Doing mine too this weekend (finally).
I can see it now as I'm wheeled into A&E with black fingers:
"Another frostbite victim doctor!" cries the unattractive nurse.
"What were you thinking?" the overworked SHO enquires.
"I was doing a simple 2.0TFSI cam follower change."
"Ahh the old TFSI achilles heel. I actually changed the one in my S3 just last week. However I wore a pair of Mechanix gloves and carried out the work in my heated double garage. I was actually sweating!", he laughs.
"I can't afforded a heated garage."
"Obviously I could send it to my Audi dealer, but I like to work on my own cars as it helps with my surgical skills. The dealer also mentioned that cam followers weren't an issue with these cars."
"I can't even afford V-Power anymore."
"You're running on 95? Nasty! Funnily enough I get a lot of VW owners saying the same thing, with the exception of my wife. She's waiting for the Mk7 R. I'm not a VW fan myself though - I hate the way they use pig iron for the brakes and wishbones. Really messes with the handling."
"People say that Audi's are uninvolving and joyless though." I retort.
"Have you driven one?"
"Umm..no. Anyway what's the prognosis?"
"Not bad - we'll only have to amputate the forefinger and thumb. You'll be fine to drive after 6 months or so, as long as you don't have DSG?"
I am speechless.
"Nurse!"
