路A sad end to the best car I鈥檝e ever owned. RIP RS6, now down to arguing with Audi over a settlement as to how this can happen on a new car.

路What happened?
The oil separator split which then damaged some pipework and 1 of the small radiators and the crank shaft has a fault on it. I've sold the car back to Audi but as the car is just over 3 months out of warranty I am currently arguing over who is liable for the repair bill as I think this was all tied into an engine rebuild that they carried out the previous year.

Interesting, however, unfortunate. Were you just unlucky or has a similar fate befallen other 4.0L motors?

Surprised regarding the oil separator, have you posted your issue on Audizine at all? I'm sure that group would be very interested to hear this story. I had a C6 S6 for about a year, and read about turbo failure... once the warranty ran out, I traded it in for the M6.

路Wow, sorry for your loss. I had a C5 RS6 (aka "The Red Dragon") and loved that thing dearly. Although the trans failure concern forced me to sell, but it will always be one of my favorites.

I usually change cars after 3 years but kept it on as I loved it that much. Untouchable by most cars on the road to say it's a 2.2 tonne estate. Don't go on any car forums but just got a meeting with the Dealer Principal on Wednesday to thrash out a deal.
Just waiting to see what the new 8 series drives like when it launches in November.

路So I finally found the one to add to my modest collection. A face lift 996 X50 with sports seats and nav, fully loaded, triple black with an amaizing 13 stamp Porsche and specialist history.

路Came across this on Instagram. For a car that had limited success in motorsports, it definitely looked the part.

路On the street this week in Deal:
Nice to see such a beautifully restored car (Morris Cowley Six) in 'normal' use.
