1998 306 GTI 6. I have been quoted ?600 inc vat for a new compressor and
the two main pipes including fitting and regas. Is that expensive, is there
a way to fix it for less?

TIA

if the compressor has collapsed internally check for swarf comimg out of the
compressor
in this case the repair normally includes changing all the pipes plus the
condensor and evaporater plus the drier
