MOT Failed Today
« on: 02 October 2009, 10:44 »
my GTi failed today, sooo gutted....

Heres why...

Front windscreen has damage to an area in excess of a 10mm circle within 'a' zone

Nearside rear brake pipe excessively corroded.

Also failed on both front tyres. I knew this would as i'm waiting on my alloys coming.

I'm sooo gutted.

But also quite happy in another case, as the tester, said its the best mk3 gti he has seen in years, with low milage. and in Fantastic condition. including the engine  :smiley:

Anyone know how much a new windscreen will be and how much the brake pipe is going to cost. (its the brake pipe from the rear caliper.) just that section. The rest are fine, just want cleaning up and greasing.

PLz help asap.

thanks guyz

Unsure on cost of brake pipe because my nans mechanic always does mine..

But if you have windscreen cover on your car insurance then you can ring them and tell them you need a new windscreen and you'll have to pay your windscreen excess only. Recently had mine replaced and it cost me 60 quid :)

My golf just failed on to rear brake pipes and a bulb and it cost me £50 to get fixed, most of that made up of labour i thinks!

Windscreen on insurance is normally £50 or £60 (check your policy, some TPFT policies do cover it), brake pipe will be about £30 I would have thought although I always make my own.

If you can't get sceen on your insurance then shop around for a local glass place as they are massivley cheaper than Autoglass, RAC windscreens etc etc.
