Emission hoses

[Jackie b]

2002 passat check engine light on and we have to turn over twice before it starts. EVAC and emission. Repair shop said it's going to cost $1000 for the hoses alone. Is this generally the cost of hoses. My goodness.

Hi....welcome to the forum

It could be that some of the hoses are perished but wouldn't cost more than 100 maximum

I would say as it is emission based faults then it would probably just benefit from running some additives in the fuel and give it a thrash up and down a motorway until it runs clear.
The light can then be switched off by clearing the fault codes and at very little cost without expensive replacement of components.
