Default Camshaft Seal Replacement - Hours charged

Anyone know how many hours Audi is Charging for Camshaft Seal replacement (1 side) in a 97' A8?
I know i want the rest done too, but I am looking at only camshaft seal replacement hours.

Default They should charge 30 minutes, but I bet it's one hour

That's for the cam cover on the back of the engine, the cams in the front where the seal is doesn't leak.

Default I thought you had to tear the whoel front end off...

I helped do this before, and we had to tear the front end off... We were also replacing timing belt also...

do you have the tear the front end off in order to get to the camshaft seals?

Default Why would you replace the camshaft seals?

They never leak? I was referring to the part that does leak on the back of the engine:
