How long to remove and fit an S2 engine

[Rusty]

I think it depends how much of that plastic crap there is under the bonnet. As I've removed mine I can have just about all of the ancillaries out in an hour or two. If you have to work around all the plastic then indeed 10 hours is a conservative estimate.

Jamo,

I've done it twice and I'd say 10 hours minimum but a lot depends on your facilities, is the car on a hoist or ramps etc. and then there's just no knowing how long some of Audi's design features such as one nicely concealed turbo flange bolt with a specially sized 16mm nut on a m10 stud (which you'd expect to have a 17mm nut as the other 2 are) just so they can squeeze it in will take to undo.

Like lots of things in life, it depends how good your tools are.............

For those that have done it before, how long does it realistically take to remove and refit an engine into an S2?
