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?

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.
