Need some advice

[Kaan]

Hi all. I've the usual problem with the TFSI Jetta. Exhaust warning light came up 2 days ago. I took her to the dealer to find out what was wrong with the car. They came up with the $1200 dollar solution. Here is the list;

Turbo Recirculation Valve $130
Rocker Cover Pressure Regulator Valve $174
Intake Manifold Changeover valve $537
Labour $330


Now, are these prices normal and do I have any cheaper option because $1200 is a lot of money for some valves. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

It seems odd to me that 3 valves would all die at the same time unless the failure of one causes the failure of the others.

It's almost as if they have done a scan & are changing components based on the fault codes rather than how the items bench test. (ie: a physical fault in one component can cause a fault code in another functioning component).

2nd opinion from an independant?

Not yet. To be honest, I don't know any independent workshop that looks after VW in western suburbs
