OK, I double checked this. It's actually 2.9 hours by the book. I polled
all the Audi techs in the shop, some of whom have been working on Audis
since before there WAS a 5000. All said that even with all the tricks they
know (i.e. not disconnecting the heater hoses and vacuum hoses and only
pulling the airbox up enough to access the fan) and to a man (and they are
all men) they said they knew of no way anyone could do this job in
substantially less than an hour. I'm guessing that STEADIRIC must be one of
those "Audi Gods" y'all keep talking about...
