dv replacement, help needed

<< < (2/6) > >>

s4lek:
Hi it's a gti.  I've got no chance of putting it on a ramp at home, so best to get it
booked in soon, the part itself is quite resonably priced but the people at Vw really do get away with daylight robbery when it
comes to fitting.  

Janner_Sy:
dont pay anyone to do it in a dealership.  go to a small independent garage and it sholdnt cost any more than £20 to get fitted.  all they have to do is remove the cover from under the engine(2 minutes) and remove and replace the DV(only 3 bolts, just awkward to reach)

on a ramp id say 1/2 hour start to finish, and no more

s4lek:
I've already booked it in at the Vw , so I'll pick the part up instead and get someone independant to do it,
I've also got a pcv (pressure valve ) that needs replacing , Ill probably have a go my self in doing that job as I've been told it fits below the panel filter and takes roughly about 20 minutes.

Thanks for all the info guys, really appreciated.

vRS Carl:
You could do it on Axle Stands (i did mine on a Jack the first time  :signLOL:)

As Sy said it's easy to do just awkward due to its location.

I can do it on Axle Stands in about 30-40mins.

Where are you located?

s4lek:
I'm in Shropshire.  Once I've got the items in hand , I'll make an attempt next weekend
depending on the weather.
