Morning All
I have been given a price by my Jaguar technician (on a private basis) to replace my faulty turbo with a reconditioned unit (with the electronic actuator). I was expecting that it would be a simple "rip out & replace" job - just as it is with the EGR - but my chap is quoting me 5 hours of labour to do the job. Has anyone on the forum had the pleasure of replaing a turbo where they know how much of their bill was for the labour element or how many hours this should take.
I will be providing the turbo so he will just take the car and swap out the units and bring her back to me purring once again (i hope).
His fee is £40 per hour so 5 hours will release me of £200 cash - as well as the price of a reconditioned turbo.......Am I being taken for an expensive ride or can this be replaced at a much lower labour cost?
