I just got quoted 4.3 hours for the 36k service, which includes the belt, so not too sure exactly on the belt alone.

Am sure Ben at Angleworks only takes a few hours to do this along with the 36k service.

I am not going through renault due that fact that all has gone wrong with every visit to renault here... completely fed up with them.

Not what I wanted to do just the closest renault garage is 2 hrs away.

This is just the belt to be done nothing else.

2-4hours is around standard i think, obviously the more talent an engineer has the quicker it is, but the more you'll pay for said talent.

I had my aux belt changed at Angelworks a couple of weeks ago and I can safely say that it did not take more than 2 hours and that was inclusive of some time spent struggling to remove a tool from the side of the engine before lowering it back in.

We charge 3 hours which includes the 36000 mile service, its not that hard a job if you have done hundreds, official book time is 2.2 hours.
Bumper does not need to be removed either to do them.

Hi Mike - why would a garage remove the bumper to do this job?
