culshaw 1 Posted September 10, 2009 I just got a phone call from local garage about the parts corroded/wrong with my car the parts i can remember are as follows: Both rear axle bushes (split or corroded can't remember what she said) Fuel filter corroded Front brake hoses corroded (maybe rear as well) Front gasket leak (i think that's what she said) Front discs & pads Front o/side caliper seized Front & rear brake compensators.. Can someone give me a clue of how much this will set me back if i did it myself? (Put in drivetrain because most is drivetrain) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StuartFZR400 0 Posted September 10, 2009 I just got a phone call from local garage about the parts corroded/wrong with my car the parts i can remember are as follows: 1. Both rear axle bushes (split or corroded can't remember what she said) 2. Fuel filter corroded 3. Front brake hoses corroded (maybe rear as well) 4. Front gasket leak (i think that's what she said) 5. Front discs & pads 6. Front o/side caliper seized 7. Front & rear brake compensators.. Can someone give me a clue of how much this will set me back if i did it myself? (Put in drivetrain because most is drivetrain) Could try phoning VW for some quotes for parts, for thier Servicing dept. But from memory prices from GSF about 4 years ago were: 1. expensive considering labour, 2. see Wiki for How to, cost £15, 3. normal hoses circa £40, 4. ?, 5. Discs £60, pads £40 for pairs on front, 6. Re-con caliper circa £60, 7. £? Thats starting at £200 just to do the brakes, let alone the axle bushes and fuel filter. And assuming you've the tools. But yes, quite normal work for a Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StuartFZR400 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Let us know if you get stuck; most of that is doable DIY. (see Forum wiki and Haynes for Passat if its teh 9A) Yes hose is displaying its innards - get new one. Sounds like you'll become on first name basis with your local VAG then. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
