T25 mechanic in/near Bury St Edmunds?

Post by gpthedoctor »

Hi all,

I'm struggling to find a T25 mechanic to take care of my bus, can any one recommend one near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk?

MOT failure; Complete Exhaust, ARB links, amongst other things - parts bought just need them fitted.

I've tried a few local garages but no one wants to touch the exhaust, saying the studs will just snap off and it's a big job if they do?

Thanks very much.

Exhaust not a massive job, easier with the engine out, and that's easier than it sounds.

try these guys, they might know someone if they don't do it

thanks guys, I'll give them a call tomorrow!

I would try the exhaust myself but know that sods law says all the studs would snap and by the time I find the time to get the engine out summer would be over!! :)

takes four hours to remove the engine, VW designed it to all come out in one.
no removing anything first, the whole lot drops out

easy :D
