This is exactly why i hate working on Renaults. Absolute pile of crap. Why it could not be designed to have just 2 torx or allen bolts accessible under the bonnet is beyond comprehension. Then i realise its French.
it's all a matter of how you adapt. I personally don't like VW, but I love doing Hyundai, Kia, Honda. Every manufacturer has some solutions that are unfortunately better or worse.
