Merry Christmas from Audi

Alternator change on a D4 A8 4.2 TDI. Front of car off. T shaped sump so it extends beyond the block under the alternator, exhaust manifold above and turbo to the left. Ive had to drill the lugs off the old alternator to get enough mivement to get in behind to disconnect the live and communication wires. Oh, did i mention that it is water cooled as well. And I'm working on my drive in this weather, Seriously FML.
