that was not an estimate.; Aside from the fact that $750 was paid by  
audi since my t-stat seized in warranty, i PAID that $2475.  Its  
quite typical around here ( NYC area)

High? Its outrageous. Stealers typically are.

The RS6 motor is not that different in the areas we're discussion  
here- except that all the plumbing makes the job harder. I have no  
idea why a pressurized 4.2 needs a belt done more often than a  
regular one.....if there's a reason, someone tell me. There is no  
distinction between, for example , the 2.7L and the 2.8L.

In fact if you look at bentley, pages 03-57 and 03-58 there is NO  
difference between RS6 and S6 maintenance intervals.  For anything.

The RS-6 in fact , is not listed separately. but it is covered, for  
things like turbo plumbing and Brembo brakes.

So i remain skeptical.
