[s-cars] RS6

[Taka Mizutani]

Bruce, you forgot the two choice items- starter is an engine-out affair at
12 hrs. book time, and O2 sensors are something crazy as well- 8 hrs. each I
think?

Basically the RS6 is an unserviceable POS.

I know the guy from down under is going to take offense to that one.
