it's not too difficult, but it's time consuming...probably a full day job if you've never done it before....the snub mount is a polyurethane bushing that keeps driveline shock down...check out ecstuning.com, they have an "ultimate" tb kit...

It's actually not that bad of a job as long as you have some no how of wrenching on cars. Did mine last weekend with a buddy of mine. it can be done solo, but having a buddy there helps pass the time. it took us about 6.5 hrs to get it done. 7.5 if you count prep and cleanup. getting things apart is actually not very difficult and once your staring at the timing belt. it's not bad from there, just mark the old belt and count the teeth. probably sounds silly but it helps. www.ecstuning.com is where i bought my kit from. i bought the ultimate kit and two containers of pentosin g12, about $350 shipped for everything. www.audiworld.com has two very helpful writeups on doing the job which is what we used. as far as a manual, i have a mitchells cd for audi's but i only used it for torque specs, the writeups had more info in them. once it's done, just follow the coolant bleeding procedure.
