My father took his '87 Westy into a local foreign repair shop to repair a leaking wheel cylinder and trouble shoot and repair a rough idle only when cold and for a very brief time. After seven days in the shop and $759.00 later he recived his van. Yes the brakes were much improved but I found out that the mechanic replaced both the idle stabelizer control unit and the water temp sensor in his effort to remedey what I believe may have been a minor problem. He charged for six hours labor, seemed a bit high. Could replacing these parts be the solution? I have lost faith in this gentleman and wish to hear any thoughts from this learned group. Thanks
