can vouch for this as a m8 works for them, and says 90% of work under the bonnet means pulling the engine out

Audi wanted £400 to change the cam belt on my car

the engine dont have to come out but most of the front end has to come off.
I got it done with a few other bits at a friends garage for £200.

it is a design flaw. The reason everything is easy to access on a fiat, ford, or vauxhall is cause its designed to be cheap to run
