Hi guys
The car has covered 95,000 miles and is not under Audi warranty.
How many guys on here are running their car without an Audi warranty?
I have been looking at click4warranty and their prices seem reasonable.
I really just want to cover a catastrophic failure like a gearbox. 7k would hurt very much, but with click4warranty I would still have to contribute 45% towards the cost of the gearbox because of the current mileage on the car. Admittedly paying 45% of 7k is better than 100% of 7k.

RE: Just bought an RS6 C5
Hi Dave, welcome and good choice in car, i have also have a RS6 C5 currently on 102,000 miles, full service history and always well looked after, i have no warranty, i have looked into it but most don't really cover cars over 100k miles, with regards to gearbox failures, i think its a lottery, however these guys will tell you about various warranty, and any help that you need with your beast. Chris.
Hi Chris
As I say after perusing this forum it is the gearbox going that is the worst case scenario. A lot of cars seem to have had gearbox work at some point, or maybe I am being paranioid!
What a car though. So effortless and smooth. A real pleasure to drive.
I hope I am going to have several years of pleasure with this beast.

My advise is drive and enjoy,thats what i think in mine,what else in the same price range can you have for performance of (a super car) at 5 times the price and 10 times the bills ,if it does go wrong then worry then until then enjoy my friend.

Although it looks like I need new discs and pads all round (ouch!)
The wheels are in bad shape and need refurbishing.
I would like a remap, and at some point I will have to change the DRC.

Just my preference but
MRC or ViperBL for map
Bilstein PSS9's with Arbs to replace DRC
