Took my car golf mk4 tdi, for m.o.t on thursday and it failed on n/s/f cv gaitor, asked my usual garage how much just to do the one side £82 + VAT jeeeeeeeesus !!!!!!

Oh well could have failed on something else i suppose

 

sounds right mate hours labour plus parts

 

They did say hour and half labour, the part is only about 20 quid

 

 

Not unreasonable I would say these days. Try having stuff done at a Ford Main Dealer. Sheeeittttte!

 

hour and half is about much unless the golf ones are a complete butt to do!ipresume its the outer one?

 

 

Yeah outer one, sod having it done at vw probably be 300 quid

Just booked it in for tuesday as i only have 10 days to take it back for a retest.

 

HOUR and a half ????????????????????

yesterday me and me mate changed a clutch in a vw caddy in 1hr 15 mins and that included a smoke break and a few phone calls.
probably could of done it in a hr if we were proper going for it,that included the box out on the floor back in with new clutch kit and driving out on a road test.

 

Fooking hell !!!!

I first spoke to my brothers mate about doing mine (he's a weekend mechanic) he said it will take 2hrs roughly, but he done one for me before on another golf i had and the clip came off so didn't want to use him again, when i just got the quote of my garage they said hour and half job so that hour and half labour plus part.

 

Do it yourself then and stop whinging, tightarse

 

my garage wud charge 35 all in on any make or model
