Audi/VW I-5 Engine rebuild TOOL list - What I'd need?

[Jim Haseltine]

I had to rebuild my MB engine because some Monkey Lad wound that bolt up
'tight enough'.
5 pistons @ GBP 80.00 each
1 head @ GBP 570.00 (exchange)
Block & crank machining @ GBP 170.00

I use 450Nm - nothing less.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
