Most engineers are less concerned with service accessibility than other engineering priorities, thus the difficulty in performing certain procedures. For example, locating the oil filter at the top of the engine should have been a no-brainer from day one. Computer-designed cars, wonderful as they are to conceive and design, also allow their designers to successfully package more parts into a smaller space than before.
Many parts are very accessible on the assembly line, that is until the vehicle reaches the next assembly station.
Anyone every change the rear bank of spark plugs on a transverse V-6? Wonderful. I think they must have developed the 100,000 mile spark plug specifically for these cars.
