iv been advised its an engine out job - that looks like just the subframe - any advice appreciated - 2017 model T5 biturbo auto

Just had it changed on mine ,A garage charged me 15 hours labour , Is This correct ?

[@uldisbetons8776]

It looks like too much! But it already depends on a lot. They were hardly guided by any standard working hours provided by the manufacturer.

Thanks
So it must be taken out from below?
I have a 4wheel drive version and I can see you had to remove a lot to get it out

[@uldisbetons8776]

The T5 with 4 motion to replace the Biturbo turbo is even more fun. Personally, I haven't changed. But the process, I guess, was very similar.
