Just wondering how much labor is involved ?
For the part I got charged $ 1,500 Canadian Funds ?
Reasonable ?
Is there an Audi Repair Time Table available for our C5 Rs6's ?
Thanks
Ivan

Hi Ivan!
How have you been?

If we're talking oil supply hose - changing that is a total pain & very likely can't be done without an engine pull. So sounds totally reasonable. Also, there's a risk of ruining a new one by pinching it between turbo and engine block. Ask me how I know...

Best,
Alex-

Did you purchase the car in Everett, WA?

Hi Alex,
Been very busy last Year, Enjoying my new Hip,
and raced in Mosport and Laguna at the Monterey Historics with the Healey.
My car is originally from Ontario.
The shop managed to install the hose just by dropping the transmission and engine a bit.
Had the cats cleaned at same time.
Overall with oil change of tranny and motor it toook them 28 hours.
Did not install Your TCM yet, but shall do soon.
We are having lots of snow here in the Vancouver area at the moment.
Cheers,
Ivan
