Leaking Thermostat - cheap but good repairers in Melbourne?

[sheppy1982]

Hi, I’m looking for some advice: during a service at VW dealer, they have found my thermostat is leaking and needs replaced (the light came on last week). They quoted $2,300 to fix.

Any recommendations on how much I’d expect to pay elsewhere (non VW dealer) and any recommended repairers in eastern suburbs of Melbourne?

More details on the car will help. I'm guessing its a MK7 of some description. Call me at TTY Euro in Mordialloc. Gavin

Hey did you find an independent to get this done? I've got a 132TSI Tiguan 2017 leaking and am looking for similar repair.
Want to get the thermostat+waterpump done, my local VW quoted $2400 lol (Western Suburbs Melbourne)
