[QUOTE=Chuck33079;3639148. There's just a lot of extra crap packed in there, and you always have to remove 14 other things to get access to the $18 part you have to replace. [/QUOTE]

THIS. I am dealing with this issue right now. I have the most minor coolant leak from a banjo connector on my driver side turbo. The part is literally 60 bucks from the manufacturer ! But to get to it practically requires you to drop the engine. So, I took this as an opportunity to drop a newer engine in, ceramic coat some things, upgrade engine and tranny mounts, along with a new clutch set up, so it's not a complete waste of labor cost. Luckily, my guy hooks me up and is not charging me extra labor to install the upgrades. So yea, a minor issue can turn into a big ordeal #becauseracecar
