 for a cambelt change at a specialist. I also had the waterpump, dephaser pully and aux belt kit done too. Labour was £60 per hour.

£531.95 from Two Techs is what I was quoted last year.

lol at them saying they take the engine out!

It really isn't an engine out job, I should know as I did mine on the driveway!

That's a really good price. But it won't be the same this year I believe

Nice, you didnt do a 'How-to' did you ?8)

 

[Liam2708]

Had my cambelt, aux belt, waterpump and coolant done in December last year at DDC in Doncaster, cost £400.

 

[Liam2708]

Also fixed an issue without having to ask, with the top engine mount.

Nope, used the Renault guide and Renault timing tools. My advice would be - don't do it unless VERY confident.

I think BTM in Birmingham charge around £500

 

[Litterascal]

I'll have a ring round then and see what's best there's mark fish in Harlow which would be good for me
