Hi all, I'm after some repair advice.

I've got a 2017 F32 420i (B48) with a coolant leak in the pipe going from the coolant tank to cylinder head. I've got extended warranty but coolant and fuel hoses are in the exclusions so not covered.

Main dealer near me (Bishops Stortford) wants to charge £1500 to replace the pipe. Anyone have any idea if I'd be getting ripped off here? I'm assuming this is majority labour costs.

I've heard main dealers charge ~£250 per hour for labour (meaning this job would equate to ~6 hrs work?) but this just word of mouth. My only other comparison so far is an independent german car specialist who won't quote for the job without first having a look, but they charge for labour £75 per hour (but could potentially take longer).

Any advice welcome. Thanks
