Coolant gone, ok to fire up the engine for 10-20 secs?
Re: Coolant gone, ok to fire up the engine for 10-20 secs?
Just a pedantic note: You can't really tow an RS6. Flatbed only.

What did I miss? I know that, she would never be towed by me.
Thanks for the potential interest, I will reply shortly.north-star wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2023 2:18 pmI have sent you a PMMr Footlong wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2023 9:42 amCheeRS guys, off she goes, hopefully to not come back as the contents of a highly profitable eBay Shop! -

Well, called up the flatbed guy this morning and as of 10 mins ago, the old girl is back on the driveway. Lovely seeing the beautiful old girl back home, but really sad also knowing that I am not going to get her running again myself 
.
I will give her a once over at some point and advertise her at the £5k that I expect for her.
Side note, after the house extension plans got shot down on Friday, I went full r3tard and bought this at the weekend (Vorsprung spec), turns up on Tuesday
