Re: 20V 5cyl Audi Motor replaces a 944 engine?

Amen to that!  I thought Audis were tough....the Porsches are MUCH harder
and everything seems so inaccessable.  And this is a 944 I am talking about.
The 911's....FORGET IT!  Practically have to pull the motor out of the car
to change the plugs!!!!!

Later,
Dan
