Hi,

That is really based on which freeze plug is leaking. Removing or lifting the engine is somewhat involved. I realize that most Audi shop manual repairs begin with, step 1, remove the engine. LOL If it is in an area where a few things can be removed to access it, that is what I would do. If it is behind the engine, that is a different situation. Removal is extensive, lifting to access is a bit easier. If you can access the leak by simply removing a few components, that is the direction I would go.

Let me know approx where the leak is located so I can better direct you.

Take care,
Joe

Happy to help. Have you had the chance to inspect the leak? Is it possible for you to take a pic of the bad plug and upload it for me to see?

Let me know.
