Next time you wince at paying £165 at your friendly VW emporium for them to just drop the oil, dent the sills, smear the steering wheel and make a nice video telling you your barely half worn brakes need changing soon and that your 4mm tyres are nearing the limit spare a thought for your RS6 owning distant cousins.
Just had a text in from a mate who’s had his mk5 GTI in for a bit of work at the local VAG indie.
There’s an RS6 in there with its whole engine out to enable the timing chains to be changed.
Labour bill alone stands at 26 hours.
Ouch.
