03 Jetta Glow Plug Issue..need to vent!
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2005 8:27 am
Is $420 a reasonable price to charge to replace 4 glow plugs on an 03 Jetta, plus $140 to read the engine diagnostic code from computer? I did not think so and told them I would do it myself for about $50. I think it is absolutely outrageous and will be not going back to this VW dealership.
And they did not really explain the initial $140 charge just for the code and I plan to contest it when I pick up car, but know I will lose on it.
I only brought it to a dealership because the car was just purchased out of state and they were willing to reimburse me with the understanding this would be a quick and inexspensive fix.
They are going to change timing belt for around $400.
I hate stealerships!
