If warranty won't cover the IC's then Mooch has given the answer.

Wagners are the way forward. When you compare them side by side they are chalk and Wendsleydale. IE. better :) You might be able to persuade the warranty company to put them on if you can show they are cheaper then OE.

How did you find out the bad news?

Wagners are great, form and function improvements, go for the fog delete too to increase the airflow and show off the carbon ducts!

I had my C5 for 6 years and 100,000 miles and sold it to a mate who has only done 900 miles in 6 months. I loved getting in a hearing that V8 growl in the morning from the day I brought it to the day I sold it. I still see her and give her a rub. 6 months in a C6 10,000 ,miles already

I have had my pride and joy since Feb this year, purchased it off my good friend Morginator, loving every second of it, cruising to Paris on Sunday, i hope the dam French don't block aid any more fuel depots, otherwise i won't make it :thumb:

Had mine since June, paid alot of money for an 03 but worth it for very low milage and mtm goodies, fell in love with murgello pearl. Had many quick cars. Had a 540i before this with supercharger conversion but the rs6 is still in a different class. May go down the manual conversion route when I get bored but honestley just want to keep mine immaculate and not do many miles. Don't do any long runs in mine so only just get around 220 miles to a tank!

5 years and ten months. experience has been good. great car and can find nothing to replace it.

unfortunately the drc has just cratered and rides like a blitz truck crashing over bumps, road ripples etc.

its a choice betweeen PSS9 and KW3.

looking for ride as close to standard- not race like.

any advice/opinions appreciated.

I get so much pleasure when I drive my Avant, that it's always worth another post ...

43,000 miles from new in May 2003 & IMO, the best colour combination .. Daytona with Natural Grey Leather ....
