What changes the price

On the Volkswagen Tiguan, access takes on average 10% more time than the average for its class (family car, suv), where the range is £730 – £1,780.

A failed turbo is rarely the only culprit: oil starvation, sludge, air leaks. A serious quote includes a new oil feed pipe and a root-cause check, otherwise the new turbo can fail too.

What is book time?

It is the reference time set for a given job. Garages bill that time even if they work faster. If a quote shows far more hours than book time, ask why. Volkswagen Tiguan: 3.5 – 6.5 h.
