Title: 1.2 Corsa head gasket
Post by: Andy B on 02 December 2018, 13:06:47

How much would we reckon for a head gasket replacement on a 1200 Corsa? The daughter of a lad at work has been quoted £700 & £500 For the job. Does anyone know how many hours it should take? 1st quote seems a bit high though I suppose £500 isn't too bad ....  :-\

I'm sure there were some guys doing this mobile for around £350, they carried spare refurbed heads with them

SWMBO's 2002 Galaxy TDi (so really a VW Golf oil burner) has just had a new head gasket fitted.

I was quoted £700 - haven't had the invoice yet though.....
