£100 + 4 hours labour at a guess

so does £306 sound a bit steep?

Post by **Mocki** » 29 Oct 2008, 11:33

206 for labour, no prob about right , they maybe allowing 5 hours, or even 6 , but at 4 its only £51.50 a hour, not out of this world now days i wouldnt think........

That's about 40+Vat and hour if they are allowing 4 hours.

Can you not do it yourself? Maybe someone local who could help?

Hi Nexus

Depending on your level of disposable income you could save a packet by doing it yourself.

Not a huge job and the only special tool you need is a clutch plate alignment device and they are not expensive.

Check out the price of a full clutch from the likes of GSF, Just Kampers, VW themselves (not always expensive by the way) and my favourite factors = http://www.eurocarparts.com/ where a clutch kit = about £75 depending on year.

2 blokes with axle stands and a decent trolley jack should be able to do it in about 5 or 6 hours, a nice way to spend a bright Saturday

Ideally i would take it to the same guy who looked after my split for donkeys years but it wont go in his unit and hes dead busy, plus i need it back for monday night so all in all im a bit stuck. If it would fit in my garage i would do it at the weekend but its a high top so no chance

But thanks for the super speedy replies guys much appreciated
