[V8] Audi tool 2084

[too many quattros]

i too have never used the starter method.  scares me.  i put the car in 1st
(manny tranny), usually loading the trans as best as i can, yank the parking
break as hard as i can and crank away.  i can usually get it mostly torqued.
i then use the breaker bar and a helper to hold it.  easy breezy.
