WRT the O2 sensors, the service interval for those is dangerously similar to
the timing belt interval, which in order to replace, the engine also has to
come out.

Moral of the story, replace everything that requires engine removal every
60,000 miles.  At a parts cost of $200 (TB, WP, idler pulley), $600 (O2
sensors), $200 (starter), etc. etc. etc. and a labor cost of $2200 (22 hours
x $100/hour).  So, probably at least $3500 every 60k.

Awesome.

Does the RS6 have timing belts or a timing chain?
