Hi guys,
new member here but been browsing the site a while. i own a A6 C6 with a BRE motor and obviously the hex key drive to the oil pump has gone and blown the turbo too.
For cost reasons i plan to do all the work myself (im pretty handy, ex motorcycle mechanic and superbike crew chief). i have the turbo out no problem and am just looking at getting the balance shaft assy out. question is, do i only need to lower the front subframe meaning i can leave all the linkages attached (i will need to remove the anti-roll bar i think) to get the sump out or do i need to disconnect everything to allow the subframe to drop enough?
i know this sure as hell doesnt look like a job to do on the driveway with axle stands but i dont really have any other option at the minute as im also mid renovation of a property which has absolutely drained the wallet!
