Having seen that. £1200 seems not unreasonable to have that lot put right.

You could well be right Steve. Those £70 an hour soon clock up.

37 hours thats not far off 4/12 working days. I'm finding it hard to believe this would take that long.
I remember Steve Shaw removed my dash and replaced my heater and put it back together in less than half a day.

That does seem very pricey.

How many £££ did they charge you?

Type 1.9 diesel battery into eBay it will come up with a fair few 096 batteries suitable for your engine.

I would try changing the regulator first.

Depending on what yours is. Either of these will fit.  VW Alternator - T3 / Diesel / 90A (brickwerks.co.uk)  This will need modifying if fitting to a 65A bracket. VW Alternator - T3 / Diesel / 65A (brickwerks.co.uk) What is up with yours? A lot of the time they just need a new regulator.  VW Voltage...

So the OP posted the wrong part number?

I think the wanted section would be a good place to start. This has the same part number but says it's for diesels.
