[s-cars] that RS6 O2 sensor

[jpb3]

I also hear that the front swaybar needs to be dropped just to change the
oil filter!

I was thinking of an RS6 after another year of depreciation but the trannys
cannot withstand that motor if you turn the wick up in the slightest bit and
servicing this bitch is a nightmare from what I have read.

Oh well, I'll wait to snatch a V10 for the UrS6!  in a few years :-) LOL
