Do you really want to pay for their education?

Like all the others have said, cancel the appointment you have with these folks. Find a new mechanic. Otherwise, your repair bills will be helping them advance on the learning curve. The reason that I say this is because "the next thing they want to replace is the fuel pump." Of course they want to replace it, it's the most expensive part with the most amount of labor in the fuel system!
Now, it may be the problem, but others on this thread (whose opinions usually make a ton of sense) have pointed to the DI cassette as a more likely culprit. I would trust them over your mechanic.
And in response to your question about eEuroparts.com, it makes sense the way it is. It requires you to know a little bit--which is a good thing. It will reduce the number of people saying to them "This isn't what I wanted." But to help you know that little bit, the DI cassette goes over the spark plug boots, and provides the electrical charge to make the plugs "spark," so it is part of the "Engine Electrical" system.
And yes, you can replace this part yourself. Undo four bolts on top of the engine, undo the plug at the end, and it should lift right out. You shouldn't get TOO dirty ...
Good luck.
Urby
