If you happen to do what I do, you still have the receipt for the work they
did
and charged you for. If so, you can call a dealer now to get an estimate of
the TIME  they charge for replacement of those lines and compare to your
receipt. It MAY be that the dealer that did the work only charged for the
work they did, not for what the VWOA manual states is the time allotted/
recommended for replacement of the entire line system, which would then
include removing the gas tank (more hours = +$$$).
