Default que about engine bay size and room to work, all the same?

Hi everyone, i just wanted to know....between an A4, A6, A8 or all-road, in terms of engine bay size and ease to work on engine, are they all the same size? i know my bro's A4 wagon with 4.2, it's pretty tight. If compared to an A6 or A8 lets say, with same engine, is it all the same space in bay or is there more room? thanks

The only ones that really have any really room to work on are the 4 cylinders. The 6 and 8s are simple engine bay hogs. Comes with the territory.. Fortunately they made it pretty easy to remove the front fascia and swing the radiator mounting frame out or forward enough to service the front area on the 6 and 8's..

But, like I said, they're all tight these days. Regardless of manufacturer also..
