S8 5.2 V10 exhaust leak/ engine out job how difficult and who?
 
Dear folks,

I have discovered that my Left exhaust outlet pipe basket (flex joint) is leaking significantly, looking at the Audi manual it's an engine-out-of-car job. After a crawl around underneath I fully agree. The bolts are absolutely inaccessible.
I'm looking for a good independent that can take on this sort of job to drop the engine and replace the exhaust pipe. I would hope to replace the Lambda sensors at the same time. Any idea of estimated costs for the actual work would be most appreciated. I'll sort out the parts.
Their is the possibility of fitting a clamp over the leaking basket joint but ... I would value your experience to consider this and comments as to what to do.

Looking forward to any comments.

Thanks
