Golich what are the symptoms for the oil seals going on your turbos, if you rev the engine (without load) after starting it does it occasionally whiff of burning oil. As for dealers, are automated, they bash the work through without doing it properly. Sadly the S4 - RS4 imho are specialist cars and ...

Cat Damage

Anybody have any details on possible damage to both Cats? After a large gulp of oil was sent down the exhaust, due to the dealer overfilling the engine oil!

Am I likely to see damage to the cats with just one overfill of oil going out the exhaust? What do you think???

Crancase breather - Airbox

Any body know if the crancase breather enters the airbox, or bypasses it???
Just had a full service and they over filled the oil, (duh) - and last night on a cold engine one large gulp of oil exited the exhaust.
Just want to work out whether the new air filter is now part filled with oil!!!
