Hi all,
i have a 6 speed manual 2007 VW multivan tdi 4 motion and love it. It's got about 120k on the clock and I just had a major service at Barlow world on Nepean hwy morabbin.
Two things came up :
1. The battery isn't holding its charge well and they wanted 480 for a new battery which I thought was a bit pricy but wanted to check.
2. The big ticket item to come is apparently the power steering pump has engine oil leaking into it and we need to get another one which is about 1800 for the part and another 1200 for labor. No idea here at all if there's any other options that are cheaper. The mechanic said he hadn't seen it before in the 5 years he's been there.
any advice on the above would be welcome, I'm going to do the ring around for a battery myself tomorrow and fit it (presume it's not rocket science to put it in).
cheers
