from a main dealer that is. any ideas on cost?

would i need a full fluid change on an 05 sti or would bleed and top up be fine?

Think my local dealer charged me about one hour's labour to fit.
But they gave me a discount for other work that was being done at the time.


Replaced all fluid as they drained it when the lines were off, brought my own fluid though(Motul) from stockcar.
Only a few quid for brakefluid so best to go fresh and moisture free

think you did well out of that mate my dealer wants double that and to be honest 1/2 hour a corner doesn't sound ridiculous to me.

agree with the full fluid change thinking about it, cost wise it's a no brainer!

cheers

I'd say two hours labour wouldn't be unreasonable - each corner needs two possibly seized nuts that need to be very carefully freed, the line needs to be unthreaded from the suspension strut, then the new stuff needs putting on and the bleeding done. It's an annoying job that's no fun at all.
