Hi OzAuto,
Before you post about it, yes I have an old European car that costs 6 billion to service and repair.
Recently took my car in for a service and got the following quote on what needs to be fixed in addition
Replace brake fluid & coolant $242.88
Supply & fit water feed line at side of cyl head part only $118.00 labour charge $88.00

The car is a 2003 C200K. Are the above reasonable figures for the work?
Hoses, rubber mounts, perishables on an old Merc. Probably all need replacing at 20 years.
As for the price, what were you expecting, charity?
