I am in the middle of replacing the timing belt, water pump, etc on my 2000 A6 
2.7T and decided this is a good time to install the valve cover and timing chain 
tensioner gaskets while everything is apart.  I have had the gasket kit for a 
while but have been putting the job off.  Does anybody know where I can rent or 
borrow the timing chain tensioner tool in the Denver-Boulder-Springs-Ft. Collins 
area for a couple of days?  I could rent one from Blau but the rest of my parts 
should show up tomorrow or Friday and I would like to get it back together this 
weekend.  I would be happy to rent the tool or buy you a 12 pack of Fat Tire.  
Please email me off the list if you can help.
thanks,
Dave

I bet you never thought you'd see this:

Best cost of ownership, Luxury convertible: Audi A4 Cabriolet

OK, so it's not Best Sports Sedan, but an Audi is a Winner!
(Like the Celtics!)

Hi again Y'all,  (I guess I could say "It's me again, Margaret.")

The RS2ed urS6 has been getting only light use recently.  I get it 
out and run it some every week or so and then park it in the garage 
again.  Well, I had an errand to run yesterday and while on that 
errand the ignition hiccuped three or four times.  I brought it home 
intending to run VAG-COM on it and then forgot and turned off the 
ignition before hooking up the laptop.  Duh.  Dope slap time 
dontchaknow.  :-(

Today - another errand.  More hiccups.  This time I didn't forget and 
turn off the ignition.  Hooked up VAG-COM and read the errors - none 
found.  There were no codes at all.  Looks like I'm once again 
encountering an Audi gremlin problem with no clue about where to look.

It feels like a simple quick ignition cut-out.

The car:
1995.5 urS6

The engine related mods:
RS2 turbo,
EM,
FMIC,
Samco hoses,
RS2 injectors,
MRC software,
Independently relayed fuel pump

Other mods:
HRSB
HID lights
Bright dash lights,
Fumoto oil drain valve,

Several other minor mods

Is it the stock ECU?  Isn't the stock ECU supposed to recognize
an ignition misfire?  Maybe the MRC software isn't clued in and
your problem is a plug/wire/coil.

Just thinking out loud.

Certainly no expert here, but depending on your answer to Chris' questions have 
you thought about the ignition switch itself?
