• Is this something I can reasonably do myself? It appears just unplugging cables, then plugging new ones in, making sure they're clear of the exhaust and then putting some heat shielding conduit on them. A meter of conduit is a fiver. The cables are 30-40 quid a set. Quotes I've seen on forums for the work are 200-300 including parts at independents and 300+ for dealers. It appears a common thing on 2010 TSI for it affect, in particular, number 3 HT. More recent models had the routing in a different place, tied back with proper heat protection.

  • It is perfectly doable yourself. Just take your time and do one cable at a time. For peace of mind, as you're disconnecting plug leads, it wouldn't hurt to renew spark plugs while you're at it.

  • Am not to sure it is straight forward if it £200 at an independant. Or is my idea of pricing that far out?

    @CYOA Have you looked on the briskoda forum, they have been helpful to me in the past. Have asked on the owners club.
