I replaced it only once - I'm not a professional mechinic to the point where I repair other peoples VWs. It took me about 2 hours start to finish and not bustin; my butt to do it.

What is a fair number of hours to charge for this repair? I'm assuming they'd also have to bleed hydraulic system as well. Should they charge me to diagnose the problem (I pointed out that I thought it was hydraulic related)?
