Timing belt Proceedure

[Beatty, Robert]

I havent done the timeing belt on a 20v, but as its a similar configuration
as the 5k tq which i have done, removing the bumper just makes life alot
easier.  It can be done without bumper removal, but for those of us that are
not professional wrenches, it makes life a bit easier (not that anything
about a timing belt change is easy).

The proceedure listed on the 20V web page indicates
the need to remove the from bumper in order to change
the timing belt.  I contacted and Audi shop and even
asked the local PEP boys and they all said the job
lists at 2.5 hours and does not require the removal of
the bumper.  What gives?????
