Coil Pack Replacement Cost
Hey guys,
Just wondering what is a reasonable price for coil pack replacement for M177 engine. When it was recently serviced by a euro garage they quoted me $800 AUD per pack (2 coils) + labour. Has anyone had them changed and if so does that seem reasonable?
how much labour is involved in getting them changed. He seemed to be making it out to be a really big deal and a tough task.
appreciate any feedback.

A800 per coil x 4 = A3200 is too high if it doesn’t include labor.

They are very easy to replace yourself though. If you buy the part you just take off your airbox (10 minutes) and unplug the coils, wiggle them out and done.

I have 47k miles on my c63s and soon need to replace my spark plugs. Just wondering when does the coil pack need to be replaced?
Should I just replace both spark plugs and coil pack at the same time?

Nah bit overpriced coils are $640 each at Mercedes (dealer) here in Sydney per unit I just bought two from Mercedes Alexandria.

Don't be afraid of working on your own car. It seems intimidating at first but gets much much easier as you handle small to medium to mebbe bigger projects.
Just take your time, mark everything if needed, and go about doing what has to be done. Be clean, be organized, and you would be surprised what you can do if you take your time.

*****The above is true. People get intimidated a bit by all of the wires and the seeming complexity of the air box, or to get to the spark plugs/coils, etc.. There are definitely much harder cars to work on - our C63s is not that bad for this kind of work overall if you have some ok tools, longer and jointed extensions, and a decent eye for removing parts in order and putting it all back together. Taking pics of before versus digging in to it really can help as well.

Stock air-boxes - once you remove the top portion of the airbox, you can actually leave the bottom portion of the airbox attached via the recirculation hoses (and it just bend it out of the way to access the coilpacks/plugs) - you still need to pop the bottom portion of the airbox off of the holders (idk what they are called)
Coils - wiggle & pull! If you try to pull straight up, you'll have a hell of a time. You can also get some string or a coat hanger and wrap underneath the coil (once you've pulled up a bit) to help get it out. The coil boots are sucked onto the plugs extremely tightly.
Plugs - get a thin-wall spark plug socket. Make sure you have one (or two) pivoting adapters
Fuel Line (drivers side): to remove the rear-most coil pack on the drivers side, you most likely need to unscrew the hard (fuel) line and move it out of the way - make sure you have a rag (or two) to absorb the fuel (not a lot) when undoing the line

I will echo this statement. The plugs on this car are quite easy to change, especially compared to something like an e9x M3 (lol). I've done it a couple of times.
