besides, source the parts yourself and take it to your local garage, theyre always happy for work unlike stealers!
and golfs are amazing, yes i spent 12oo£ on what would of been a major service and started motor but its also the last person who had it that fooked it up, im still paying to get mine sorted but im now at the point where i can replace the parts that will need replacing in the future before they break with better uprated parts

and if your going to question my first service, its because the aircompressor then when, had to pay for breakdown as i didnt have it myself, new tensioners i paid half price coz the garage missed them on the full service

and there were a few other bits that the last idiot did to the car that destroyed a few parts
