Well, this might not associate with RS6 topic but after what I experience today I thought I should share it to all the RS6 owner. Due to rainy day, I drive my 2002 sl500 today instead of rs6 because it was wash and clean on the weekend. Anyway, as I was crusing down the triffic going up the hill 2 buses was ahead of me going side by side. Because it was wet both buses blocks the traffic for a while. As it goes down hill, soon one of the bus lead ahead and with the little space I pass the bus and start to rush down the hill(you know after being block for about 5 to 10 minute going up hill in 20-30km, you tends to heavy on the thorttle once it was clear). Than it happens, as the speed reach about 110-120km. I can see the traffic light ahead of me about 150m away. First thing I notice is that the music shut off and the big screen monitor went off as well. I step on the brake and knowing that no brake was available. Than I realize the car engine has also shut off. All sort of Warning light went on in the center of the dash board felt like the christmas light jingling in the total darkness. Although the power of the car has shut off, there is still very little brake as you press as HARD as you possibley could. It like watching the movie Apollo 13 that the crew is waiting the power to come back again. I guess God is on my side this time. The green light freeze in a slow motion as I drive through the intersection with hardly no brake. Once I pass the intersection the car start to slow down to about 30 km than the engine start itself. It like you drive a stick shift with no battery and you have to push the car to start it, that how it felt. I really cannot figure out how the auto transmission start by itself I step on the throttle trying to move my car to the slow lane where I can park it. Than the engine shut off as I approach to stop and back on again when the car has totally stop it. I sat in the car thinking about what has just happen and with goose bump all over me. I shift the lever to park and trying to pull it down to drive but was unable to do it. The car simply just lock it but you can start the engine on and off without a problem. The car has a read of 7 melfunction. I have the car tow to the dealer hopefully I will know what happen tomorrow. Later today I drive out my rs6 but honestly with blank in my mind. I hope I will recover tomorrow. Anyone of you has such experience.
