Hey everyone, I got a couple of parts that I need installed on my 2011 TDI, its got a dsg, 155k kilometrers and a stage 1 unitronic ecu. The parts I got are a timing kit which includes a waterpump, an AC compressor because mine is suspected to have seized after the dealer's diagnosis, and an EGR valve (not sure if I need to buy an EGR cooler). A mechanic here in Mississauga, is asking for 1200 to install all of them and he claims that the job takes 20+ hours, is there any truth to this? Does anybody know a relaible And affordable mechanic in the GTA?

Those are my estimates, they are not from the repair book. Also not sure that the consideration for 'already in there'.

Example:

Water pump - 4 hours
Though when doing timing belt, it just an extra hour to do the pump...

Depends how the math was done and how close my estimate is. Though there is an estimate book that states time (that someone may post).

Check out "Amin at Salims". They mostly work on VWs and have a very loyal customer base. I bought a 2000 jetta tdi from him and he does all my service. Just got a 2011 golf wagon tdi and he will do all the service on it as well. Ask for Amin. They are located near the Beaches. Lakeshore and Coxwell area. 416 463-5464.
