i think you may be right as the previous owner was from Kent.i tried contacting him on Facebook but no reply.
Where do you think you saw that info? On here?


Looking for £22-£30k RS6 C6 Avant
I think it was on either piston heads or autotrader
I think I may have his contact details as prior to me buying the C7 I was looking at other C6s. If you pm me his name I will check and see if it matches up and forward you contact details.

Well, if you the one you're looking at falls through for whatever reason, I suggest you have a look at this one, it belonged to I believe Tom?

Thanks for the heads up, looks like a great car but I can't do red. I could have it wrapped I suppose.

Well pretty much as expected! Now what I'd hoped for but kinda what I'd anticipated anyway.
Power - all there, running sweet with no issues.

Coolant pipes - corroded :(
Rear engine oil seal - perished :(
Few other minor bits but over all exactly what you'd expect of a 2008 50k car.

Dealer is reeling a bit as I don't think he had built enough into the deal to accommodate these repairs. He's not dodging it, I just think it's caught him unawares.
He's looking at what he can do as a package or a discount with me having to sort the work that needs doing.
