Going Rate for Golf 7 Gti (2014) water pump + thermostat replacement

[synergyx]

Hi Guys

Always feel like the shops are out to screw us who dont know much the underside of our bonnets.

cars out of warranty now - and this will be my 4th water pump replacement (1st outside of dealer)
(another reason this car has left a bad taste in my mouth - almost 2 years on the dot and cooling system needs repairs)

being quoted just over 10K for parts and labour? is this about right?

thanks.

saw in another post that it is around 12k.

I can do it for around R6500 all in.

Aftermarket parts but decent quality. R10 and over seems excessive to me.

Vw/audi... Going rate is about 7/8k complete with everything required...this is for parts only.

Stick to OEM parts.

I did mine at the agents a few years back and was around 8k with OEM parts. 10k sounds excessive even with inflation....
