I pay over $600 at the "Porsche" place to get them replaced...perfect. I take them to the VW guy to get them replaced, $20 labor and parts and nada....i know the guy is cheap, this is why "I"want to do them myself. Somebody PLEASE tell me how to clean the ports up (where the seals go) cause the VW guy says that's what is needed and he can't do them real well.

if mike says it can be done with motor in car, then it can, Mike knows his stuff. I have only done it with motor out. I hate laying on my back under the car, dirt falling on me, etc... besides my car is outside, I can bring the motor into my shop and work on the the bench. If you have no other reason to pull the motor, then do it in the car
