DUOVALVE: How long to replace? Dealer says 1.5 hrs
It is in for some other stuff so I said go ahead and do it. Gave me a fair price on the part. BUT -- from what I remember in looking at it -- I can't imagine what could possibly take more than 30 minutes, tops.
What is the "book" or alldata time? |
i have one arriving here today ups. i don't know how many by the book but i will try to let you know when finished. all it really looks like is 2 hoses and one electrical connection. btw... what did you pay for the part?
|
$189.00
|
if you haven't made the purchase yet, consider ******** az at 125.00. with free ground shipping. just showed up ups so i will wait until morning to put it on. i have investigated and it looks like a pretty easy swap.

those arent instructions, that is what the mercedes labor guide gives as what is included in the job for the .8 labor figure. |

Should take no more than 30 minutes on a w124.
you might need a wet rag to clean residue on the inside of the heater hoses...... if your hoses are real clean...it's a good sign of engine coolant that has been replaced on a regular basis. |
it took me a good hour to do on my friends car , you have to remove a lot of crap to get to it and wrestle with a blue million lines and clamps
typical Mercedes.....:silly: |
