Well done on taking that on and getting it done ! I have a 2003 a6 with the 3.0 AVK.engine code for both cats is on and a rattling sound on the gas. It looks like I will be doing it soon,and also the nose end oil seal that you replaced. On filling the Center differential with oil I think it’s supposed to be 8 mm below the level of the fill plug hole. Thanks for making a great video!
Im working on mine right now, I ended up purchasing an engine support bar and a 13mm flex head wrench worked well for that top driverside nut. Im taking my time on it, replacing a cv joint and trans mount along the way
Glad to hear the video helps. I bought the Bosal exhaust system from Rock Auto. I just searched and it looks like they carry different brands now. The car and exhaust system still runs great 4 years later. Best of luck!
If I include the time to place the car up high on jack stands, prep the back engine mount, disconnect the drive shaft & exhaust, and loosen the front mount bolts, I would say that was one long day around 8 hrs. Now I'm not a pro so I don't have the instant knowledge of tool size and technique, so surely the pros can do this in just a couple hours. The actual lowering was just a few minutes of very slow releases. I hope this helps.

Invaluable resource. Thank you.
Thank you. What a job! I have a passat . After watching this. I dont want it anymore!
I'm feeling the same way too.
@@Superhyperaktive Might be worth trying to save the car from the junkyard.
me too
Just a four year update guys. The Passat is still running strong and one of my favorites to drive! The effort was well worth it. Best of Luck!
I like your fishing rods.
Yeah, if I could only find more time to use them :-) Thanks!

Thanks for the comments Keith. Best of luck with your A6 cat change. Maybe one day I’ll own an A6. Love the style!

Glad to hear you are taking on the job yourself Snoopy. Best of luck and enjoy the extended life of your Passat!
thanks, you made my job easier!!!!!
Glad to hear that Misael!
Did you do both sides Misael
Snoopy I do not remember but i think i did and the passenger side was a little easier if im not mistaken.
Great video, thank you! I’m going to need to do this soon. Did you use an oem exhaust system or aftermarket?

How long did it take you to lower the engine?
