Been driving yesterday night...and suddenly had power loss (had this a couple of times lately...). Usually it went away as soon as it came but no...now it stays. So my RS6 feels like a Fiat Panda now. Guess its running in permanent limp mode without turbo's....Car is at the dealer now to check. Just hope the turbos arent dead...94k km on it now.
I had my cam with me so i took a short vid:

I doubt it's dead turbos - probably a boost leak or something along those lines. Good luck sorting it out.

Good idea to take a video. Seems to me your problem might be the same as the one I had last fall - boost regulator valves.

Finally...solved. Problem was way hard to find.
Theres a controllane going from the magnetpressurevalve downwards into a T-coupling which is then going left/right onto the wastegate. This T-coupling (plastic) was partly broken...apparently this is a somewhat known problem on older ('02 and '03) RS6.
Newer RS6 contain a better T-coupling made of metal or special/hardened plastik.
