RS3 oil leak and new head needed!?
Discussion
So. In response to the answers above...
You’re right - they do indeed fix people’s V10 R8s and in fact they fixed this very person’s v10 R8 - or at least they did until I started going to an indie for several reasons.
My wife’s s4 was damaged at an authorised dealer as was my A4 previously. So I am not full of confidence.
Let’s see.
On the matter of a courtesy car...that's another story. Despite them having the car for over 2 weeks I don't have one. They claims not to have an RS or S available. They offered me an A5 this week - but not really interested in that.

Also if they do it, it will have a shiny new warranty on the new bits, if they fail, it can be fixed free of charge again.
Not so. Repairs / new parts only covered until end of original warranty term. If you pay for them you do get 2 years - or whatever comes with relevant part - but not if free under warranty. Check the terms 
Mind you, if it failed again you would have a good case for ex gratia payment.

The fact that I find it hard to trust it will be done right 
Let's see.
Just curious. Do you think that the factory assembles cars any better? Let's see.
I think I'd have more confidence in my local dealer, although that's maybe because I've known (and bought from) them for more than 20 years.
Not saying it won’t be done OK by the dealer but there is more of a risk.

I’d be fairly sure the engines are assembled better at the factory. Mostly automated, assembled in much cleaner conditions with everything new. Definitely.

I totally agree, Still waiting on parts...Not saying it won’t be done OK by the dealer but there is more of a risk.
Finally got a courtesy car (S5) and await the news of when they get it 'rebuilt'...
