ibiza vr6 0 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 clutch is new not by me i would off done chains at same time and i think 7 is heavy really plus bits id do it for 400 plus parts its not that bad Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 £700 plus parts is heavy as it's approching VW prices.Assumed the £700 was incusive as I've never had a garage quote seperatly for labour and parts. Think Stealth quote around 700 inc. Link to post Share on other sites
RAPgolfvr6182 2 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 yeah but trainee spanner monkeys doing it.....bad enough trained ones loli they brake it they fix it as it would be under warrenty from them price does not include the clutch n to be fair this was before credit crunch so might be cheaper now as theyv got less work todo Link to post Share on other sites
