2 injector clamp bolts snapped in hole, 2010 Mercedes E350 3.0 V6 . What should I try ?

Are they likely to drill the entire bolt out or will they botch it up like my mate did with short oversized bolts etc

How much approximately do you think I would be charged to have them do this ?

The threads are that deep for a reason , so to do the job properly whats left in the hole needs to come out of the hole.

RE pricing , without doing a proper assessment of damage caused and the best best way to effect a repair, which may mean removing the head, it would be impossible to even make a guesstimate as there are too many variables - hourly rate / parts / machining / transport costs etc.

Is there any news on this epic saga?

I hope the OP reached a satisfactory conclusion. But I must admit it is a interesting cautionary tale of trying to save money by DIYing, and the results of that
