Mike,

I had the same problem two weeks back.
NEA quoted me $375 for the part plus 3 hours labour.
I was supposed to drive it up there Tuesday last week
but the previous night the CPS finally gave up completely
and no start at all. I couldn't find anyone to truck it
to NEA, even for $250, so I had to get it taken to Pass
& Weisz in Burlington. Where it has been languishing
untouched ever since, due to a continuing foulup with
keys (locked in the car by the tow driver) and spare
keys (picked up by the P&W shuttle guy last Wednesday
but mislaid and not found until Friday p.m.). Sigh,
hoping they get to it today.
My advice, get this fixed sooner rather than later!!

Oh well, we have a new toy while waiting. Our garage went
from 10-cylinders/1-turbo to 11-cylinders/3-turbos. We
traded mye wifes '94 Volvo 850 for a shiny new Allroad
2.7T 6-speed. Wow, it's even more adept than the S6 at
silently creeping up to speeds way in excess of the limit!
