Hello Everyone,
Tomorrow I am going to pick up my 2008 3.6L V6 Touareg Black. The engine has done Km 137000. I checked the vehicle history at the local VW dealer: all major services were done in house and the gearbox got replaced (under warranty) in 2011. The car still needs the major service to be done for the Km120000. I got the vehicle checked by my mechanic and he reported the following:
MAJOR REPAIRS
- Both Front Lower Arm bushes (need replacing)
- All Four Shock Absorbers show weakness (advice replacing)
- Disk Brakes too thin (need replacing)
- Bakes Pads (need replacing)
CONSUMABLES
- Window Wipers (front and rear)
- Hood Strut (need replacing)
- Armrest Top Lids damaged (need replacing)
ELECTRONICS
- Door Central Locking Not working from car door control (works fine from the remote)
- Rear RH door window not working
As the vehicle needs to do its major service for the Km120000 I was thinking of getting the MAJOR REPAIRS in the list done at the VW dealer, which will give me 2 years warranty on it. They quoted me £ 1500 for parts and labour. I will maybe have the CONSUMABLES and ELECTRONIC jobs done in a cheaper garage.
What would be your ideas in regard?
I would really appreciate your expert comments.Bow Down
Thank You
P.S.
CAnt WAIT to Go to pick it up tomorrow
Will it be safe to drive with the lower arm bushes almost non existent?
