Hi Iain,

I don't have any experience with CGT or Coupe Q, nor have I done an engine
swap on my 5k, however, I have heard from several people that taking in/out
the engine from the bottom is very workable on the 4k and 5k Audi's.  I
think someone even wrote up a web page, with pictures, on this, but I cannot
find the link.

Best,
