I have a pre-facelift 3.0 diesel, but haven' had to service or replace this. I've changed plenty of other items (suspension, filters, interior, etc.) and retrofit various factory options (PDC, mud flaps, leather interior and more).
If it's below the radiator - I would expect you'll have better access this way. Other possible alternative would be to remove the front bumper - which is actually fairly easy.
