Hi, my friend has a T6 2018. its the 102HP highline i believe.

He has just had news from a garage that the turbo ha blown. He has had a quote from an Indy

This seems off to me. price of the turbo seems excessing? 6 hours fitting time? does this sound right or what?

I’d be hacked off at £174 for an oil service, 15-20 mins work in a workshop.

Every single price you've listed there is over inflated. Bin them.

Indeedy. Its normally 0.6hrs, including getting it in and on the lift, but if it's already in the workshop and being worked on 15 or 20 mins is reasonable.

So much for everyone use an inependent because the dealers are a rip off, eh?
