I took my car to the dealership because my oil had just gushed out and the brakes were very hard to push. so my car was absolutely not drivable. I’ve had a ticking noise in my engine since i got the car FROM the dealership in December of last year that hadn’t caused any problems other than it being loud. The dealership said my Vacuum pump needs replaced because it isn’t working properly, AND that my entire engine need’s replaced as well due to the ticking nose! they’re telling me it will be $17k for the engine and installation. My dad and i think that is an outrageous price. I have a 2011 VW Touareg TDi at about 185k miles. My car is in great shape other than that- I’m getting a second opinion from a small mechanic shop soon. But am i right in thinking that price is outrageous? or is that average-
