INTERESTING post there V8A6

There was a B6 S4 owner with PES. His intercooler leaked too, hydrolocking a cylinder/engine blowing his motor and leaving him requiring a new one.

He went to PES and they were all ‘we can’t help you’ etc. Then he told them he had a warranty…so they lied on the warranty claim for the customer, acting as an approved shop to do the repair, and the warranty company bought him a new engine.

That’s not where it ends…the warranty offered an engine with like 60,000 miles on it (similar to his car), but he wanted a newer engine. So the warranty co. said he could pay an extra $1000 and get one with 20,000 miles on it. He did, paying PES who would in turn have that amount taken off their invoice to the warranty company for the work. The warranty company sent the new engine to PES, and payment for their work and in fact the warranty company WAIVED the $1000 charge for the newer engine because the one they got had like 30,000 miles on it, not 20,000. PES said nothing to the customer, and kept the $1000. The customer later found this out when getting all documentation sorted when he was selling the car.

Fucking no wonder these guys are out of business scum of the earth.

Unbelievable. I remember reading that story way back.

It’s really funny, there are so many PES nightmare stories on the web. You don’t even have to dig deep to find them… they are everywhere. And yet, they keep getting suckers (or newbs) to buy their product.

I know they have kind of disappeared, but I think they are still fucking with peoples cars behind the scenes. Check this thread… it is current. Can’t believe the guy put a PES SC on his beautiful car. No really, I CAN"T BELIEVE HE PUT A PES SC ON HIS BEAUTIFUL CAR!

Who cares what the dyno says when you are risking having a blown engine (and not blown as in forced induction, blown as in KABOOM!!!)

Guy does a really nice RS6 front end conversion on his car, which looks amazing. Then, not only does he add RS6 badges, he takes it one step further…

What, is this guy 10yrs old? I hate that shit, reminds of the 5th generation Camaro transformers bullshit.

Also, when you refer to your wannabe RS6 as an RS6…your delusional.

“I and Kiku agree that my RS6 has such a meaner and Bad Ass front end.”

Yeah, Wtf!?

I’ve got to agree. I can’t even fathom the foundation for the idea. If I’m not mistaken this isn’t even an actual RS6 correct?

All it is is an S6 with an RS6 front bumper, front fenders, grill, RS6 badges and a bunch of rubber dolls from Despicable Me. LOL

The guy is taking quite a beating on AZ.

I think he’s convinced he actually now has an RS6 and he believes it’s ok to call it one because it’s a sedan…“a project car” :slight_smile:

#4203

other car show geeks like flying tomatoes may be able to help you understand this disease that plagues them.

#4204

I think this is an ACTUAL disease; when one mimics something so much it believes its actually what its mimicking. Its like one that claims insanity by acting insane ONLY to become insane.

#4205

wow just read the thread.

First, that picture under the hood made me think it was a 16 year old Chinese girl’s car. I was surprised to find out it’s a Greek guy.

Second, this moron thinks that becuase he bought a bumper and an ECU tune, his S6 is now an RS6? Is he a fucking retard? He’s worse than the M318i losers.

Good to see about 10 guys are calling him out for being an idiot. I like how he’s calling everyone morons and idiots…meanwhil the motherfucker can barely spell to save his life, and is pretending he has an RS6.

Someone should show him the study guide that outlines the differences. Maybe he’ll be a little embarrassed.

I particularly liked the quote where he said 'this car has more RS6 parts on it than S6 parts

Hmmm…

RS6 parts - front bumper, grill, wheels…and badges.
S6 parts - everything else

The most important part is the engine. Does he have the RS6 engine? NOPE
Then the ZF transmission…does he have that? NOPE
How about the brakes? NOPE
Suspension? NOPE
Seats and interior? NOPE

What a fucktard.
