W204 C250 cdi inlet manifold

[R08]

I've had the dreaded bolt come loose/shear from the inlet manifold. It's just rattling around and I have little boost plus eml on too.
I've been quoted locally by a Mercedes specialist to replace the manifold and get the old bolt out.
Parts and labour £993.
Almost seems like main dealer prices.
I'm in North Dorset and wondering if anyone lives fairly locally can do the job for me ?

That's a good price as its labour intensive job, plus you'll need a new manifold too which isn't cheap

So, it turns out there were 2 snapped bolts on the inlet manifold.
The car also failed it's mot on emissions, front discs/pads and a rear brake hose.
I'm picking the car up tomorrow, a trusted local garage has done the work, and including ALL parts and labour to get me through the mot, it will be less than £1000.
If anyone has the manifold issue in the South West of England, I can forward their details.
I think to sort out everything they have been extremely reasonable considering the original quote just for the new manifold from another garage was almost £1000, without the extras.

I need an intake manifold replacement. I've been quoted 1200 by my local indy. I'm in the SW, so I'd be interested to know where you had yours done.

These guys. If you contact them and say i posted about them doing the manifold on my C250 they will know it was from me and sort you out a decent price.
Highly recommend them, they do the work on all of our cars.
