Saxo head gasket

Post by civvie »

I would appreciate a bit of assistance re head gasket on a Saxo Diesel
from maybe someone who works within a Citroen parts dept.
My wife has just had the gasket replaced on this car by a garage (non Citroen) we were charged £89.36 plus vat for the head set, when I queried this I was told the head set costs 58.00 plus vat and the head gasket is another 31.00 odd plus vat, surely the head gasket would come in the head gasket set. This did not include any labour.
I hope I not being done by this garage.
Cheers,
Steve

the head gasket does not normally come in a head set, and if it was a thick metal head gasket then they are expensive.

Sounds about right. Diesel head sets generally don't come with the head gasket.
Citroen price for the head set is £56.48, and £27.72 plus Vat for the modified head gasket.
We would have charged £29.00 and £17.00 respectively.
