Default 17.4 hours for an engine/transmission assembly in my book.

I'd love to watch that operation.

The 17.4 was from a body shop book, a set of A8 sheets I bought off of eBay as a reference. It at least gave us an "upper bound" on the number, as the 17.4 had more work, assuming the tranny can be removed without removing the engine.

It's great to have a real number! Sorry to hear that you were there. :-(

Default ahh...well, it was audi assured, but did not solve the problem..

I still have the same problem as I did before. the 13.1 hours came from the sheet that I got from the dealer after the "repair."
