I'm not even sure if they have the right parts. looks like they are charging me as if these jobs were done separately?
Unfortunatly, it doesn't sound far off from my dealer.
I replaced my coolant pipes myself, and messed up when connecting 2 harness plugs in the back of the intake manifold (the harness' plugs were swapped with each other). I ended up with a no start issue. the dealer charged me $700 of the pleasure of removing the intake manifold and swapping the harness plugs. about a 45 minute job.
Anyway, assuming I hadn't messed up those harness plugs, i had this job done in my driveway in 3 hours. by the time i was done trying to troubleshoot my no start issue, i could have had this job done in under 2 hours. Mind you, mine is a V8.
Back to your quote....maybe its a V6 only part, but Im not sure what LR09299 is. there were only 2 pipes for the V8.
on top of that, you have $200 of gaskets (i reused all of mine) and $60 of coolant ($15 of dexcool from autozone is enough). the dealer would never reuse gaskets or aftermarket coolant though....so its kind of expected.
