Okay so here are some questions for everyone.
I took my a6 2.7t in for timing belt, cv boots, secondary water pump and now new tie rods and stering assembly. Can anyone put an educated estimate on how many hours of labor this is for each part. THis will just help me so I go an idea before I go pay for this. A nice 2K repair before the holidays fun [:@].

Timing Belt
CV boots
Secondary Water Pump
Tie rods

 

Timing belt 6-8.
Cv boots 1.5-2.5 per side.
Secondary water pump around 4.5.
Tie rods are 2 for both sides plus about 150 bucks for alignment. They should always be replaced in pairs.
If by steering assembly you mean the rack expect 6-10 hours. Youll also need an alignment with a rack. However if the tie rods are done at the same time there should be no additional labor for the tie rods because they have to be removed to get the rack out.

 

Hey thanks for the reply, I have actually sent the shop a ton of business so they are doing $3,200 for $2,000 flat and installing aftermarket parts. If you need to see a shop in San Francisco go to Advanced Audi.
