Hi John,
We contacted Hyundai direct and the cost of the parts required - assuming nothing else needs to be done of course - is €250 plus VAT of course. Hyundai quotes about nine hours of labour. The actual hourly rate will vary from garage to garage so try to get a fixed quote before you get the work done. With head gaskets there's always the possibility of other work required too, such as skimming the head.
Hope that helps,
