Need Help: Cost of replacing intake manifold gaskets and hoses.

[Guest bennyy]

Hi everyone, I need some advice from the seniors here on the estimated cost of replacing the engine intake manifold hose (the breather hose is apparently leaking as advised by the mechanic).

Can someone please kindly advise me on the usual cost for doing such a repair work? I have been quoted $450 by the workshop (about $300 labour and $150 parts) to repair the leaking hose.

Btw, this is for a C180K (W204).

Thanks very much everyone!

Thanks! Certainly looking forward to joining one of the gatherings at Kallang and get to know everyone better

Can anyone advise me if the quote I've received is reasonable? Really need some advice from the seniors here. Can also PM if not convenient to post here. Cheers.

Appreciate if anyone who have changed their manifold intake hoses and gaskets kindly advise me if the repair charges are reasonable. 1st time encountering this problem and really need some advise to avoid over-paying for the repair. Btw, the quote is from one of the more reputable workshops here (not C&C of course).
