Title: How much is a cam follower change at JKM Portsmouth?
Post by: homesqueeze on February 02, 2014, 09:50:59 am
Heard good things about JKM on here. Just wondered if anyone knows how much they charge for a cam follower change? Mine is an 05 GTI with the extra pipe if that makes a difference.

enquiries@jkm.org.uk would be the most sensible place to ask.

I would say 1/2 hour labour plus the price of the follower.

Cheers guys. Yeah in all likelihood it's probably ok. However I just thought that it's at that age now that if it was only fairly cheap it might be a good precaution. I wouldn't risk doing it myself as I know I would break the car!!  :laugh:

^^^ Cheers, I have read the guides. Still probably won't risk it though, I always end up making a balls up of things. Also I have the more complicated banjo bolt fixing as well which everyone says is a pig to do.
