Good stuff, there are some good independents around who know the cars, have the proper diagnostic gear but don't charge dealer prices.

Did they do a cylinder leakage test?. It could just want valves in head sorting.

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,
