Now on Youtube for those who missed it.

They also have the C7 RS6 vs E63 AMG on the same episode. The RS4 feature is at 23:55 for those who don't wish to wait.

Coolant leak is due to the aux radiators leaking. Very common fault. And as 2 aux rads are not realy required for the british weather a common 'upgrade' when replacing the defective passenger one is to completely remove the drivrs side rad and fit a cold air feed in its place.

Yeah found out about that myself in the summer, you have two options.

1. Replace the Aux rad with a new one
2. Bypass the Aux rad and put in a T connector and if the driver's side you have the option of putting in a CAI to the air box

Thread hijack - I assume you've not got the Vauxhall van any more Graeme? That thing was just bloody brilliant; loved the thread on PH on it and the mods you made :biggrin3: Was sorely tempered when you put it up for sale but had too many toys :(
