Had my Mk5 GTI serviced today and got an advisory for near side intercooler hose seal leaking. Dealer quoted £48 to replace. Not a lot of money but I could do without spending it until pay day at the end of the month. Is this something that needs to be sorted asap or can it wait a couple of weeks?
Also, I'm on time and distance service regime, and I notice they've ticked the box to indicate that long life oil was not used. I thought they used long life oil as a matter of course now?

Seal is £4 and takes less than 10 mins to put car on ramps and replace seal. Sort of thing I do FOC for customers.
£48 is nothing but profiteering.

I've had it done a few times now and cost nowhere near that and like Dave said is often even FOC

Which i can vouch for! :laugh:

Thanks for the replies. The car is going back next week for a paint repair as they managed to scrape my front bumper while they had it. I'll try to get them to do the seal FOC as a goodwill gesture.
Any comment on the use of non-long life oil? I thought they always used long life oil these days despite the service regime?
