List of things to repair from garage - what can wait?
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 3:55 pm
Hi guys,
I recently bought a 10-year old Fabia 1.4 8V with ~100K miles. The car has no obvious issues when driving both in town and on main roads, but I've only done ~100 miles and am planning to take it for a ~400 mile trip soon. This morning I have taken it to my local independent garage that specialises in VAGs and they've just rung me back giving a list of things that they advise doing.
I would very much appreciate your advice on what I should go ahead with as first priority, what can wait and on what I might want to get a second opinion. Thanks a lot!
1) Rear break shoes and cylinders need replacement
2) Front suspension bushes warn
3) Water pump leakage
4) Ignition coil going down
5) Front break discs & pads warn (in line with a recent MOT advisory)
Thanks very much for your help!
