Halfrauds autocentre failed my tdi 130 ibiza on 2 wiperblades, offside cv nearside cv and both antiroll bar links. They say they want 370 pound for the work. This is shocking! How much should the work cost? And can I actually trust the diagnosis or have they just made up issues? It doesn't drive too bad considering the guy said my cv boot was leaking grease. Please help guys
mot help im being ripped off!
- Thread starter smokeydominic
- Start date
areo wipers - 7 pounds of ebay (work fine on my car)
CV - paid 150 including part on old ibiza mk3
Not sure on anti roll
Tried to rip by brother of the other week on a broken belt pulley on his fabia VRS, wanted 270 to fix, he told them were to stick it and left to fit a new one himself, suggest you tell them were to go also
They try to rip everyone of, complete clueless idiots working in all those centres.

mine failed last year on a split cv boot.
garage wanted £100 to do it.
i bought the part for around a tenner and spent about an hour fitting it my self.
wiper blades are pennies
and can they even fail it on droplinks? although theyre only about a tenner a side and take minutes to fit

yes people have assumed CV BOOT, but it reads like the CV joints have failed? an all together more expensive job.
I know I was a fool but it ran out today and they were the only ones that had a slot this afternoon. Ive now been quoted for 200 inc the price of a re test. I can't do it myself unfortunately I don't have access to a ramp and I live on a main road so can't do it on there either. The mot slip just said constant velocity gaitor deteriorated to such an extent it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (both sides) and both ofside and nearside front anti roll bar has excessive play in a pin/ bush...
So it would seem that you need 2 CV boots (gaitors), 2 wiper blades and 2 drop links. You could do this work yourself with parts off of ebay/internet for about £50. A good garage that doesn't rip people off would probably charge about £150 to £200 I would think.
I know these parts are not for your car but you get the idea on price. gaitor/boot drop link wipers
Only basic tools are needed to fit these parts like spanners, sockets and a hammer to tap the drop links free. Youtube will give you very good how to guides. The only tool you will need for safety is an axel stand so that the car isn't being held up on a widow maker jack whilst you work on it. axel stand
