The operation times shown in this schedule are invoicing times expressed in hours and hundredths of an hour ; These times correspond to work carried out in accordance with the instructions in the technical documentation ; They are valid for vehicles which have not been modified, normally maintained by the approved repairers , using original replacement parts.
Nominally any operation finishing with the letter A contains all the following operations : removal/refitting, cleaning, replacements etc.and adjustments necessary for the operations to be carried out ; additional notes can be mentioned for information. The operations linked with the initial operation (bleeding, filling with refrigerant, etc.) are identified as an addition.
For bodywork operations, these are incorporated in removal/refitting of detachable components ; This definition corresponds to all threaded, clipped or bonded parts, the removal of which is essential for the bodywork operation to be carried out ; The total time can be broken down into 3 professions, identified by the letters T - S - E permitting any invoicing at different labour rates.
Certain work is given a designation without a repair schedule time (e.g. straightening); invoicing is for the time spent, rounded up to the next tenth of an hour.
The road test or bench test time is not included in the operation times, with the exception of regular maintenance every 50 or 60 000 km, as specified in the servicing sheet.
1. Setting up a repair time schedule operation
1.1. Principal operation - Additional - Supplement
A repair time schedule operation is a so-called "principal" operation which may include other operations (same principal) which in this case will be referred to as "included" and additional operations to this operation referred to as "additions".
Principal operation
Numbering of operations - Former coding | Numbering of operations - New coding | Description |
01001A | 01E8XA | Removal-fitting : Power train |
Including : Operation already included in the principal operation ; This operation is entirely separate. it is in the schedule and may itself comprise various processesExamples of included operations (may differ depending on the type of vehicle and engine)

32002A | 32EX1A | Removing - refitting : Driveshafts |
56025A | 57E47A | Removing - refitting : Battery tray bracket |
Additional : Operation that can be carried out in addition to the principal operation, as removal operations have already been carried out ; The time is added to the time for the principal operation for purposes of invoicingExample of addition (may differ depending on the type of vehicle and engine)

1.2. Content of the repair time schedule
The times come from the timing of the operation carried out by a specialist aftersales technician, from the partial timing that reuses elementary phases that have already been constructed, from standardised units of time for the structure and paint areas, and from horizontal harmonisation for vehicles sold by multiple brands.
To take into account the operational realities, these times are increased by a coefficient making it possible to take into account the difference between the aftersales technician specialist and a general-purpose workshop technician, the difficulty of operations with a raised arms or difficult access position, putting the vehicle in place at the work station, and the application of protection and specific safety instructions.
It is the integration of all the elements in the technical documentation that are included in the operating time in the workshop.
2. Calculating the repair time operation
The overall time for the principal operation is not the sum of the times for the processes included, with additions or supplements carried out separately.
Certain stages of various operations may be common and are counted only once for the purpose of timing.
Example :
These operations have common phases: the provisioning of the vehicle, the lifting and the immobilisation of the vehicle on the ramp, the removal-refitting of the wheels, etc..
Consequently : The time for replacement of the pads, carried out as in addition to the replacement of a brake caliper, is less than the replacement time for brake pads when this operation is carried out on its own, because the common stages already included in thereplacement of the caliper are not counted for.
Therefore one cannot add together operation 1 and operation 2, which would give 2,00 h instead of 1,60 h.
3. Tasks
The different professions are indicated by a letter followed by a digit from 1 to 3 specifying the level the technical difficulty of the operation :
4. Numbering of operations
The numbering of the labour codes is established with 6 characters including a final letter.
The type of operation is specified in its labour code by the final letter :

5. Model code
3 characters (The first character defines the vehicle range).
The list of model codes is indicated on the Model Code menu for each vehicle.
6. Diagnostic
