rip off

[doberman19]

 

 Having recently made purchases from a VW dealer, I'm beginning to feel that the prices of late are so high that we must be being ripped off. A few examples from my own experience, A top  timing chain cover gasket £30,
A MAFF sensor £173, an inlet manifold £480, has anyone else had any wide eyed moments while trying to keep their GTI up to date. or is it just me being out of step with prices.

Intake manifold £275 from the USA is the only recent purchase that I know about in your list. Bought an OEM  spray can kit and that was cheaper at the dealer than elsewhere. Think it depends what you are buying.
