Intercooler change s3 8p/mk5??
« on: December 19, 2011, 10:05:13 am »
Started stripping my s3 down yesterday to take engine and gearbox out, got as far as front end off it with cooler/a.c and rad dangling, how many hours does a "pro" charge for to change the cooler? I was expecting bumper off/cooler off......a lot harder than i expected!! So much sh*t to remove before you even get to them. Cheers, Stevie.

Around 3-4 hours for a cooler.

Did you find the how-to ok?

Thats quick, took me 4hrs just to get the cooler off without putting everything back together. Yeah got it thanks couldnt have done it without it and the write up that i found on here. Spot on.  Engine out next and that is definately not one for me!  :happy2:
