   price for a power steering pump?(price for a new one)
   price to sort out throtte body.
   
   the garage rang me today about the GTi i was meant to buy.
   
   saying they dont want to sell me the car as it will cost too much to fix
   the guy said the price to get the throttle body fixed was too high etc.
   
   When the engine is running the revs are sitting at 2 and a half btw.
   can anyone get me a rough estimate of these bits to fix??
   
   
   IF ANYONE CAN POST SOME LINKS OF WHERE ILL GET THE PARTS PLEASE DO
   thanks

   LOL.
   
   why dosent he just sell you it for a lower price then?
   
   sounds like trying to fob you off.
   
   dodgey idle could be a few things, e.g. a dirty ICV which could take minutes to fix.
   
   Id ask how he figured out that the TB was fucked, if it is.. you can pick up one off here for the best part of £30.
   
   A "brand new" power steeing pump is abit extreme, and could cost you abit i imagine, you could pick up a perfectly good, fully functioning one from here or the gti forum for again around 30-40 quid.
   
   get more info out the garage.
