I agree with you, although I wasn't in any hurry and did not consider this the onerous task to get over and done, that, say, chasing farts would be.

Next time, not if, but when, I change one, I'll use the "chainsaw" method just to experience it. Maybe on someone else's car. And I'll remove the dash for comfort, as Chris Herbst points out. Maybe that threat, in addition to the yardsale photo, will scare all of mine to silence!

Oddly, I met an Audi owner/enthusiast who tells me an engine hoist is part of the procedure for doing the same job on a Quattro. He says the DIY workaround is also cutting the plenum and resealing with duct tape. I traded my last non-volvo vehicle to him for an LH2.2 green book and a thank you for not having to tow it to the yard.
