Anyways, heard anything from the 4.2 R8 camp as well?

Maybe Audi has finally addressed the issue, but the engine is just a slightly modified version of what you'll find in the old RS4 and V8 R8 and I doubt there's much they can change at this point. The problem isn't insurmountable; the build-up can be removed. It's just something you'd have to be aware of and eventually deal with. Obviously it's not a huge issue if you choose to lease an RS5. |
