Good afternoon,
The simple answer is no. I attached the procedure below for you to view for removing it.

Thanks, but that engine is a KIA. A friend VW/Audi mechanic told me you must remove the front.
Are you completely sure? No disrespect.

I just looked up by the VIN you sent, and it listed 2 engines. Both engines have the same procedure.
