Audi R8 V10 Engine and fuel tank removal

Another time lapse I filmed at work. This time a delivery mileage R8 who had a little friend living inside sometime in the last 5 years! Someone had a decent stab at fixing it, but the fuel pump wiring had been chewed to bits. To get to this wiring, the fuel tanks needed to come out. To get those out, the engine has to be removed! The following was filmed over roughly 40 hours during the last couple of months (awaiting authority to repair and for back ordered fuel tank link pipes that had been chewed)
On a side note, when the car is run up on the ramp, it had already been warmed up and checked over to make sure there were no major issues.

I’m ashamed to admit how much $$$$$ I’ve thrown away if I could’ve done my own work the past couple decades vs paying others..

I've heard its apparently the way the cars fuel system uses the injectors, but have also heard it could be something like a timing chain, or something to that effect? would you by any chance be able to provide your thoughts?
