| Repair Tier | Dealer Price | Specialist Price | What It Involves | Longevity / Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Minor- Preventative Minor | £600 - £900 | £400 - £600 | Oil pump replacement and system flush. | Only viable if caught early before bearing damage occurs. |
Full Replacement- Rebuilt Engine Best Value | £3,500 - £4,500 | £2,000 - £2,800 | Supply and fit of a reconditioned 4ZC1 with upgraded oiling components. | Permanent solution; restores reliability and protects the block. |
