AC Compressor
for 2018 Ford Fiesta 1.6L I4 Turbo · FWD
❄️What's included: this time covers the full job — refrigerant recovery, component R&R, evacuation, and recharge. Commercial labor guides list recovery/evac/recharge as a separate operation, so their base time for the same job typically reads 0.5–1.0 hr lower. Diagnosing first? See the A/C gauge playbook →
