AAN Engine swap. S4. Hard? Easy?

[Algernon]

Hi there.
Does anyone know how easy a AAN engine (straight replacement with an existing AAN engine) swap is in an S4?
I'm a qualified mechanic but haven't used spanners in anger for over 15 years.
Longitudinal engines are normally quite easy but any b'stard bits to look out for. Some lumps are easier than others.
Anything that's tricky and gonna cause me grief?
Anyone any experience of doing this?

Exhaust bolts normally expect a good fight and banana spanners are de-rigeur there for access... Limited access to some bellhousing bolts too... Lots of electrical plugs that you need to keep track of. Write off the best part of a day in your life if doing this yourself.

UrS4 is the easier engine to take out in my op.....much more room

You will need a spanner like this for the exhaust /turbo join ....15mm...I heated one and put in vice and bent round with pipe

Oh thats a classy looking spanner Steve!

I always reckon the best tools are the ones uve crafted urself!
