2003 RS6 Tool what's missing?
Re: 2003 RS6 Tool what's missing?
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair."

Re: 2003 RS6 Tool what's missing?
Very little point in having the tyre goo, or the repair foam that I still carry.
I've had at least three punctures and in each case the rim has ripped the tyre wall to shreds in about three revolutions. So, unless you pick up a slow puncture that deflates the tyre overnight or similar, no amount of goo will help. Personally on a long trip I would seriously consider taking a spare tyre (without rim). Most local places will be able to fit one for you, it's getting hold of a compatible tyre that is a pain in foreign places.

Thanks for that Dave. Think I will get a tyre and pack all the luggage around it.
