Audi took the engine apart on Friday and by the afternoon had very efficiently emailed me a progress report:
"We have road tested and confirmed that the car does indeed lack the expected power of an RS4, and have inspected and found an amount of coking on the valves and the inlet. We have taken photos and sent them to Audi’s technical department for guidance".
Quite impressed so far. This morning, as I was passing close by there on my way back from a meeting, I took a look for myself and the valves (particularly the rear two) are completely coated in a thick tar like substance. It looks horrible, so we all await news from Germany. In the meantime I am beetling about in the red Rover which so far is proving reliable if as asthmatic as a chain smoking pensioner.
Whilst in the garage, the salesman who sold me the RS4 was in full flow, advising me of a very resting RS6 that would be coming in at the beginning of March - the one with the Lambo V10 engine. Temptations temptations.......
