The pump let go in my 2013 316 a few months ago at around 8000 hours. Local dealer pulled the pump and said it didn’t look that bad and there wasn’t much metal in the oil. Pulled the control valve cleaned it and reinstalled it. Installed new pump flushed and cleaned the tank. Started it up and everything works except one side of the travel. Check the control valve and the spool is stuck. My question is can someone tell me about how many hours it should take a Cat shop mechanic to do those tasks. Specifically removing and installing the control valve and then disassembling, inspecting, and assembling it. The bill they gave me almost made me fall out. I knew it wouldn’t be cheap but I just don’t believe it is even close to being fair. TIA
