It can be akward but DIY able. it better to remove from underneath which means jacking up or on ramps and getting access that way.

I've replaced mine on my 1.6 petrol model twice.

It's just 3 bolts to remove and then make sure you wire up the same on the connectors.

Mine was tucked in below, but I managed to do it from above as below looked no easier!!
