My parents told me that I need to. 900 for a tune up is not unheard of. The engines are installed in such a way that they must be "dropped" in order for the mechanic to access everything. I own a 2000 Passat. I had to replace my entire drivers side blinker housing about 6 months ago. 135.

Virgina Beach V.A. and back home to Chicago all the while that 16 year old, severely beaten VW carried me through 4 mountain ranges, across the plains states at 90mph for 48 stopping only for fuel, snacks and restroom breaks.
