Hi guys,
My 2005 B6 S4 is going under the knife this weekend for the timing components change. I feel confident about most parts of this job, but never having done it before, there’s always something new to learn.
I’m doing this job alone, with my wife as my able assistant. We’re both in our upper 40’s, and haven’t hit the gym in a while. I’m an IT guy who flies a computer all day at work. Let’s just say that we don’t have superhero strength. ;D
That being said, I’ve owned 3 Audis(B5 A4, B6 A4, B6 S4) and have performed almost every type of maintenance and repair that you can think of, from many bouts with the dreaded pinch bolt, power steering racks, suspension/control arms, and I even managed to get my downpipes out to do piggies(a job, I might add, that I will never tackle again without a lift!)
Anyway, on justincredible’s advice, I’m making this thread to learn how to safely separate/re-mate the Tiptronic transmission to the engine. I have a 2 ton engine hoist.
badger accomplished this on his recent timing components job, but didn’t really say how he dealt with the transmission.
Any advice/suggestions/pics will be very much appreciated!
