K03s installation (Price)

[__B3NNY__]

Picked up my K03s wednesday looking to get it fitted in the next couple of weeks. Im gunna havea little look around this afternoon and make a few phonecalls, but was just wondering what sort of range i should be looking at price wise to pay? Or if theres anybody on here that is competent at doing the swap over and would like to earn a few tokens? Im based in oxford but dont mind travling abit to get the work done. Id supply the kit and some oil.

Also is there anything else i need to get bar the fitting kit, oil, and maybe some coolent?

Cheers David.

3-4 hours labour

So going by the average (average being £50 P/H)rate ill be looking at about £200 tops.


Cheers.

make sure you use new crush washers on the oil and coolant pipes and also all new gaskets, dont forget the two gaskets needed for the oil return pipe aswell.

Im gunna get what the fitting kit lists in the sticky section plus oil and coolent. Is there anything else or is all in the list?

Cheers.

I think you may wana get another oil gasket then you can take the oil return pipe off the sump as it may make it easyer to fit the turbo.

Cheers Olly, Do you have a part number to add to the list as im a little unsure what gasket you mean. So oil gasket, oil, coolent, and the K03s fitting kit and thats it? Is it worth buying 5ltrs of oil or will a small bottle be enough?

I can't remember what it is justask the dealer, i think its the same as the other oil one tha is in the kit, i did an oil change at the same time so 5L should be ok them top it up later.
