Guess The Repair Bill Game

[DaveM]

My 98 2.8V6 ghia x deserved a bit of TLC

I've had it since it was 6 months old

only 70k on the clock

body work immaculate

 

So just for bit of fun, see who can guess the total repair bill for this little lot

 

4 new Dunlop SP2020 215,55,R16 tyres

2 CV joints

2 new roll bar drop links

2 new ABS sensors and rings

new air con compressor

receiver dryer unit

pressure switch

re-gas

 

a bit of a clue, if i'd of crashed the car, the insurance company would of written it off !

Glad you've got your car sorted and its as good as new, what about my repair bill.

 

My Alhambra has been in at a Seat dealers for 6 days now whilst they try to sort out an overboost problem.

 

Fortunately for me its still under warranty, but what would the labour cost of that be ?

Six days sat at dealers? I reckon

[Emily's dad]

Apparently my car was hooked up to Seat diagnostics for a total of 16 hours and some of that time directly to Seat HQ in Milton Keynes. What it actually cost I don't know as it was done under warranty

 

When I was handed the keys back it was running fine, but I wasn't told exactly what they had done. The suggestion made to me was that I need to drive the car further and harder to stop the carbon build up on the turbo charger.

 

I suggested that I shouldn't have to drive my car further or harder, as when I bought the car no one at Seat said, this car is rubbish if you only do short journeys.

 

Anyway I've solved the problem once and for all. Half an hour after getting the car back I part exchanged it for a Mazda 5. No more reliability problems for me.
