You can form your own conclusions.

maybe it was with labour? cable $15 $85 labour i got shaffted

in newcastle ive paid $30, 100 is ridiculous.

I bought one for our Bay years ago for $18

we bought two for my bug last year, $15 each from a local vw/audi parts place.

Are you comparing buy only to buy and install??

Dunno about Kombis but a beetle can be a bitch.

$100 for supply and install aint rip off territory. Aint mates rates either, but aint a rip off

should not be that hard if they are professionals

should know the ins and outs and with a hoist etc 20 mins

$100 sounds good to me cable fitted,
thats about what i would charged, Remember sometimes you can not see the cable for all the oil and dirt.
