That shouldn't be all that hard, but easier said than done of course. ;)

Make a sweet DIY when you get at it Mavada. :)

It would appear so - the pipe unde the PVC valve on the RHD drivers side, based on the photo above on the US RS6 post.
Just be careful 'flexing' the pipe. :audibash:

It's my pet hate , I spend time making sure it's all clean... Esp when doing cv boots and oil seals ... :beerchug:

It's just good mechanical hygiene ...

Grizz, I've only had the car 8 months, there will be plenty more from you, need you to do my gearbox oil. Shame your so far away or I would be over more often.

Agree, my car came back perfect from Unit 20. I've had things not put back right in the past or rushed from other companies, and I can be picky, but everything lined up perfect (important when the front end comes off) and was all new and shiny from Unit 20. :thumbs:

well, that would be a good ''service'', when theyre coming to get your car for servicing/maintenance/repairs and leave the company diesel for the time needed for the maintenance and bring your car back when finished...
