Default How many hours does it take a good Audi technician to swap a front bumper cover?

I want to know how much real time it takes an Audi tech to take a bumper cover off and put one back on. Thanks,

Tyler

Default 40 minutes for me and I'm not a Audi Tech ;-)

So figure 4 hours minimum for a Tech...and a helper =D

Default Hey Marcus, can you send me an e-mail...

That states how much time it took you to change the bumper cover. The dealer is trying to charge me 2.4 hours at $92.00 an hour. First, I don't think it takes 2.4 hours and second $92.00 an hour?!?!?!? For body work... I don't get it. Thanks,

Tyler

You can easily do this yourself with some handtools, jack and jackstands

Default Concur. Once the well covers are situated...

for access to two fasteners on each side. A total of twelve fastners hold the front bumper cover on. Six above the upper rad support, two at the bottom of the cover and four (two on each side) behind the front section of the well covers.
