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.

Valle Shell in Orillia is replacing Pokey's clutch slave cylinder (I
provided the part). 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)?
