No idea what mechanics normally charge for that, but i reckon that's a rip off mate. Go get another qoute from someone else.

New coolant change is bugger all. Thermostat wouldn't be more than $50, unless it's like a Nismo item or something. Now for the hose im not sure, but hell a braided line with fittings would only be like $150-$200. So all up i would say around $400 max with labor, depending how they go about changing the turbo coolant line, assuming they take the turbo off it may be a bit more.

But yeah, i still reckon $900 is a rip off, atleast i wouldn't be paying that much.

Hope that helps

YOUR KIDDING !!! Three phone calls man, come on, just three. Competition is a good thing. Make sure you tell those idiots how cheap you got it done.

i used generic straight hose for that rear water feed from the plenum to the hard line that goes behind the head.

as for thermostat - that can be done by yourself if you are willing. remove bottom rad hose - 3 bolts for the housing. then pry out old thermostat - put sealant on new thermo and put bolts back in.

do a search for a the coolant system bleeding process and follow that - there you go, done for half a day and under $100
