Default Re: best tip is

I've heard that but have a few problems with doing that. I live in Germany, The Mech. would cost an Arm and Leg, have to make an appointment, couldn't do it at a Audi service station, etc.. My neighbor has a pit in the garage, so I would have plenty of time. This is about the only thing on the car I haven't found a post for.

Default It's a beotch! ...

I'm a master tech. I tried to do it @ home on ramps. Got my hand stuck between the head and the firewall. Stuck so bad that I had to have a buddy come out and vaseline the back of my wrist with a paintbrush just to get it out. It took about an afternoon and a lot of cursing to gfet the whole job done.

What do you want? With the exchange rate parts are pretty cheap, an RS4 is almost affordable ;-) I live and work in Stuttgart during the week and commute home to southern Germany for the weekends.
