If you're in Derby that about 45 minutes to @CRS Performance in Cannock for the springs
Big service quote, am I being ripped off?

You would think so. Are the new guidelines applicable to older T6’s like mine?
Sounds a bargain, not sure if anyone could match that.
Yes

Had the following done over the last 2 years at VW Liverpool commercial.
EGR and coolant about £600.
Belt and service £1100
Clutch and service £1400.
Prices seem right to me to what I paid. Mines a 16 plate Euro 5 on 60k if that's any help to you. I didn't know any other indies and don't really trust little garages as I've not really had any decent cars for years so I decided to make sure I got a bit of piece of mind (insurance) by going to the dealers especially with EGR and belt problems on these vans.

It could just be a hose leaking, if I took my van in for a normal service and was given a 3k quote I’d say, Ill be back in 3 months, don’t be worried about saying not today thanks, that’s way above my budget at the moment.
Get the work done as and when you have the time and funds.

Thanks for the replies @Green Giant & @JDC . Need what needs doing sharpish as got a Europe trip planned end of May, but equally don’t want to be ripped off and be forking out £3K.
Think I’ll ring around some garages first thing to see if I can get anything cheaper.

Agreed, don't go trekking round Europe with a coolant leak - that's asking for trouble, but £806 for a new radiator and coolant is an absolute rip off.
I can get a new radiator for my T6 for £380 and it'd be a couple of hours of my time to fit it.

(That's for my T6, might not fit yours.)

I went through 3 x rear coils on my T6 (T30) over 40k miles.
Finally replaced with KYB heavy duty items - total cost including fitting was £330.00 at a local garage.
Hope this helps

Yes it’s definitely something that needs sorting, but believe it is abit steep quote. I told them to leave that for now, been trying to get quotes all morning to compare.Agreed, don't go trekking round Europe with a coolant leak - that's asking for trouble, but £806 for a new radiator and coolant is an absolute rip off.

Just put my reg in on your link and saying £280.
Thanks for that. I spoke to a local garage this morning, although he couldn’t give me an accurate quote, he said roughly £60 per spring and 1-2 hours labour. Probably similar to your price.
I’ve told the service garage to leave it for now.
Book time is 1.0hrs to replace both.
