Could be but I expect they are just quoting you the book rate (Mitchell's). They will probably do the job in 30 minutes.  This is how shops make a profit.


crikey. ill ring the main dealer in the mornin. their rate is double what the other place but if they only want an hour then that will be better. the part is off them anyway. thanks mate!

It depends on the vehicle, mate. Please follow the instructions and post your info every time. Thanks.

 


i could list every model with a 1.4 tsi engine, the rough estimate would be the same. thanks anyway.


I have no idea what a 1.4 tsi is. And most people here (95% from N.America) don't either.
But now that you've mentioned it's a Skoda, I know I can leave this question for our Euro members to answer 🙂 The global market matters too. The more information you can provide, the better answer you will get.


skoda are owned by VW and share engines. the mk2 fabia vrs is basically the same car as the VW polo gti that was available in america at the time. im pretty sure tsi engines are an option on VW cars wherever they are sold.


Please provide your vehicle details when posting a question here. Simple request. Thank you.


to anyone who could possible answer my question by knowing what a tsi engine is, that information would be useless. thank you.


It's not useless. The same engine in one vehicle, can take hours more to work on in another depending how it's laid out. If you were so sure of what is needed or isn't, you wouldn't be here asking. Instead of arguing, you could just take the two extra seconds to type it out. When you ask someone to volunteer their free time for you, then it's wise to respect their simple wishes. The instructions were provided to you right on posting page, so that you knew what to expect 🙂
