The timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and labor on my 15 Jetta S was 1700 after taxes as a Euro specialist mechanic in a decent Midwest city. Included 8 hours of labor @ $180
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen
Definitely check local shops. The dealership just quoted my dad 1700 and he went to the local shop he bought his Jetta from. They did the timing belt and water pump for 1350.
I purchased Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 225/40 R18 92Y XL BSW through Discount Tire for my '16 GSW TSI SEL w/DAP & DA. They are a decent tire and aren't as loud on the highway as my previous tires.
these Sumitomo HTR Enhance WX2 have been solid and cheaper than Michelins
Currently running Firehawk Indy 500s on my MK7.. Great grip, little to no road noise, a bit cheaper than the Michelins....
I had the PS4S for 3 summers and just got the G-Max RS this summer. Grip wise they seem to be a little better than the top tier all-seasons, but behind the top tier summers, which I expected. They still feel competent on my Stage 2 car.
I change mine every year. Along with spark plugs and clean my filter’s (have k&N ones you don’t throw those ones)
Daughter just called the shop, and they said they did also have to replace the ABs sensor; and that it alone was about $150. OK, that's the MSRP for a "Genuine VW/Audi" sensor.
I think I went over 60 days without my 2016 Golf R due to a dead battery. A bunch of us had battery issues, I want to say around 2 years, and VW switched production or something. Batteries were out of stock and waiting on new production from Germany.
Wow, out of all the VW horrors I’ve dealt with first hand this is my 4th encounter with this issue. Not your fault, the pan hangs too low when the engine mounts start to wear, rot, or breaks altogether. Sorry for your car broha, wish this was a well known problem so they can pay up for such a exspensive motor. Hopefully all you will need is a gasket and pan.
