Bearings

[clowo16v]

How much is a set of main bearings for a 1.8 16v? Ive just picked up a 19 16v motor and box and i'm gonna give it a quick freshen up (new bearings, gaskets, cam belt etc) ready for selling as the motor in there has been feeling pretty tired alately.

See ya

Stupidly expansive from Reno IIRC, but Rich on here stuck new ones in his and found a cheaper place to source them

i paid about £120 for a full set of big end shells, main bearings, thrust washers, head gasket and head bolts from a local company, bb sell them as well and they aint too badly priced iirc

big ends

7 11 130 062 BEARING F40 24.62 ---3 x 1


main bearings

77 01 473 556 BEARING 41.35 ---3 x 1

hardly stupid expensive are they!

BBPT charge £41.13 inc VAT for the mains and £29.38 inc VAT for the big ends then 15 quid min postage.

You might get em cheaper from a factors.

[Lunner]

Sorry Christopher, but still when you multiply £41.35+vat by how ever many you have, 8? 4 top and 4 bottem, it adds up

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly

Meaning i haven't brought them and remember someone saying they were stupidly expensive.....jeeezzz i can see where some people are coming from now

[Lunner]

About £310 from Reno, and Rich got them for £120....i'd say in comparison Renault are Stupidly expensive, would you not agree?

[Chris H]

funny that, i pay the price I quoted as does the mrs when she gets them for me. I must go give renault more money as they are driving themselves into poverty eh!
