It doesnīt matter that thereīs a new system to (un-)stretch the belts, the whole problem is that thereīs absolutely no space at the front end!!
And if you try it from below "well, theres the front axle, the front tranny and a huge load of hydraulic lines that will cause you some trouble!"

The engineīs great, but i already hate workin on it, and i even didnīt work on it, yet!^^
Itīs like you try to change the timing-belt on an old Audi, you have to remove the whole front to do it!
