Which of the components mentioned are malfunctioning? This seems like an awfull lot of work on a car with so little mileage. The belt is a recommended change at 96, 000 kilos but even that is not necessary if it looks good. You don't need to change the DI cassette on a routine maintenance. You change it if it fails. If the brakes have never been done, I would imagine it's time to change the rotors, but then again, it depends how they are worn. Why the brake pump? The fuel filter should be changed but why the fuel pump if the car is running? Why the engine mounts; I'll let someone else tackle that one but I am sure it's not a common replacement. Engine ventilation might be necessary if the PCV fix was not done. AC compressor I guess if the AC is not functioning. Why change engine hoses? At that price I hope the oil and air filter changes are included, without forgetting the cabin air filter.
Is there an Indy you can show the car for a second opinion ? I would have fainted if my dealer would have presented me with such an estimate. Either your car is in really bad shape or your dealer is really not trustworthy.
