honest its a new piezo injector, if you have a v6 o V8 audi its gonna get expensive.
unlike old injectors they can fail open and hydraulic lock the engine, hence the ecu shuts its down as soon as it think there a fault. people have been in the 3 rd lane of the motoway and the car just shuts down.
no brakes, no power steering etc. its frightening

I do believe you - I'm just disappointed that the cost of a new injector must be far, far more than what's charged to the manufacturer.

Lowbank, sounds like a ripe target for a Trading Standards sting. It would serve them right, as they're ripping off punters and giving garages a bad name.

I agree, dont know why anyone would buy a VW now.
your right just live too close to them if they found out who grassed on them.
I have decided to go back yo cars I can work on.
Got my TD4 and got a spare engine for 120 quid including all ancilleries.
Just need one for the other half to replace the MGTF in winter, keep thr tf for summer
