Wouldnt take two days mate!  check out the thread on uk mkivs,  if you had everything you needed for your k03s , gaskets, water lines etc etc, and it all went ok, could do both of them in a day easy!

With correct tools and ramp it could take as little as 4hours

ramp is the biggest help, it's a pain in the arse (literally) if you just have axle stands
