Replace coolant thermostat on '06 mini cooper, approx cost?

rickyjb · 2015-04-28 09:40:37

As the title says what would be the approx cost for this work? The part doesn't seem to be that expensive. I'm assuming the quote my gf has been given includes the housing as well. I know it's a pretty common fault on mini coopers so hopefully someone has come across the same issue recently. Thanks in advance.

Dunno about a mini, but mine went recently and the quote was part+1hr labour+2 ltrs of coolant, unless yours is particularly awkward I can't imagine it being much different!

I ended up fitting it myself, part was €80 and an hrs labour would normally be €50ish plus 2 ltrs of coolant so about €150ish.......
Sorry that's all a bit vague.

Nah that's grand. Was quoted 240 from a main dealer so I guess it's not a million miles away. Cheers.
