Engine Mechanical problem
2005 Volkswagen Jetta Front Wheel Drive Manual 70,000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I've got a TDI
anyhow, the glow plug was being replaced by my normally wonderful mechanic. The glow plug broke when he was removing it and it fell into the diesel engine. So I had to pay for the cylinder head to be removed to retrieve the piece.
Plus, I just had a 70,000 tune-up 3 weeks ago and because of this new problem the oil and everything was changed again. Is it my responsibility to pay for all that?
thank you!

Well, he didn't put it there - it's been there since I bought the car new.
With also replacing the shocks (which is the reason I took it in to begin with and also that my glow plug light had come on), the total bill was over $1200.
I'm not sure why I didn't dissect the costs when he charged me. I think I had sticker shock, plus, I've always trusted him and assumed he wouldn't charge me if not necessary. But I'm thinking of protesting the $500+ labor charge for the engine.
Opinion please...

I bought the car new in 2005. Recently the glow plug had to be replaced. He went to pull it out and it broke off into the engine. I had to pay.
thanks for your correspondance about this....
