That is not a sight you want to see when pulling apart a gearbox! 😬
High performance means high stress, and this Audi RS6 pushed its planetary assembly just a bit too far. Severe cracking and stripped teeth brought this beast to a halt. ⚙️❌

Luckily, it’s in the right hands. Our team is deep into the reconstruction process to get this RS6 back on the tarmac where it belongs.

🚨 NIGHTMARE FUEL: When your exhaust starts glowing cherry red... 🍒🔥

Ever seen an exhaust or catalytic converter glow like a lightsaber?
It looks cool in a movie, but in real life, it means major trouble!
We recently had a vehicle come into the shop with a rough misfire, a glowing red exhaust, and a terrible rotten-egg smell. 🤢
What actually causes this?
When an engine misfires, it pumps raw, unburnt gasoline straight out of the cylinder and down into the white-hot exhaust system. When that raw fuel hits the catalytic converter, it creates an uncontrolled chemical meltdown, spiking temperatures past 1,000°C! That rotten-egg smell? That's the internal ceramic lining literally cooking itself.

⚠️ The Danger: A glowing cat is a massive fire hazard and can completely choke out your engine.

If your check engine light starts flashing, your car smells foul and starts misfiring, don't wait until it melts. Drop it off at RL Service Centre and let our team fix the root cause before a cheap spark plug turns into an expensive

When you take a corner, why don't your car tires skitter and slide? 🤔🚗

It’s all thanks to the differential! When turning, your outside wheel has to travel a longer path than the inside wheel. That means the outside wheel must spin faster.
The differential splits the engine's power and allows the left and right wheels to rotate at different speeds.
Without it, your tires would constantly scrub, hop, and wear out incredibly fast.We love the brilliant engineering that goes into your vehicle's drivetrain!

Struggling with a car that suddenly won't move? 🛠️

If your vehicle suddenly stopped moving and makes a loud grinding noise when you press the accelerator, your transmission might actually be perfectly fine! This common issue is usually caused by a broken CV joint or a damaged driveshaft.
