Re: Potential alternator fault

It’s entirely to be expected that the warranty would be voided with a remap. This is a well trodden topic on here and elsewhere.

Your car will now be tagged at Audi, no warranty claims to be had.

Re: Pre-registered car - discounts

Premium end of the market absolutely, and across the board there is pain.

Re: RS6 Performance Insurance

VWFS rates were laughable, I went elsewhere.

Be aware your seven year plan starts on the day manufacture was completed not when first registered. This was one point of contention/learning from my experience.

Re: RS6 Performance Insurance

GAP back to invoice presumably? Probably easier to get agreed value on the insurance policy than pay twice. NFU works best with new cars with the new car clause for vehicles under two years old. Your servicing costs will make all of this look like small beer. They are needy fuckers, it drove me bon...

RS6 Performance Insurance

That’s a lot for the 488. F12 was well under a grand for me as an add on, with then admiral. All of the insurers have their foibles. If you want no quibble and tip top service Hiscox can’t be beaten, though motor not available directly, only through broker and of course it has the price tag to go wi...

Re: RS6 Performance Insurance

These numbers are crackers. How do the quotes looks Perf Vs non-Perf?

Quotes here are more than I’ve paid for any car ever, in fact more than I’ve paid for all our cars in totality.

Re: Not popular here then?

The tax break will soon become a problem. The pricing won’t work once the government comes hunting for its RFL and fuel duty replacements.

I could get my head around a local run around, but the cost doesn’t stack up against a petrol hack.

Re: Not popular here then?

Have driven Taycan not e-tron. I was happy to get back into my car. The max torque trick is only good for so long. Wrestling it around corners wasn’t fun. Yes, for over two tonnes it defies physics and I am all for the electric motor. The battery, nope, it’s not the answer. The range and charging is...

Small claim covers up to 5k, if the selling dealer drags feet you’ll be instructing a lawyer.

Re: RS6 performance

None of them look exceptional now. BMW have lost the styling plot, though M5 is least afflicted. Audi have been heading to peak Halfords for a while and Merc, well, is Merc. E63 is least overstated of them all.

Peak RS6 was C7.

Re: RS6 performance

Good to see Autocar on the pulse….mention of dual clutch gearbox which it isn’t, of course.

Big price uptick. Audi discounting?
