K&N Air Filter Question

[Mihnea Cotet]

Huh? Check engine light and that's it??? Can't believe it! What were the 
fault codes?

BTW and FWIW, an RS6's climate control panel has a special function that 
allows Audi mechanics to see in 2 seconds if the ECU is stock or not. It's 
a hidden function that the quattro Gmbh technicians have decided to include 
in the system after a lot of warranty claims on turbos on the RS4. Those 
warranty claims are also the reason why the new S4 (V8 and NA) and the 
upcoming S3 are NA engines. No turbo, no easy HP to be had, so most of the 
cars will remain stock and no one will claim anything because he has had 
the car chipped.
