Had another today.
VAG dealer diagnosis of a rattle = DMF+clutch = 4figure estimate
My diagnosis... heat shield screws missing and resting on the exhaust = replaced+overcharged at £10 = coming back next week for cam-belt change
instead of going back to VAG

That's borderline criminal IMO (and not the £10 which seems reasonable compared to about 7min of main dealer mechanic time - and they'd
likely have put on £20 for the screws.)

Go to VAG Home
I would take a complaint to VAG themselves....
If the dealer is padding estimates for customers they are likely padding warranty work as well. Might get them investigated.
Porche US has a reputation of sending test cars into dealers then dumpster diving for the used parts supposedly changed out. More than one dealer has
lost his franchise via this tactic.

These things are a classic - I actually found Ford the worst with SWMBOs last car. Among other things they were always claiming brake discs were
needed - they soon shut up when you ask for measurements and minimum thicknesses. The service manager got tongue tied when he stated that he was just
informing me that the discs were wearing down. My response contained the words "sherlock" "no" and "shit".

Remember speaking to a mechanic at a Ford main dealers and he said on the old 2.8 V6 Ford engine the tappets had to be reset at a certain interval,
but if the car came in and they sounded ok they never even touched them
I'd guess its pretty common place with main dealers and that's why its better to find a decent independent
Had an MG once that was almost new and the PDI must have been done by a 3 year old
I listed a ruck of issues to MG themselves and it went to another dealer and they had it for a week...
