If i got stranded anywhere i'm glad it's Tassie as i am hoping to live here soon but my Kombi has prematurally died on me.
I have no mechanical knowlegde what so ever, so i got it towed to the local vw mechanic and he is trying to tell me it will be a $3000 job:puke
Now i'm a single mum traveling with two babies and a dog i couldn't afford that, my Kombi didn't even cost that. I think he is bulls**ting me but i wouldn't know.
If there is anyone down in Hobart who could take a quick look at it for me, i would be forever grateful. Not wanting you to fix it just givew me an unbiased opinon on what is wrong with it.
:cry:cry:cry:cry
I just found out so i'm in shock:duh

Bummer.......
$3000 sounds a bit rich. Sure some aussieveedubbers down Tassie way should be able to point you in the right direction.
Hope it all works out for you.

if its a motor. it would be cheaper to get kombidogs. put it on a ferry and then get a local forum to put it in.....
sounds like a lot unless youve totally stuffed the motor. but then you dhould be able to get a decond handie.

If you are not near Andy give our Tassie Agent a call, number is 0419 554 283. Jeremy is his name and I am sure he will help also.

I got a reco'd donk in my `89 Celica for about $3,500 or something. So somehow I don't think you should be up for $3K for a Kombi engine.
You should rename this thread to
Need Free Head ...... In tassie.
hehe
I'd love to help but have no 1800 stuff.
no 1800 stuff, here either. but will do a ask around...
Simply Cruzin'...
Not only in Tassie !

i havent got any :o sorry
I would move for that !
So who was the mob who did the diagnosis and told her it was a 3k job. Someone to keep clear of in the future?
Squiz....
Who says they were trying to rip her off? That may be what it costs to do it PROPERLY not just a bodge up.

Can anyone in Tassie help?
Greg Cash in Launceston used to be good with helping with parts...but he's not been on here for months....
Ive only got a type one 1200 head but if anybody in Sydney has one, I'd be happy to pick up and help with getting it down there.

Thanks Jen!

One head job for $3000? Pardon the pun....you do the math.
Squiz....

http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=33053&page=1#pid280700
Refer to the post above. If we can all throw in some money towards this then we can get the head.
Andy - can you try and co-ordinate this somehow????
Squiz....
Buggar I merged the two threads n thought I'd lost the lot....Andy it's lost the title you had for the other thread asking for helpers but it's all there
