That job does require dropping the exhaust by the way

That's a very distinctive odour when that seal goes. Main dealer did mine 2 years ago, cost £150 in total, including a brand new 'freebie' A4 s-line as a courtesy car for 3 days. The exhaust definitely comes off, as mine had to have new clamps (from Audi) which is why I had the A4 for 3 days.
I'll try for something larger next time, as the A4, whilst a nice small car, once inside, is quite hard for someone of my stature to squeeze into (contort) - The 8 is tight enough on the door aperture & headroom!

(apologies for the digression)
