If so, one more reason why I consider the boxer to be a ridiculous design. I also wonder at the lack of a fuel tank drain if it does not have one.
As for the OP's question, yeah, if they have to drop the fuel tank and unbolt the engine in order to do the work, I can see it costing that much easy at dealer rates.

You don't have to remove the engine. Just remove the header and unbolt the 4 bolts on the engine mounts and then jack it up about 4 inches. But you can actually do it without even raising the engine but the "official" way says to raise it. I wouldn't be surprised if the dealers do it without raising the engine but still bill it out as if they did.
