Can the motor come out the top on an RS4 Auto? Or do you have to put on a hoist and drop it?

Are there any DIYs for this?

Any one done this that can give some helpful info?

Would really appreciate any help.

I can't believe from the first post asking how to get it out till the second post stating it out only tool 3 hours!!! Every time I've pulled the engine out it's taken a full day, ok I do spend about 4 hours driving to and from the shops for more band aids but still 3 hours is awesome. Which way did you get it out?

It was so easy. LOL My motor mechanic son and his Laurel mate who is MM also helped. Must confes though the top had been stripped to look at the cams. That is when we discovered the exhaust cam had picked up on the head, torn metal off and blocked the oilways. We knew 3 cylinders were stuffed My son found a motor on Monday night, picked it up Tuesday night. Will start swapping all the bits this weekend and have it in by the end of the month..

It is an RS4. The motor came out the top. Took the bonnet off. Only real difficult part was figuring how to get the D/S shaft off/out. There is a lot of stuff just hanging so I hope the boys remember where it all went.

I will get some pics and keep topic alive. Viva la Stagea.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
