it's in the back so you need to remove the engine to do the TB service

I didn't know that this motor creeped up to 5.2L.

Darn, that motor should be making 520 HP with port fuel injection, and 560+ HP with FSI. I quess the current 450 HP rating leaves lots of room for future "upgrades".

I noticed that the water pump appears to be gear driven, not belt driven.......

It will probably take the AC system to be disconnected, the front end taken off, etc. just to change
