kobi 0 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Need sum advice plz.Vince @ stealth has quoted me £200 for a full service (all inc)Seems ok to me. VW is about £290 ish. Is it worth goin to VW to keep the service book full VW?Also Stealth quoted me £115 for Magnecor leads. This seemed high to me. He said he'd fit them at the time of service so no need for labour charge.However i dont believe the leads cost this much in the first place? ?! :? Also Supersprint exhaust £390 + vat plus £40 fitting - ok or not?BMC induction Kit £155 + vat.Any advice/opinions as to whether these prices are ok? Merci Link to post Share on other sites
six appeal 53 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Did you get him to take off your VR6oc discount too mate?Always found Vince at Stealth very reasonable and I wouldn't trust my VR with many other people especially all my local stealerships as they have all given me grief over the years!

acf8181 0 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 nah, not worth keeping the vw stamps, a stamp from anywhere will do.i can't see magnecor leads being worth it over standard vw ones, that cost £100. thought you only recently got leads though kobi?if you want somewhere more local, try tony at automotive solutions in sonning on 01189 699903, though he's moving workshops at the mo so is hard to track down (i know, i owe him money and can't get hold of him!)

dubloke 4 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 i paid £105 for my magnecors 2 years ago from demon tweaks and have been splendid so far, match my blue samco's now too! Link to post Share on other sites
kobi 0 Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Simon - DISCOUNT??! Er no i didnt mention a discount for VR6OC. But trust me i will be calling him mentioning it!! Everyone has spoken highly of stealth so i've no problems with using them.Will probably end up using the Magnecor ones as it will be easier to have them done whilst the car is being serviced - Andy the leads werent too bad so i have not changed them since.Also jst had the BMW in at the Synters Stealership - Oil change & MOT - £209!
