christmas down-under means barbeques and swimming pools. caught up with my brother who reports that his rs2 is still going strong. he had to replace a rear wheel bearing during 2010. he also replaced the turbo with a garrett in 2009. these are the only faults that he has had. not bad for a vehicle now done 250,000 kms..... happy christmas to all dave '03 rs6 '04 allroad tdi
