I am back to the RS6 as my daily drive so I have put this off too long.
Anyone have any input on the process of replacing this Oil Cooler Pipe. I have 138000 miles on my original.

Yes I have read several pages like that. Anyone do it on an RS6 without pulling the engine? I'm at a point of preventive maintenance. Due for timing belt so I figured it could be done at that setting. I ordered the metal pipe from Ebay today.
I had the oil pan seal down when my CV boots were replaced on one side. The transmission seal was replaced about 3 years ago. We checked the level and it was fine in the transmission but the fluid has not been changed? maybe never?

Use this to search in Google, site:rs6.com bufkin pipe engine in. If you get a spam/porn page on a link then just go back then forward and it should go to rs6.com.
I dropped by Broadway Auto, they did me right! Fixed up an SAI leaking line in an hour easy. Seem to know their stuff. Thanks!
I remember a few tutorials on swapping the pipe with engine in...

Cool, I'll be driving through Albany on Thursday, heading to Boston.

It can be done without 'removing' the engine yes. You do need to have the front clip in service position, as that is the only way you can remove the alternator. Once you remove the alternator, you can support the engine and remove the passenger side engine mount to create enough room to remove the bolts. I would suggest you also lower the engine a nominal 2-3" while bolted up to the engine cradle (requires support from above or below after you remove the half frame bolts), in order to get additional access to the bolts.

Cool, it will not be a DIY, but I want to get an idea of the time needed so I don't get over charged. Do you think Audi has a standard hour number for this replacement?
I figure I will have it done with the timing belt. I have to check my records but I think it's getting close to time. Scratch that, the timing belt was changed at 127,000 miles.

I would hesitate to guess that a dealer would add a nominal 2-3 hours min to a standard timing belt service to undertake this work.

I agree with Bigglezworth on this, from the service position and with the engine supported. I did mine a few years ago when I had the engine out but I just so happen to have mine in the service position right now and after looking at it I think it could be done without too much more work like he said, drop the right side mount, remove alternator. After that there should be plenty of room. Hoping to have my engine out tonight, just got off work. 6 speed here I come.
