Bill's right.  The RS6 does still offer/require moving things the
"service position" for certain engine repairs, probably including the
timing belt.  It's interesting to note, though, that Audi's factory
service information says that engine removal is required to replace the
four O2 sensors, and it's also required for removal of the right-side
cyl.  head cover, let alone the more hidden bits!  Yikes!

it is called service position, none of the repairs listed require engine
removal, who is working on it? ham fist and his cousin Stupid? it takes
10 minutes for that chassis to move the parts to access the parts listed
to be replaced. BTDT, Bill

WRT the O2 sensors, the service interval for those is dangerously
similar to the timing belt interval, which in order to replace, the
engine also has to come out.

Moral of the story, replace everything that requires engine removal
every 60,000 miles.  At a parts cost of $200 (TB, WP, idler pulley),
$600 (O2 sensors), $200 (starter), etc. etc. etc. and a labor cost of
$2200 (22 hours x $100/hour).  So, probably at least $3500 every 60k.

Awesome.
