Its worse than we thought it appears that my super duper highly developed RS 6 engine has dropped a couple of exhaust valves!!!!!! The powers that be are investigating as we speak (to be fair theyre on to it!) But guess what theyve given me a A8 (old model) 2.8 as a courtesy car......Fat exective or what????????

Conti why did you had your engine changed?
Made a mistake at the RS 4 driver's challenge [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img],
changed gear, from 4-2, had to much rpm (about 12.000 [img]images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img])
I haven't noticed anything (no less power) until one morning, heared a funny noice by starting my car. Went to the dealer: "Something is wrong with your cylinders!" [img]images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img]
After having had many coversations, we phoned Audi for a new engine, they said they don't have any RS 4 engines. [img]images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img]
So I phoned agian and again, until they found one: Cosworth UK
!
Got the new engine!!: have a look at the gallery photos!!
And I'm very happy!
