Its no walk in the park
1.8T is much easier than V6. You start by removing the steering column connection, and following that, you'll need to remove the battery, disconnect the tie rod ends from the steering knuckles, remove the steering rack bolts on the driver's side (12 point 10mm) and loosen the passenger side bolt. Then you remove the banjo bolts from the steering rack, and once its all disconnected, slide it out the driver's side.
