£800 for the cambelt, is that a special deal?

[ant1]

13k including all the work? Did you pull his trousers down or leave them up. Fair play mate.
Cambelt price is pretty good, just waiting on Audi to confirm they can do mine for 1k.

everything including buying car 13.5k.

New box, cambelt, IC, service, & cambelts.

Already has 4x new tyres, tax for 1 year, and mot for 10 months.

Happy days.

£1200 for cambelt and service, good price. Who was that with?

AMD are doing the cambelt kit for £800 fitted.

They quoted on here £1000 but as the engine is out I haggled a bit.

£400 for the service is a estimate but tbh all the service items are being done when the engine comes out so really it's only a oil change!

Not touching the ARBs just yet, will do that myself. Just want to get all the big jobs out the way so I can enjoy the car without pending bills looming.

This is why I got the car cheap, but that's fine. 13k for a hassle free RS6, won't find many like this for that price at present.

Sounds perfect, enjoy the car when you get it back

£800 for the cambelt, is that a special deal?

Yes because of the rest of the work being done.

Glad its gone to a good owner. Just seen your message to me this avo so apologies for not replying earlier. Ive replied as per.

My mate said he saw you down Dorset / Hampshire way this morning. We were just heading back from a PH meet so i must have only just missed you myself, which would have been weird if id seen you. Let me know where you are in the world and we'll meet up.

Better than the BMW Eddie? Looks lovely!

Just different mate. Its way more lairy, and a tad quicker (507bhp in the Merc) but obviously its not as nimble as the M5. Its very much like a smaller RS6 with a better chassis and awesome sound.

[chunky79]

I bet it sounds better than awesome. How many sets of tyres you put on it?

Ive only had it since Jan and only done 520 miles. So thats 2 sets of rears already. Ha! No, not really that bad.

I had the tracking adjusted last week as i got new tread on the car. Instead of the 5k average that the standard set up brings the rears should now see over 10k. No change to the handling either. Its just as sideways as it was before.

Nice!

Always had a soft spot for the AMGs! Had a E series AMG tourer a few years ago, 2005 reg. Nice car but by god did it drink the fuel.

Gave her a good clean today. Still needs more work but the interior is done, just need to give the leather one more going over next weekend than I will be happy.

There are a couple of interior pieces I'm not happy with, just ordered a used climate control unit with no worn buttons, also a new light switch as this one is worn through.

Looks great mate, and its one of the few cars ive owned that i'll tuly miss. My dad still harps on about how ive not had a better car since my RS6. Whats the mileage now?

Just crossed 112k!

Doesn't feel like it though.

[posterboyj]

Looks fantastic!Hope you are enjoying!

[ecain63]

Out of interest. Did the car come with all the bits i put together when i owned it? Little black book with details of all work done. Folder full of reciepts. Touch up paint. Old magazines, brochures and photos etc??

[ant1]

Yep all here. I have the service book, a red folder with sub sections for all maintance, fitted extras, warranty claims, insurance, press pictures, magazine clips etc. Oh and I do have the touch up paint.

Only thing I don't have is the bloody manual ha ha.
