Just had a local private mechanic install a new exhaust on an engine that had at least 1 broken stud. He removed and welded a couple other support bits during the job. Replaced the oxy sensor with new. Installed all new fuel lines and covered them with the old outside protective plastic shrouds. I supplied the new exhaust kit and fuel line kit but nothing else. He picked up the oxy sensor and replacement studs as well as a few other gaskets and bolts. Total bill - $330 including additional parts and shop. I like Westside VW, but this was a lot cheaper for 10 hours of work. He is in the Minneapolis metro if anyone is interested. Contact me at the shown email address. tom K0TAR |
