Fitting a Quaife LSD (part number QDF16R)
« on: October 06, 2011, 06:42:26 pm »
Guys,

Any idea how many hours labour should be charged for fitting 1 of these?
I assume the part number I listed is correct  :smiley:

cheers,

Justin

Non-DSG, how the hell can there be such a massive price difference?  :confused:
I guess a better question is how many hours would it take?

- incl. gearbox removal or not
- DSG or not

You lucky, manual gearbox is way cheaper than DSG.
So I'd say 300 - 400 just to fit the LSD (change differential)
if you swap the gearbox your self.

300-400 to do the whole job?
I'm not technical, so I'd have no idea whether to remove, add, subtract or divide the gearbox  :signLOL:

Just the fitment of the LSD diff.
To do this the gearbox has to be removed.

No way - you have to ask for this at your shop.

8 hours inc removing and refitting the box. 2-3 for just fitting the diff into the box.

Sorry guys, you're not making any sense, my technical knowledge on this is horrendous!!!
Are you saying that its 2-3 hours if I remove the gearbox myself and give the gearbox to the garage to fit the diff, then I fit the gearbox back again myself??
And 8 hours if they remove the gearbox themselves and fit the diff and return everything to working order?  :confused:

Well if thats the case then its still worthwhile to purchse the diff independantly for around £550 and pay the labour charge on top rather than paying around £1200-£1300 supplied and fitted  :happy2:
That's assumiong you can get a garage who will charge around £50-£60 an hour, or do it at a fixed rate.  :party:
