Any ideas welcome...
I drove over a pothole today which wasn't the worst but still enough to make a bang, when i went down the pothole my 2003 C5 RS6 cut out as though the battery had been diconnected.
It has no life going to any part of it like hazards, interior light or electric seats and all the dials are frozen at the readings from when I was driving and it cut out. Except for the battery volts dial which reads zero.
The battery leads were on tight and the battery is in good condition, but there is no power going to the fuse box in the dash or the ecu under the bonnet.
I disconnected the battery for around 3 hours but this made no difference.
Any suggestions please?

RE: electrical failure
How do you know your battery is in good condition? Have you checked it since this happened?
It does sound like something is stopping all juice getting to everywhere. There is a huge 200amp fuse in the engine bay somewhere near the windscreen I believe. Check that.

It was in the 200amp area, the live feed from there to the ecu had corroded.
