Estimates on output shaft seal replacement.
So after getting my a8 back on the road and sorted for the mot (except the fuel pump) today was the day. Turned up at the mot station and put her on the ramp. 10 minutes later the mechanic comes out and says "whats on fire" had smoke pouring from the cat so was obviously refused. I knew it was leaking but i didnt think it was that bad. So what prices has everyome been charged to get theres replaced? Can anyome recomened anybody in the stockport area? I may end up selling yet, £1000 anyone?

Think HPSauce had his done this week or last - hopefully will be able to say what the bill was, although it'll be with South East loading on labour rates!

BUT I had both the rear and drivers side leaking and the pan. AND I had the fluid & filter changed as well, which requires removing the exhaust/catalysts on an FL D2 S8. Also had the middle and rear diffs topped up as they are seeping very slightly (not enough to bother fixing, just top up). Loadsa labour so loadsamoney.  The seals were cheap enough, one was £12.44 the other £22.41 (+VAT). And you might need the gearbox topping up, that's about £12 a litre. Hour or 2 of labour maybe to get one wheel off, do whatever you need to to the drive shaft to replace the seal and put it all back, then check and top up the gearbox - I'm no expert!

You do really need someone who is familiar with the construction of the car.
 I think I'm paying about £60/hr plus VAT for labour and they're a VAG specialist with all the tools and knowledge.
