C230 engine wiring harness replacement

can any anyone who has had the engine wiring harness replaced on their C230 compressor due to leaking cam shaft solenoids please advise me how many hours their dealers charged, and what dealer did the work.

A dealer in Toronto is telling me it is 9 to 10 hours for replacement of the harness, while some other posts I have read are suggesting about 1/2 of that

Uh.. I think there is a recall on this. You should bring it to the dealership and tell them there is a campaign on this recall item. When they do replace this, they need to check to see if the oil had traveled to the ECU, if so, they have to change that out too. I hope it didn't go that far or it will get pretty expensive.

Do a search and you will find that this is a recall item.
