On a car with a standard heating system it¥s about 2,5 to 3 hours work to change it, first time i did it it took me 1 hour to get the old one out and 2,5 hours to get the new one in, but that was on a car with ACC. The pricing on a new one is not so nice, about 120 £ (some 2000 swedish kr). But I would still recommend a new original part, as it is much better quality than the non originals that can be found. /Mats
