Engine Mechanical problem
2006 Volkswagen GTI 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual +100K miles
Sirs,
I am getting my car serviced as we speak. It all started when my engine was making this high pitched whistling noise. The mechanic said he replaced the:
timing belt
water pump
krank field
camshaft field
tensioner for timing belt
idler for timing belt
17 valve
coolant
entire clutch
He is charging me $1,400
Keep in mind the warranty was over after 50K miles and I had never had the car serviced and it has +101K miles. I only change the oil whenever it was due.
is $1,400 sound right to you?
he said it would easily be $2,000 at the dealership.
This guy changed my brakes for $160 before. And they work just fine.
