Default clutch hose: how long in the shop?

just got called by my service writer...they're going to order me a clutch hose. He said it was a 'major job' and I'll have to bring the car back in when the parts arrive. Those who have had it done, how long was your car in the shop?

Default I had what seemed to be excessive free play in the pedal....

...and a 'spongy' feeling when depressing and/or releasing the pedal. Otherwise, there were no problems....no slippage, etc.

Default I wonder how much of that was them waiting for parts.

They told me at least a week to get the part, but the car drives fine so I'll just bring it back in when they're ready.

Default It's only supposed to be a problem with the early RS4s

They made a change in production around the time that the silver was placed on the dash buttons.
