And so it begins...allroad transformation
So I started working on the allroad on Sunday and got the engine/tranny out Monday afternoon. It is amazing how fast you can get at doing this when you've done it a couple times 
. This is now my 4th engine/tranny pull on a 2.7T (3 on the S4 and first on the ar). First time it took ~20hours, second took ~10, third ~8, and this time it probably only took about ~5 total working hours. It's a big job but not overly difficult...just a series of MANY small tasks.
Anyway, here are a couple mandatory 'gutted' shots:
After ~1 hour to get into service position (had a stripped bolt to deal with
)
After ~5 hours, everything out:
Plans are as follows and all parts are now in my hands:
01E 6-speed swap with RS4 clutch (fully rebuilt 01E from an A6 - no more ridiculous allroad gearing)
BW K04's
Custom fueling/tune
3" DP's, bipipes, and K04 inlets
RS4 intercoolers
17Z front brake kit and 034 300mm rear brake kit (using B5 S4 calipers)
Full timing belt kit with valve cover gaskets, cam plugs/seals, etc.
Numerous odds and ends (coolant tank, snub mount, motor/tranny mounts, etc., etc.)
If all goes to plan I hope to have the wiring part of the 6sp swap done this week, motor and new tranny mated, and everything sitting in the car by the end of the weekend. Once everything is situated properly and appears correct it will be on to the timing belt job. For some reason I am scared sh!tless about doing the TB after reading horror stories on other forum of people messing something up. I haven't done one before as I had George do my S4 while the engine was out last time...
Now I only have one question...I have a 'used' but in very good condition flywheel. I would still like to get it resurfaced just for piece of mind. Where in town does resurfacing?
