Good Garage For Repairing A Renault?

[Richie Cross]

Hi folks,

Our second car is a Renault Grand Scenic and a wee while ago it developed some issue

with the starter button. Well...when you press the button there was a grating type noise

and it would cut out. Might take a couple of starts to get it running again.

Doesn't happen all the time.

Anyway..it was in for a service today down in Irvine and they said the problem was something to do

with the dephaser. If that gets replaced, they have to do the timing belt at the same time.

And they'll fix it for the bargain price of......£700!!!

Is this just another stealers price? Should any garage be able to fix it?

Anyone know of any good Renault specific garages?

Will I be taking my Scenic round to Greers??

Cheers

There's a few scrappies round our way Richie

Do you have a breakdown of labour/parts - what year and engine?

Hi Barry

Didn't get a breakdown. There was just a mention of it on the

printout for the service. Just said £700 inc VAT

The car's a 2005 Grand Scenic. It's the 1.6 vvt engine

cheers

£595.75 - labour 3.5 hours - say £200ish, maybe £100 for a belt kit, leaves £300 for the magical dephaser bit - ask for a breakdown of the cost.

you're telling me!

I Googled the dephaser and found the Renault Forums....yes there are Renault forums!!!

Apparently it's a known problem with our engine! Will give Renault UK a phone.
