... or just a one-off - does it affect UK cars?

Is this a common RS6 Fault?
I can't say i've ever encountered the level of performance degredation that guy speaks of.
Saying that, my RS6 has many Sportec trick goodies that provide 10X the level of engine, turbo & gearbox cooling, so my oil temp never gets above 60 degrees even on a warm day in standing traffic, so i'll not be doing this Blue Peter modification.
The ambient temp in the UK only really gets above 80 degrees for a few weeks a year so i would not worry in the slightest, even in a totally standard car.

C'mon guys, the cars have been tested and tested over and over again,even in places where it's 50 degrees celcius.
I think it wil never reach those temperatures in "normal" conditions..
This summer i've blasted the A8 for atleast 4 hours at speeds above 200km/h in temps above 30 degrees celcius.
After that i stopped in a small traffic jam result; nothing,nothing changed at all.
That's the way it's designed...You shouldn't worry.
It can handle a lot more than you think! It's an Audi not a Lada.

An opinion is like an asshole,everybody has got one.
