In case anyone is interested Audi Tradition is running a clearance sale.

Fair chunk of applicable parts for our C5s, and RHD things too e,g. some carbon interior trim etc.

Noice!

Astro. The pipes (flexi and solid) I got from RSCarparts are all new.
I believe they have them made to the original spec.
I believe The new oil cooler is similar and manufactured to the original spec.

Also very recently managed to obtain a used radiator.
In storage at the moment.
Cannot decide whether to keep it for future use or send it away as a pattern and get a new rad made up.

Hmmmmm. Wonder if it possible to fill it with coolant and store it to prevent rust...

It's likely be all aluminium and plastic.

Yes that was my thoughts on the rad.
But I will get it pressure tested prior to installation if I go that route.

Why don't you put the new rad in and send the old one for copying?

Hi Ben. The slight coolant leak I had on the bottom left hand corner has stopped quite some time ago.
Have not topped up the coolant reservoir for months.

As you suggested I intended to do exactly that.
But whilst it isn’t leaking decided to leave it for now.
And concentrate on other minor stuff

I'll go that route too. Shop's got a point though. If just plastic and alu then no corrosion risk. Can't hurt to fill it though, right?

It’s all packed up and stored.
So won’t be filling it with water.
Ally and plastic should be ok until I need it.

So the missus knows you're secretly building another RS6 bit by bit?

The missus hasn’t cottoned on yet.
But the bank manager has ?????????
