Just got quoted the above price for spark plugs from OPC as part of a service.
Does this sound right?

Probably trying to maintain warranty

Bet most forget to factor in P rip off service prices in the cost of warranty renewal vs saving in a kitty

You have to remove the exhausts on a .2 dfi car hence the cost is the labour...

I think you have to dismantle the car to get at anything in a 991 - all packaged quite tightly.

So I dropped it off today and the OPC confirmed that they remove the rear bar, exhaust boxes, heat shields and exhaust manifolds to get access.
Approx cost of the plugs was £56. The rest was labour.
