According to the Porsche, they put the following labor times for a spark plug replacement on a 2001 911 TT.
1.3 In Warantee replacement
1.8 Out of warantee replacement
Usually the labor rates are around $90 and hour, plus parts. I was quoted 250 for the job by my dealer.

Why on earth would they charge differently or need different
time to swap plugs whether on warrentee reasons or not?

I just had my spark plugs replaced and I was charged 5 hours labor. Is this right? Can the dealership charge what they want or are there fixed hours. The above post says the labor is only 1.8 hours. Please advise.

I was told, they have to charge what the computer says, if it takes less time to bad for you, if it takes longer to bad for them.Originally posted by rmrmd1956

5 hours!!! Lord, did they pull the motor??? I can do it in 45 minutes. Pull the bumper, pull the shields and pull the coils. Re install.
In regards to heat range. You will want to update to the 6s, the originals in the 01 were 5's. I also would warn you not to try Platinum +4s. The turbos DO NOT LIKE these!

Also, from doing a search, I have found there is a TSB for 01 Turbos spark plugs. Does anyone know the exact bulletin # for this. I called my dealer and asked, and the service manager was not aware of this. Thanks again.

I've datalogged Upsolute, both at the dyno and on my laptop... the AF/s were spot on for Turbo applications.Originally posted by ebaker

Here's an old dyno of my old Upsolute on stock K16s... you can see the AF:
I'd like to see you change all 6 plugs in 45min.
