Default EBCM fitting

The EBCM ordered from the dealer has arraived and they want to book the car in for THREE DAYS to fit it.

I think this is a bit too long considering they will charge me for all of 18 labour.

Anyone any idea how long it should take for a dealership to install one?

To swap out a EBCM should take more then 30 min, but there obviously more then just swapping out the actual unit...maybe they have to run diagnostics or some other crap. When I sent mine off to absfixer to get fixed I had mine out in about 20 min and when it came back had it in about 15 min later...

If they are just doing the EBCM then it shouldn't take more than 1 to 1 1/2 hours. I took mine off a few years ago to have it fixed and being cautious I had it off in 45 min. Sent it in to be fixed and got it back in 5 days. Installed it in 20 min.

Take off the air bridge and then only 6 TORX head screws and thats it.

3 day's??
