After nearly 6 years of ownership the annoying big bill looms for the brake pipe(s?) that connect front to back over the tiptronic transmission.
I don't think the copper pipe(s) are too expensive, but labour is going to see the bill run to £900+ i think.
The ends of the pipe that connect into the front and rear sections of pipework are the bits that have failed the MOT. Can these be cut out at all and replaced? Or the whole pipe swapped in favour of a braided solution that can be threaded above the gearbox without needing to drop it?
I'm happy to get it sorted with the full copper part + dropping gearbox etc. But if there's an alternative that might save some £££ - that may be an option for me.
Cheers
