[s-cars] Fuel Pump R&R urS6 avant

[JC]

DaveF and I have differing views on this, I think he's laughably moronic 
to go in via the 3rd row.   He thinks I'm so stupid as to be a hazard to 
myself and others for wanting to go in from the 'front' (aka climb in a 
rear door with the seats folded, remove the (5?) semi-hidden screws that 
hold the carpet to the back of the seats, then take out the cargo loop 
on either side.   But srsly both work fine.

Either way once the carpet is up it's all just as you see in most online 
pics except Avant is way significantly better than the 
crawl-in-and-suffocate sedan access.  I of course I do keep both doors 
open as well as the hatch to keep good fresh air flowing through, and 
that way not as much cigarette smoke gets in my eyes as much while I'm 
working.
