Sorry to hear of your misfortune, at least you're not reliant on it whilst it's in the garage. I'll await an update in 7 months 
Still the only car that has got me close to a literal brown trouser moment

- I'll have my lawyer call your lawyer
I wouldn't, mines not very good
Shame to see it off the road again but one of the sacrifices when pushing so hard!

Can you actually full throttle this thing below 100mph without traction issues? I know it's AWD but that's a serious amount of power/torque
Yeap, anything from 30mph upwards in 2nd gear on dry/damp roads and it grips and buggers off with a massive thump in the back (violent enough for a pair of glasses to fly off my uncles head) . I'm running 275 wide MPSS tyres all-round which helps too.
Also, I don't floor it in 1st often (less than 5 times total) where it would wheelspin because there's just no real need to, it's not really what the car is built for and the same goes for full throttle on wet roads or driving like an idiot, there's just no need to when you can just drive it like a normal A6 if you have to.

Feel your pain mate, my RS3 has been off the road more than on it recently, with blown turbos and engine rebuild, but thats what chasing power is all about.
Hope you get it sorted soon mate.

Only if tuned incorrectly, my engine died due to my methanol kit failing and cooking the engine, high IAT's.Get a proper turbo kit hybrids are engine killers
Wont be going down that road again.

@ianh .... Genuine question. Do you run a company? Either a very weird set of circumstances or the stars have aligned. Will explain upon your anwser.
General Update - The cars had the gearbox rebuilt and fitted but due to me not being able to get back to the UK for another 3-6 months I've held off getting the "servicing" bits done (brakes, oil etc) until closer to my eventual collection, by which point it'll have been nearly 18 months since I last drove it due to repairs, working in Saudi, Corona flight bans etc.
I was a self-employed contractor (if thats the term) for a few years with a LTD company but closed that a few years ago when I got a permanent job. However now my curiosity is piqued

Oh praise the lord for that.
So i see your name is Ian H ... my boss is an Ian H. My boss resides in stoke... and drives an RS6 that looks identical to this and it's beefy for sure although i haven't enquired about it's HP.

Haha so do you guys know each other or not then?
@FloppyPoppy - Thats a pretty close match, I hate to think there's another IanH in Stoke with an RS6 ruining my reputation, please ask him to change his name ASAP
@skaif - Only on this forum, although the list of coincidences is disturbingly high from the list provided by @FloppyPoppy!
In another two "it's a small world" examples - I was chatting to a guy on Pistonheads for a few months about my RS6 and it turns out he's the direct boss of my mate at Bet365 in Stoke. My mate had mentioned I'd taken him out for a spin in my car to his car-mad boss who put 2+2 together! Finally, at Bet365 again, my boss (two levels above me) is good friends with the owner Denise after their kids met at school and became good friends and now they all holiday together etc.
