Thanks MJ.
 Is it an easy DIY job to remove and replace it, or should I trundle down to my local Audi indy?

Its easy if you have the front end off. I would say the minimum dismantleage is undertray & bumper off and driver's side headlight out. You may need the front end in service position to get to the bracket bolts though.

Yep, a trip to my local Audi indy is due then. Thanks again. Wish we lived in the south-west!

I was planning to get mine done when the cam belt needed to be changed. But I only had it done 40K miles ago (January 2015) and, IIRC, the interval is 80K or 6 (?) years. I’d also planned to get the tensioners done (after MJ’s warning at the annual meet), but now I’m thinking I ought to bring this all forward.
Any thoughts guys?
