I had mine replaced last week .I used the Autolite .I am quite good at Mechanical repairs bit i decided to have it done for me It was a 3.0 hour labor job and they charged me $249.00. I did not use the Dealership as I have a great Garage that Repairs anything European and Excotic.
Hope this helps.
John.

I did my own last month. Was a bit of a long job but if you mark or just remember where everything goes it's ok. You will need to remove: the airbox, the throttle body and manifold. The only tough job was undoing the three bolts on the back of the manifold. It's one of those fingers only jobs cause your hand gets stuck in the 1 inch gap. I f you're quite confident with changing your oil, filter etc you might as well take a day and give it a shot, save you plenty cash.
