....Indeed it shouldn't, BUT, VAG cars are built as tight as a nun's nasty! We had to drill out some of the fixings and the job took several hours.

 I can see that might be a potential issue but as my car was/is like new it wasn't a problem, and if you get a quote and they happen on a problem it shouldn't make it more expensive  :wink:

....My car was only a few months old when it had its first Milltek. But, you're right - A fixed price quotation would safeguard you.
