I will be doing 722.9 transmission service and 725.0 transmission service within next quarter.
Not looking forward to doing it.

I talked huge about difficult diy on euro performance car forum, and I now own up to my big mouth. Help or at least coach forum members.
Some vehicles in this brand has to do transmission service every 30k.

It will be my 4th time doing 722.9 transmission service (minus torque converter drain), and twice on 725.0.

I have been fighting my 2007 Audi B7 2.0..Burnt exhaust valves..pulled head and sent to shop. Got it back...and running today. Now just got to put it all back together. New injectors, valves, timing chain, timing belt, water pump and a new battery! What a PITA...

Wow, good luck with that too. I envy some who are doing vehicle project.
I wanna do some vehicle projects, but I just don't have enough patience past few years.

Currently, I am regripping 25+ irons, 3 racquetball racquets, and re-shafting 6 irons. (i go through ~1qt of golf grip solvents per quarter)
After that, I am some restoration on 1 vintage golf bag. If that is over, I need to organize/sort some books and encyclopedias I won from local library purchase. (taking library tabs out, clean/erase/delete logos that is worth doing, etc)
If all that is done, I am planning to list all those online after my kid's activities are done.

My house stinks like golf grip solvent right now, but it is not as bad as Hopps solvent.

I am gm master certified ford master cetified and ASE master certified for over 30 years and the internet has taught me I don't know shit. Back yard mechanics with google are the shit im just a dipshit. So today I decided to change oil on my super duty being the dumbass I am figured I should ask the experts if I did it ok. I did it in my shop at home sure hope I didnt mess it up.
