• Looks like RS6 ownership is unsurprisingly going to be rather expensive. The Wankerbarge has developed an annoying clonking noise from the front right suspension (sounds like a top mount or control arm bush has died) so it's off to Mr. Audi next week. I thought I might as well treat it to an oil change at the same time. Turns out that's £355. Ouch.

    Still, I managed a new low for fuel consumption on the way back from my spray booth tonight. 15.8mpg. It's a thirsty old barge, particularly now I've started using the steering wheel paddles to change gear rather than leaving the autobox to do its own thing.

    Oh well, could be worse. I could have bought @Dammit's Porsche.

  • To be fair, it does require rather a lot of fully-synthetic oil to do an oil change. 11.2 litres in fact. And it's a dry sump system, which may complicate matters.
