Hello,
I've got a VW Polo 1.2E, Recently it suffered a misfire on cylinder 3 I was advised to replace coil pack so I did. Then more recently I began misfiring again I took it to VW for a service as it was due and this it what they said:
"carried out compression test
check due to missfire.On all cylinders number 3 cylinder
verry low on compression 05.3 bar should be around 15-16
bar.We reccomend cylinder head removal to check valves
for movement. may require cylinder head overhaul.and
refitted with new gaskets and seals.

Now for all the work the quoted me an astromomical amount of just shy of 12hundred!
Does anyone here know if i'm being ripped off? how long should a job like this take? Does anyone know a trustworthy place around wolverhampton where I could get a second opinion? Is this the best course of action? This is the first time i've come across a problem like this and faced a bill so large...
