cost

How much more expensive is it to run a Big turbo car over a standard equivelent? In the ideal world where the conversion has been carried out to a high standard, on a 50k ish mile car (ibiza mk4/polo), running a IHI at 320 bhp and 470nm, how likely is it to bend/break rods, valves (or other...

Hi guys, This is a common problem by the looks of it! My rear washer has stopped squirting water, although there is no leakage in the boot (or anywhere else I can see.) I've seen guides on how to take off the boot trim using a Torx 20, but I'm wondering how much it would cost at a Seat...

Some advice please. 20 days after the warranty ran out on my 06 plate Altea I was driving along the motorway and tried to lower the front passenger window when it went bang and stopped only three inches down. I can hear the motor moving but it's obviously become detatched from the mechanism. The...

Had my heart set on getting a bluefin remap, however this will add another £200 ontop of my insurance. Is £600 (400 remap 200 insurance) worth the extra 40bhp? This is with bell insurance, does anyone have any recomendations for a mod friendly insurer? (im 23 with leon fr tfsi)

Does anyone on here care to elberate on the rough costs for a full hybrid treatment? Uprated clutch fitted by myself. Uprated turbo possibly fitted by myself. Uprated FMIC fitted by myself. Any thing else apart from another remap?

i got hit from behind last week by an MG, just 5 chips damage done to the paint on the rear bumper of my Leon fr mk1, black. a quote for full bumper respray is £340. is this about right? its not me paying tho :-)

Hi guys, Ive just had my car in local VAG specialist for brakes bleeding and thought i'd get a price for clutch and DMF fitted, I was quoted £225 labour, (i supply the parts) Does this sound alright? If possible, people who have had theirs replaced reply where and how much they paid...

Today I spoke to a company that refurb and upgrade turbos and they reckon that they can refurb the K04 Cupra turbo and include a new thrust bearing for better reliability and shorten the shaft and modify the fins for better spool and top end power through ability to run slightly higher boost...

Does anyone Know how much the little triangle window near the wing mirror is likely to cost.mine got smashed and don't fancy getting ripped of tommorow when I go to the Stealers. thanks gareth

It certainly pays to shop around. I was quoted "about £210" for the 1st service on my Leon FR170 from a reputable SEAT dealer in Huddersfield (incidently, where i got the car from). Thinking it a bit steep, I phoned Ted Johnson's in Barnsley and boy am i glad i did!! Just paid £101 and a few...

Just wondering if anyone else has fitted a Synergy PD tuning box. The guy has been well known as a tuner of Rover/BMW diesel engines for some time but has just released a product suitable for VAG diesels as well. As it comes with a 30 day return if not delighted policy I recently got one & so...

Hi chaps! Long story short. Diagnostic light came on yesterday and my OBDII lead has gone missing (probably during a house move!) So the garage came up with 4 codes, 1 of which was linked to me detaching the battery to reset the ECU, which worked for 20 or so miles, then it came back) But...

yep, you guessed it, already saving for going BT next year what is the accurate cost of it all? speaking with Bill, I would be looking with going for a GT2871, which as I understand it will offer up 350-400bhp (400bhp max I take it) or GT30 is needed for more, but the advantage of GT2871...

99 T plate, 1.9 TDi Vario Estate Just quoted £148 to replace front discs and pads - is this the going rate, cheap or expensive? Not really got anywhere to do it myself and it is getting bl**dy cold so as long as not too excessive will be going for this.

Hi all, apolgies, Im not on here much, just dont have the time. Got the Leon serviced yesterday, its an 06 Stylance DSG 2.0 tdi The basic service parts Im not fussed about their cost, but I needed a front wheel bearing, and the part ws £145 ! Now im used to £20 wheel bearing kits on...

How much roughly does all the interior alluminium trim normally cost fitted? Also what does it involve ie how many parts piece types are there or what do they actually cover? cheers

I just asked my stealer to do my Leon's first MoT while it's in for some other work next week, and I was told it would be £55!!! Now either the stealer is making a pretty markup on this or the cost of MoTs has gone up a fair bit since last time I had one! Is this normal??

Hi, Just wondering if people could tell me roughly how much their Cupra costs them to run for an average month? Bit of a random question but im going to be buying one soon and would like to know how much im going to be spending on it, one thats been nicely looked after. Thanks
