Earlier fuel filter use to cost Rs 1800 odd, now it is costing Rs 1100 odd. But now a days they are fitting Fuel filter without water level sensor & over flow sensor. It is kind of poor cost cutting measure IMO.

your brake pad is costing Rs 1400 approx, for me they charged Rs 1700 approx.

One more observation:They have charged you for one brake pad while they have mentioned labour charges for both sides.

@tdcarlover, which part replacement they have advised? I have changed front suspension bush & Right front drive shaft recently of my Manza.

They have suggested a change of the suspension bush
I am not sure whether to change this or the whole thing-which is
~3500 for 1[confused]
Had a drop in power and mileage-did all sorts of things as suggested by myTVS (EGR part changed,exhaust cleaned, all filters and oils changed) power better than before but still sluggish and mileage has picked up from ~13 overall to ~15-was getting 17.
They say thats what a 5yr old TDi would give-does that sound right;my car pals say-leave well alone!-spent so much could have driven 6500 k more at the same mileage!

TASS Suggested to change the Strut.

Each Strut costs 3.5K, So totally 7K for parts and labour + Alignment may come 1,500 I guess. So totally we can expect between 8-9K for strut change + Alignment.

Noticed a nice looking seat belt-was that original with the car? Mine seem to have lost spring and dont go back to resting position v easily?
Was that a chiller box between the front seats?
