To make routine maintenance harder so you give up or never even attempt and just bring it into the dealer to pay their labor fees.

>have to remove exhaust, front subframe and rest of front suspension setup to change clutch

So they can charge you more to fix it for you. It literally takes like half an hour to pull the motor and trans on an american car from the 60s

Engineer in charge doesn't give a shit about how repairable the car is. And his management doesn't give a shit either. They'd rather you buy a new car. Or at least provide the motivation to buy/lease a new one.

>need to remove entire front to change timing belt
T-thanks

This is why I love old Mercedes.

All you hear is muh high maintenance costs

Fuel pump is underneath under a weatherproofing cover. There's two of them and they're readily and easily accessible after lifting one corner of the car.

That's not so bad.
I have to drop the rear axle, take the suspension apart, drop the exhaust, and drop the tank to do mine.
Either that or cut a fucking hole in the body to access the pump from above.

I did a 2009 Corolla clutch, you have to drop the engine and tranny as an assembly and separate them out of the car. Pain in the ass

How many times do you need to change the gas pump though? I can see bitching about a oil filter above the exhaust manifold but c'mon.
