Default Any hyundai people about?

A neighbour has an 06 plate i800 and to cut a long story short the dealer they bought it from and take it to for mot/any work sound like they have been shafting them for years...

The latest one is a small oil leak that started a couple of days after its last service there. They want over £4k to replace the intercooler as apparently its swimming with oil and leaking, yet the thing doesnt smoke and there is no loss of power etc.

Anyway, i had a quick look earlier and i can see where the oil is coming from, on the inlet side of the intercooler pipework there is a lower rubber hose, and alloy tube and an upper rubber hose.

It looks like the oil is coming from the upper hose and running down the alloy pipe, the lower hose and then onto the engine tray... Then their driveway!

So what i am asking basically is how much is the upper rubber hose part lol?
Or can you get a samco etc?

Cheers.
