Right thought I'd get stuck in so the whole front of the car is off, it's up in the air and there's only three things stopping me from pulling the engine out.
1. Wiring-am I right in assuming the s3 isn't like a nice modern car with a huge 40 way connector for all the engine wiring, which you disconnect? It looks like I have to undo all the individual plugs I.e. to each injector, each sensor etc. and route them out of the engine? If so what a ball ache!!
2. If I just unbolt the turbo from the manifold is ther enough room for the turbo to stay connected to the downpipe when I pull the engine?
3. The propshaft- now I'm looking at this just a few mm from my nose so it's not the easiest. There are three bolts on each side I think. Do I need to remove all six, or is there a preferred side.
Thanks in advance
