Not to sound too nasty here but if you are bringing a vehicle to a
professional mechanic for work, especially brake work, that shop should
have the following:

Some experience with the vehicle
The Alldata, Mitchell, or some other program to do a fair estimate and get
some instructions.

Mitchell book says 2.6 hours, deduct .4 if doing with any other brake
combination. Includes bleeding.

I also think this is on the high side.

Are you sure it needs the master? What are the symptoms?

Subject: Replacing the master cylider

My mechanic tells me he needs to take the dash apart to replace the master
cylinder. He has never done a Vanagon before and he does not have it in
front of him right now. He wants to wait until he has allot of time
available before I drop it off.

Is this true, do you need to take the dash apart?

Thanks,
Bryan
