FP3 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Can't believe it - just before 70,000 mile service the VR starts running very lumpy. Had a diagnostic done by local VW dealership & they report a cracked cylinder head costing over £3K to replace (obviously not an option) but said we could try & get it skimmed. Any idea of what this may cost & where to get it done (Herts). Also reported that I needed to replace the oil rocker switch, the water pump, coolant housing & cooler, plus rear bump stops, oh & a chipped fog light thrown in for good measure. What to do, up until a week ago it was a great runner just passed MOT with 2 new tyres. Should I get the head skimmed plus some of the other bits done or just sell it for parts? If so what would I get?Help me please!! Link to post Share on other sites

FP3 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Have taken it to VAGTech near Leighton Buzzard & they diagnosed a timing issue & a few other things but nothing as dire as a cracked cylinder head. VW dealership going to get an earful on wrong diagnosis & I want my money back!! Link to post Share on other sites
