alchresearch   215 #16 Posted September 5, 2012 Good stuff, there are some good independents around who know the cars, have the proper diagnostic gear but don't charge dealer prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It could just want valves in head sorting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest brownd95   #19 Posted September 8, 2012 to be honest i believe they just did a compression test and that was enough. It was a VW specialist. Ive rung round a few places andthey all want to replace every part inside while its open etc  I just havent got £800.  Thanks,  Would you pay for a leakage test as well??  Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
