Hi i have a 2004 vw golf fsi its leaking coolant and i got quoted $1038.50 to have it fixed 3 hoses are broken as anyone else had this kind of problem?
What exactly did they quote you? The plastic housing in the back of the head are known to leak. Are they quoting you the housing, hoses, thermostat, coolant and labor along with the diagnosis?
Well, if what I read is correct and removal of the intake is necessary, I’m assuming there may be a charge to replace the intake gasket as well. Without knowing exactly which hoses are being replaced and what parts in addition to the hoses on top of the vehicle being a VW it is not at all surprising that the repair is around a 1,000.00. An itemized quote would be helpful. Good luck to you.Well, if what I read is correct and removal of the intake is necessary, I’m assuming there may be a charge to replace the intake gasket as well.

Most definitely check what all is included in the quote and very specifically what they determined to be faulty before making the quote.. It never hurts to get a second quote from a different shop.
