What's happened? Big bill? Don't know if it's much different to the 1.8 8v? But I did timing belt and water pump on mine in about 45 minutes I think. Matrix you just stick a hose pipe into it don't you? Testing stat takes ten minutes in a pan of water, testing fan could take ten seconds, depending what they were testing.

Maybe 2-3 hours garage time at most? Don't know.
