WOW that looks GREAT Fergus well done!!!!
RS5 Oil Cooler leak
Well for just about a week I’ve had a real void in my life. There was an empty space in the garage as the RS was away for a little maintenance.
I discovered a drop of oil on the garage floor after it returned from its annual service. What had happened is I picked up a stone that had found it’s way through the front lower splitter and punctured a soft alloy fin in the cooler unit. Audi quoted over £800+ Vat for the cooler itself with their labour for a front off repair escalating the price considerably. So I found a trusted (and quality) specialist who saw me all right. Anyway new cooler fitted with my old one returned so I can get it repaired as that’s all it will need rather than a full recore.
On my journey home I thoroughly enjoyed the RS back in my life and I know she too was happy to be reunited as she was singing VERY loudly for me maximising the exhaust gasses she can now expell from her lungs with the cheeky wee exhaust upgrade she has just been treated to a few weeks ago.
Here’s some pics of the front off oil cooler replacement.
