hi
Had the dreaded m.o.t today at my local stealers (as well as tyres) anyway it failed :sad: had a look with the tech and he showed me reason apparently my osf brake caliper hose was starting to split :laugh: so wasnt happy :huh: anyway its back in on tuesday morn to be replaced (£98.00) :sad: would like bit of advice from anyone please as the last people who needed to unclip the hose were dpm performance (vag specialist) they fitted my jom shocks and springs having looked at what vw showed me there are clips at the lower end of the struts and the nsf one has the brake pad warning light sensor wiring clipped into this which is correct but not used on the osf however vw said that my hose was clipped into that one and because of that the hose has chaffed/starting to split they told me it shouldnt have been put in there! this is second issue i have now had with them as they incorrectly fitted my miltek :laugh: and miltek had to re-fit it any advice on how i would stand with this? as i want to ring him monday? on a plus side least the golf will pass tues :afro:

£98.00 for a brake hose :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

£98 is a lot, you can buy really nice braided ones for less than that.

i got a full set of braided hoses for £50 last year - still need to fit the rear ones mind............. :embarassed:

Aye wasnt happy that includes fitting would do it myself but would have to pay for re-test :sad: m.o.ts free at dealer cause they service the golf :afro:

Does it need bleeding to put new hoses on?
So if you replaced it yourself you'd have to pay for re-test?

So I suppose bleeding the system bumps up the labour charge, they putting new fluid in aswell I take it? Just trying to work out the price...

Thing is if you don't have the work done there you have to pay £50 for another test so you're no better off. Got you by the short and curlies.

Almost sounds to be like they worked out just the right amount, so you'd be shafted no matter what decision you made!

to be fair 98 at a dealers isnt a bad price, cost of a GENUINE part plus half hours labour and retest, dealers are more expensive so dont take the car there for MOT as you know if it fails will cost you more :smiley:
-
They wouldn't re-test after something like that. They'll just tick the box and say yeah she's fine.

maybe but legally the computer is logged on for retest so they cant do another mot so the test station cant be used for another car therefore not getting paid for it
