Cracked plastic sump - OM651 - C207 2013 facelift

[Graphicman]

Hi I have a 2013 facelift C207 - e class coupe.

The plastic sump is cracked and needs replacing which I understand means either lift the engine or drop the subframe to get at the bolts. Any idea of labour times / costs for this? It has been temp sealed with JB weld but as I plan to keep the car for a while it really needs doing properly.

Also the car on its original clutch at 78k so in light of the above wondering if its worth combining the 2 jobs and what the likely labour saving would be.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

78K ? does this engine have oil filled engine mounts ? If so you may as well do them at the same time as you will have to unbolt them to drop the subframe.

Not sure if there is a need to remove the transmission when replacing the sump , but the car will be in the air ....so 'while you are in there...' kicks in.
