an expensive month!
« on: April 02, 2011, 01:20:46 pm »
My Eddie is 4 years old this month. Just had a service which came to £900, including timing belt, tensioner and water pump, new n/s/r wheel bearing, ABS pump sensor repair which came to £97 after VW goodwill (free parts and 50% labour).  Also just taxed it for 12 months, MOT due on Monday, and all 4 tyres are at 2mm which will be around £400 to replace. And my insurance renewal on the 25th has gone up £50 to £405.

So £1985!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Well I had the whining tensioner problem when cold so am glad it's getting sorted, and a nice full VW service history helps come resale time.
