Still good going regardless mate. Fair play
My friends dad did it in 2 hours with no past experience on s3 , he is a mechanic with a ramp. But I was still impressed by that, I think 2-3 hours is fair and going rate especially if there are seized bits to fight with!

Is the dog bone engine mount easy to do when changing the dp and cats? Got a poly bushed one in considering fitting at the same time as my relentless bits.
yup, 2x 16mm bolts into the bottom of the gearbox and 2x 13mm bolts into the front of the subframe, should take about 2 minutes
