that can't be true can it? Ive never heard that you have to pull the engine
on any car to replace the starter... but I guess this is RS6 so anything is possible.
That sucks man, sorry to hear that.

That is insane and another example of "WTF were they thinking??"
The extended warranty Bruce sold me covers this part as I mad rushed to the file to check. However; I think I'll add it to the list of things to do on the next certain engine pull to come for some sort of maintenance item.
I hate to hear the news for you and what it means for all of us.

Most of us will eventually reach the same point :(...the car is just
not worth the excessive maintenance costs. I always expected higher costs due to the performance nature of the vehicle. However; some of the designs of this car result in needless operational costs.
While it is great when it operates, a lot of us will reach a "sad day" prematurely due to these issues.
