1) Replace UPPER, LOWER and BYPASS coolant hoses (3 hoses total)

2) Replace the coolant level sensor

2001 VDP.

Thanks,

SirJag

Default How's $600 for all this...

How's $600 (labor only) for all of the following:

1) Replacement of the following hoses:

NCA3945CD Heater feed
NNE3946CA Heater return
MNC6722AB Valve to heater
MNC6721AB Pump to heater

2) Replacement of right camshaft cover; gasket kit, & breather hose

3) Replacement of thermostat and housing

4) Replacement of spark plugs, spark plug tube seals and fuel filter

5) Replacement of rear brake pads and rotors

Seems very reasonable by an indie import mechanic with Jag exp. working for himself... but what do you experts think?

Yep! That's a deal. My boss wouldn't let me do it for that!

Cheers,
