Is not only the M3's that have engine problems. :lol:

That piston seems to me that suffered too much boost pressure or the AFR was too lean (overheating). :wink:

How is the weather in PT? I have some info about soft M3 vs RS4 sportec stage2. 8)

I called them and the RS4 has been sold. It was a cambelt issue. Couple of bend valves and one broke off. which means you need one piston, cylinderhead and a bunch of valves.

This car is ....was a bargain..... I'd bought it straight away.... MTM Racing clutch and gearbox.. !!!

Darn!!

12K :shock: that´s alot of money to put it down on the road again. How many miles did your car have when the engine died?
