Im doing a project for Comp Sci and i need help coming up with 10 unique jobs that take about 4 or more hours to complete. Just mechanical work though nothing to do with auto body. If anyone can throw out some jobs that would be great.

TIA

Really? I had mine in and out is less than an hour :dunno:

The Alternator on my Audi allroad though :nut: The ENTIRE front clip has to be removed. I did my timing belt 20k kms early, just because I already had the whole front end apart anyways. Audi quotes 7 hours for it
