Anyone here know the amount of time it (usually) takes to pull the 2.7T motor from the S4? in hours?

 

not sure on hours - but heres a quick write up if
dont allready have one

link

 

I dealer book calls for it to be a 30hr labor charge

 

hey that's cool link..i plan on taking mines apart my self....i was wondering if theres a link on how to get the turbos out....and installing new KO3's or KO4's

 

most places, for example, tuners, not dealers, estimate about 17 hours for engine pull and new turbo install

 

It took me 6 hours to pull the motor in my 2001. I've replaced the turbos, downpipes, clutch, timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and some various other small parts. That all took another 7-8 hours, and I just put the motor back into the car today and hooked everything up in 4 hours. Still need to put the front end back on and put the larger intercoolers, so I got some work ahead. This, of course, is with access to a lift, power tools, and being somewhat mechanically inclined.

FYI, I've only every worked on Chevy motors, mostly older vehicles with a lot less going on under the hood than the S4. So the 30 hour dealer estimate is bs, the 17 hours that most tuning shops are quoting is more accurate.
