just had a load of work done at local indy vag garage in woodbury:
Head Gasket
Head pressure tested and skimmed
valves and guides replaced
new valves ground
cambelt + tensioners
water pump
thermostat
basic service
new michelin tyre
all four wheels re-balanced
£450
coilovers fitted for another £80-100 next month
bargain i think
now booked in volkscraft for remap, car should be nice for a while
(i hope lol)
Seems suspiciously cheap to me.
Headgasket set is ~60quid
Head rebuild, with new valves and guides etc will typically cost around £200-250 and garages will usually farm that work out as they dont have the required equipment.
Cambelt kit is around 70quid
Waterpump ~30
Stat ~10
Oil and filter could probably be done for 15quid if they happened to have a big drum of the right oil sitting there.
Tyre has to be best part of £100
So in parts alone your already over £450

Very cheap, if all done correctly well done!
my agu head just cost me £400 to get reworked alone, and a headset with tensioners, bolts, etc £160 oils, coolant, £60
how long have they had it?

Stage 0.25 S3, as Audi intended it, except with a little wear and tear. And a few extras
forgot to mention 2 new glow plugs aswell lol, tyre was part worn not new. I have absolutely no doubt that all the work has been done properly, we seem to get a good deal, my step dads business is next door and he does quite a lot of work on our cars
original quote for cambelt kit fitted was £180
next best price ive been quoted for fitting the coilovers is £160
quite rare to find a decent garage thats cheap so im well happy, to be fair was expecting the bill to be at least double what it was
