Question
what is the typical charge to replace the thermostat in this vehicle??

Answer
The labor rate differs from shop to shop,dealerships vary as well.Most shops use the flat rate manual for times on repairing vehicles.On this car it would be 1.5 hours flate rate.Some shops charge you by the hour,so if they are unfamiliar with the car I wouldn't go there.The thermostat I am not sure of the cost of that part.Call Bavarian Autosports (1-800-535-2002) for the parts
