Default did all of that when the trans was replaced...9,000 miles ago....BUT good news..

I'm keeping the car...did a fair deal with the repair....basically my car has new trans, new DRC, new O2 and exhaust sensors, timing belt, water pump, new fans, all new oil and transmission lines, new rotors and pads.........and I'm having my windshield replaced (all pitted)...

Default Great, thought I'd almost be the last standing. We apparently have to add starter to the WTEIOL...

Default RS6's should come with an engine pulling machine for the owners

Just drive the nose into and it will undo the whole thing to ready it for service.

I know no such device exists but it would be handy.

Were there any warning symptoms? Did it just die or what?

happened 3 different times before I brought it in..
