this is a great guide, thank you for sharing. Following thos I have a horrible feeling I've sheered both of the t50 bolts accessed at the front of the bumper - if enough bolt is left inside, will this prevent the bumper coming forward to be removed? If so, any tricks to assist?
Yes, if the thread has not released then it will stop the bumping pulling forward and off unfortunately. The heads on those bolts is round as well - damn! Try getting a bolt remover tool like Irwin etc to grip the heads.

Hey there! No, if you are replacing them for new units you should be fine. Quite a straight forward operation really. Just use some common sense, check that the pipes are all clear no debris etc (they are air in the RS6, not coolant like in the S4 etc). So pretty straight-forward job to be fair.

Do you plan on doing videos on every aspect of RS6 Maintenance? I own one and love to start working on it myself. Thanks so much for doing these videos, cheers!
Hey there! Thank you - much appreciated! It's something we would certainly like to do. However, because our content is very specialist (i.e. far from viral) we cannot earn decent (i.e. worthwhile) revenue from UA-cam Ads ($1 per 1,000 views average). Likewise, it seems (please prove us wrong anyone reading this!!!) that we cannot rely on the generosity of our viewers to support us as we have added donation info at the end of every video as well as a shout out at the start of the year and have so far received a grand total of three small donations in 6 months (but definite big up those 3 people, thank you!!!!), which is massively dissapointing, especially considering we have over 10,000 subscribers. We'd hoped that if we are able to save people money that they would be willing to pay it back a little. If people donated back to us just 5% of the cost of taking the same job to a garage (a 95% saving!!!!) then we'd be able to bring everyone all types of funky in-depth stuff, and all free too. But unfortunately these days everyone expects everything for free :-( We did start doing pay to view content on UA-cam for more in-depth content and that started well, but UA-cam closed that service in February 2018. We are currently working on our own website which should hopefully be live in the next few weeks, and that will allow us to host the more in-depth project and maintenance type video's. Our video's are aimed at saving people money, including the paid content! But absolutely, this is something that we would like to bring our viewers. But it's becoming clearer the more in-depth or specialist we go then it will simply have to be pay to view content. If we spend hours filming, editing and uploading something and only get 20,000 views that will be around $20, which is a loss for us as time is a valuable resource (I've not met many people who like working for free, lol!) So the reward has to be there just to justify creating the specvialist content. Maybe things will change a bit when we have 100,000 subscribers.
