Would it be advisable to have the oil pickup pipe renewed and the inlet manifold cleaned.
Or am I getting confused??

Definitely worth doing the oil pickup for preventative maintenance. The carbon cleaning isn't so much of a big deal.
Ok thanks .
Do I buy a new pipe ?

oil pickup pipe + seal
oil system cleaner
oil filter + oil.
new sump plug
sump sealant
£350 inc vat.
Does that sound about right?

£350 seems a bit steep. It's a dead easy job DIY and the tube and sealant are cheap enough. In this day and age I prefer to do that sort of thing myself to ensure it's done properly and most cost effectively.

Sounds like Turners are more interested in making money on parts sales if they won’t fit proper VAG parts supplied by their customers
sounds about right

If it don’t leak why bother. Back in the day with copper squash washers it was different.

Sounds like they only want the work if they can wring out as much cash as possible from you.
Awesome gti will fit owner supplied parts

As for customer supplied parts - fully agree with them 100%. They then have to warrant those parts as if they supplied them but could never claim the labour should the parts fail, not to mention the cost/hassle if said parts are supplied incorrectly. Far more hassle than its worth

They are genuine parts bought from RPS.
Post by: Dan_FR on March 30, 2019, 10:03:15 pm
If you're using a garage then have them supply the parts
Post by: rich83 on March 30, 2019, 11:09:05 pm
i wasnt asking them to warrant the parts just fit them.
They are genuine parts bought from RPS.
So if something goes wrong who do you blame? You surely must understand their reason for not fitting parts that customers supply.
