Audi S6 V10 manifold flaps
Discussion
Rounding off this sorry tale: my garage looked around for a replacement engine. One in the UK didn't look great. Several on ebay.de looked good and they bought one...which never arrived. So there's a dead engine with a new manifold (costing £2K+) and €7K gone on an engine. They were going to claim the engine off their insurance and not charge me the labour. A new engine would make the car an insurance write off. In the end they offered to buy the car off me at any reasonable price I suggested - net of the manifold too. So I have "market" price for my car and no other costs - except replacement. (Merc E Class estate looking likely - sadly I think I am going to diesel).
Whilst it's an unpleasant experience, one of those "I'm glad that didn't happen to me!" ones, I couldn't have expected anything more from the garage.
