C230 Ignition coil replacement
I have a 1998 C230 that needs a new ignition coil. I see the part is about $50. Is it very hard to replace this? I saw the mechanic do this several years ago and it didn't seem too complicated. Also, should I get a new spark plug connector as well?
Thanks for any tips!

Are you sure that is what you need? I have heard of the connectors (wires) going bad but I don't recall much about the coils going bad. I don't think it is too hard. I think it is mainly the same procedure as changing the plugs, as far as getting to the area where the coils are. There are 3 coils I believe.
