Currently, I do not have a garage, a hoist or a jack so I am thinking that it is probably save me that much in bitchin' and cursing if I try to do it myself.
Yeah I'd pay 260 just to save me time right now. Too many cars!
I literally got under the car without jacking it at all and removed the cover plate. I'm skinny af. Will put it on jack stands though when doing the whole job. That's a pretty good quote.
Good to know. Does the engine sump look easy to remove once the transmission cover plate is removed?Quote:

Yeah $260 is a very good quote, my brother's mechanic in Melbourne quoted me $484 to service the auto transmission, so I got him to just top it up for the ferry trip.
I am of reasonably slight build and I have always found working under my Golf CL a challenge, I have just bought a pair of stands which will make working under the Golf and the Vento much more comfortable.
When I did the oil and filter change I just drove up some wooden blocks, maybe 10cm thick or so, was enough to do the job.Quote:

Not a very long list.
