Four stripe epaulets - "I'm in charge."
Three stripe epaulets - "Not my fault." :harass:
I'm 28 years old.
I'm a software engineer specializing in vulnerability analysis, and an expert in open source software licensing issues.
I have a 2012 CTS-V wagon, and a 2008 Mercedes CLK63...
I'm not wrong at all.
Note what I said... "Anyone who would NEED a loan". You're both in a position to pay cash for the car without the loan...
This.
This is why I got out of mine so fast... I can't take the bus. No public transit option for moi.
I'm amazed anyone is financing an RS6 without requiring a full powertrain warranty. It's a failure of the finance institution's risk management practices - why would they write a loan that would seem...
When was the last time (first time?) anyone saw one of these things? I've seen plenty of photos before, and lots of For Sale ads in non-running condition... this is the first time I've ever seen one...
If I in fact had the MTM TCU chip in my car, then I'd be utterly mystified why anyone would spend the money to take the factory transmission programming, and revert it back to acting like a...
You know, this doesn't surprise me at all. Consider - I had a coolant leak on my RS6. It ended up being a $20 plastic part - that required 10 hours of labor to access. Is it smart to pack an engine...
I sold my RS6 before anything untoward happened regarding the transmission, but it definitely did not act the way it should have acted. The car was completely stock, but the trans computer would...

It's not my old car, but it's a twin. I'm glad that it will be back on the road before long...
Car is no longer avail for viewing at the original link. If it has been relisted, could you post an updated link? I have a bit of a burning curiosity - mostly want to see if it's my old car. If it's...
Fantastic! Thank you for putting these up... can't believe it took me this long to discover them. Superb driving music. :-)
I thought that you needed to take the engine out over the top? Are you intending to drop the whole subframe (if there is one), and pull out the whole front suspension along with it? Not sure if thats...
So many parts replaced means one of two things: It was a lemon, or it had an abusive owner who drove the crap out of it. Or it could be both.
I think it's a red flag - I'd stay far away from that...
I didn't have an RS6 that had this issue, but I did have a BMW 540i that did - exhibited a vibration, only when cold, between 45 and 55 MPH in the steering wheel. Eventually traced it to bad bushings...
Ben,
This makes me so happy. I'm glad you aggressively followed-up, as I suggested. :-)
Have fun. As luck would have it, my mother is relocating to Southern California, and as such, will be...
Really? You don't know why? I just have to ask - did you not have another location available? I'd kill my husband if he did any such thing with my kitchen or dining room table... to monopolize it...
The secret is... I like this shop. They're honest, they treat me very well. I buy my tires from them, too... they're competent, fast, communicative. And I've been known to buy them Pizza from time to...
They charged me an hour labor for everything... $120. I'm guessing it was probably more like 20 minutes, but these are mechanics... they have to make money.
Everything looks OK - no new coolant...
Am I the only one who's totally confused here?
Gee, thanks, Greg. Make me paranoid before I even get the car back...
Good news everybody... Mechanic just called me. It was diagnosed as a cracked expansion tank. Looks like everything else is still fine...
Makes sense actually as the leakage would only happen...
Its obvious that they sold you a defective part - and I would press on. If the worst happens, I hope you paid with your credit card - that way you just dispute the charge...
Yeah but, think about how good you'd look in an $800 jacket... priorities, priorities...
ugh. OK, well, instead of pulling them can they just bypass them without pulling them out? I didn't realize it was such an involved process (as it seem anything and everything is with this car...)...
