New Water Cooler £200 S+F

And Now I find out that there are yet more perished Oil Cooler pipes, totalling £1084

The guy who is doing the work said that she will look and run great once finished, excited much.......Come back baby I miss you so much.....you keep me sane, or insane whichever way you look at it, even prozzies are cheaper for services rendered than feckin Audrey, you owe me a few FREE dances biatch!!!!!

TOTAL Spend in over 4 weeks £10,135, now I must have seriously lost my marbles somewhere in this timescale, as I was on moaning about the 5k A for Audi were charging for the works they could see required doing, not including a gearbox or TC going in, but hell that's a crap load of dosh. She better not give me any more lip, or she's getting kicked about the street like an empty tracksuit....or maybe not, she may fight back and just eat me!!!

Well I still love her, and she's a keeper.. :kissmyrings:

BTW on original Box £160k so they're is hope for you all, I don't think that was a bad lifespan on first box, :bowdown:

Happy September Weekend Everyone !!!!!!

Decent list of items there!

Why PZeros? They are not rated on the RS6. And why 5?

NB: Are you selling the RNS-E then? (not that I'm interested in buying it - unless you are giving it away :bigblink: )

...and one of these...? Instead of: €3,995.00, theyre now €3,295.00.
they can overhaul and upgrade your existing used oem RS6 turbo's to L0650 Spec. For a more economic price of 1,975.00 euro inc vat...

New Brake Discs all round £1650
New Brake Pads all round ( EBC RED STUFF) £225
1) You're way overpaying for discs
2) EBC does not belong on an RS. And certainly not at that price. In my time I tried every color EBC make (not on the '6 but the material is the same) and each was as mediocre as the last. In the "go big or go home" category, which seems to be what you're doing, I would get Carbotech pads. Or Pagid RS-14/RS-19. Actually you can probably save enough money on the discs to get such proper pads for free.
