Vw Passat Break Calliper
I got into my Passat this morning only to find there was no pressure on my break peddle and a message on the panel saying dont drive hydraulics oil problem.. looked around the car and found by my rear nr side wheel a pool of oil. anyway to cut a long story short. i got it to the garage, my brake calliper seal has gone and i need a replacement. costing £376 because its one with the hand break motor on. My questions are ..as ive recently started towing a caravan with this car, could that have caused the calliper to break.. I have only towed for around 300 miles and the caravan is within the allowed weights. also is £376 a resonable price for changing a calliper..

That's around 2 hours labour at a main dealer or about 4 hours at a local independent garage. (I couldn't see my local guy taking much more than a hour, or two at the very most, for the job).
