Hi guys, just a quick question regarding the removal of my tiptronic gear box.
Dose the engine need to be completely removed from the car to remove the box or could I get away with just lowering it to gain acess to the gearbox bolts?
I will be removing the box next week so it can be refurbished after an ATF cooler pipe burst and starved the box of fluid!

Any tips greatly appreciated.
