That’s a really generous offer from you Astro.
Well done mate.
It gives Barry another option to consider if he decides to keep the car.

Yeah thanks for that lol you really have threw a spanner in the works there

Just got off the phone 📞 with martin at unit 20 says is the engine with turbos ? As said he would replace them as the inter coolers were filling with quite a bit of oil, if not to refurb mine would be around £450 each plus labour to refit new engine would be 20 hours labour which is £1400 plus vat s...

So sorry Barry to hear this crap news. I really do feel for you. If you break it then it’s going to take time and effort to find potential buyers. So if you can I would try to sell it as a non runner. But I have no idea what it would sell for. I would put a advertisement on here first and see if yo...

Cheers for the reply’s I have to think long and hard I wouldn’t know what would be a acceptable offer in its current condition as is,

I haven’t got the money to buy the engine, then there’s fitting, then something else would go wrong etc etc etc this car has crippled me beyond belief, it actually gives me nightmares now

So long story short I’ve finally give up on my C5 RS6 the engine just failed 2 weeks ago engine completely cut out, lost all power, so after the rac low loading it they hadn’t a clue. So I sent it unit 20 and as I thought the engine is damaged beyond repair 2 pistons have completely ceased and basic...

I think this is the company I dealt with. OEM PART check them out on eBay.
Still looking for the invoice to confirm.

I ended up buying one because of Steve lol does look a lot better though good quality as well

He said 2-3 weeks that was Monday just gone so I’m hoping end of next week fingers crossed 🤞 but I’m also just expecting 3 weeks the luck I’ve had recently at least I know once it’s done that should be that, I know one thing when I get her back I’m going to go for a long drive and I’m sleeping 😴 in ...
